This family owned and managed holiday cottage enjoys spectacular south facing views across Coverdale which can be enjoyed from both open plan living areas. The stone cottage, set in its own mature garden, has been recently renovated whilst retaining much of its original character.

A comfortable house with a lovely view
The property is spacious, with the addition of an upstairs lounge with a pool table (great for teenagers). All the beds comfortable and its very quiet at night. The kitchen is rather small in comparison, and the only space for food is a warm? larder cupboard. The other quirky thing is the lighting system, two way switches which are baffling when you first arrive and a buzzy light fixture. Also there were several defunct bulbs, but the caretakers did come and sort that out. All in all, a good place to stay.

Fantastic
Beautiful property, perfect for a family get together. Shame not to be able to enjoy the outdoor space so much in January but it would be lovely in the summer. Lots of space for big groups to spread out, lovely bedrooms and enjoyed both log fires. Really clean and prompt response to a couple of questions. WiFi also great, which is brilliant for those working from home. Thanks for a great stay!

Mile House East is a cottage that has been in our family for nearly 50 years. It is a home from home to my brother and I and our families. The children adore it..

Why they chose this property

Mile House East is a cottage that has been in our family for nearly 50 years and is currently owned by brothers Peter and Andy McKinlay. We have been able to refurbish and upgrade the property but retain the original features in this lovely old house. Last year we were able to extend the first floor into the old barn and create a large second living space as well as a fifth bedroom and second bathroom. Our families regularly use the cottage ourselves and we now have plenty of space. With three growing children in each family every corner of the dales becomes our adventure playground.

What makes this property unique

Wonderful countryside at your front door. Close to both Leyburn - a thriving market town where you can pick up anything you need for your stay. Community owned pub - The Foresters Arms - witin walking distance. Forbidden Corner - voted Best Family Day out 2012 - a few miles away.
