Best trip

We had such an amazing experience! From start to finish, the service was outstanding. Every member of staff was so helpful and went out of their way to support us. A gentleman called Olwen gave exceptional customer service — he truly stood out. The whole experience was beautiful, and it honestly felt like we were in a different country. We absolutely loved it and will definitely be recommending it to others. We can’t wait to come back!

One Night Country Escape with Dinner for Two
Peter · 18-05-2025

Excellent value

Forresters is set in charming Middleton in lovely Teesdale and near many other attractions such as Raby castle. The rooms are very comfortable with excellent beds, the food is top quality French cuisine at ordinary prices or standard food such as burgers or chilli con carne if you want that instead. The bar is friendly and good value and Franck a great host. If you want quieter rooms away from the bar just ask. This is one of the loveliest and best value places in the UK and Middleton itself is a friendly unspoilt large village still with a wide range of facilities, including several excellent cafes, pharmacy and supermarket, that you wouldn’t normally expect nowadays even in much larger places and where the community is a good mix including of all ages.
