Otters Holt Reviews

Superb location, very quiet and peaceful, hot tub was a bonus. Everything we needed was there. Steven and Mary were fantastic hosts both helpful and friendly.
Charlotte
Mary and Steven were incredible and the cabin itself was better than we could have ever imagined! We will definitely be returning!
Natalie
Would highly recommend anyone to stay at the Otters Holt, very friendly owners and extremely helpful in showing us around to ensure we knew how to operate all equipment. Even had some milk, biscuits, and fizz left for us, will definitely be booking a return visit very soon.
Otters Holt is the most wonderful place to stay, it is on the grounds of a working farm, but set out so well, the owners Mary and Steve were so welcoming, there is everything you need for your stay, it is a must to stay I am recommending it to all my friends and we will definitely be back.
What a fantastic lodge, everything you need and more, the hosts are on hand if you need anything and are a lovely couple. Highly recommend and we will be back x

Another lovely stay at Otters Holt, this time for a week. Thanks again to Mary and Steven for being such great hosts they couldnt do any more to make their guests feel so welcome and enjoy their holiday. Cant wait to be back!
Richard
Great cabin for the New Year. A lovely location and good area to have a break, lots of local sites to see and then of course relax. Hot Tub lovely.
Great place to stay! Quite, private and all out relaxing. We've stayed in a lot of different types of cabins and locations and think this one was probably the best! Great host welcoming, with a fantastic hot tub set up ready when we arrived. We've already said we'll be back.
Kathryn
This was our second stay at Otters Holt and we loved it just as much as the first time. It was our intention to just stay put and chill and thats exactly what we did. The lodge was lovely and cosy and the hot tub just added to the complete relaxation we were looking for. We had a lovely welcome and farewell from the owners too.
Everything was as promised, complimentary goodies were a nice touch, so quiet and peaceful and special thanks from EVA the dog for the comfy blankets. Returning in the summer, thanks to Mary and Stephen

Weve just returned from a fantastic stay, the cabin had everything you would need, was spotless and extremely comfortable the hosts were fab , seriously the most relaxing fabulous break weve had cannot rate it high enough , we will be returning for sure x
Jessica
We absolutely loved every moment. The hosts were so welcoming and friendly, the freebies and welcome treats were really thoughtful. The hot tub was new to us, but the host took the time to show us how to best use and was always available for any questions. The cabin was so clean and cosy, the wood burner was in use almost every night and really makes the whole thing a wonderful and private experience to relax and enjoy the space and quiet. Our dog loved it too! We will definitly be back!
Leeanne
Seconding the other reviews that this is a lovely spot and well hosted. We chose it for the location and the treat of the hot tub. With mixed weather for the week we did a mix of walking and visiting the sights. There is lots to do within a 10 minute drive and we took a longer drive out to Cumbria for a day. The lack of oven means that cooking facilities are limited for a longer stay, but there are lots of options for eating out nearby and pasta and rice dishes are easy to cook on the hobs. We have an anxious dog and she didn't bark from within the lodge, it was so quiet, even with other people staying and it being a working farm. Outside the lodge was also very quiet. Thank you for a wonderfully relaxing break.
Michael
We had a lovely holiday, upon arrival we were greeted by Stephen, and he showed us around, it was peaceful and relaxing, would definitely stay thier again.
Just stayed 4 nights at otters holt and it was better than we expected hot tub was ready on arrival the owners steven and Mary had called us before our arrival to tell us it would be and what to do before getting in it , log cabin was clean and well set out with everything you need for your stay bed was comfortable shower and toilet were lovely and clean , the way the cabins are situated means you've got maximum privacy the owners were there if you needed anything or info and were very pleasant lovely walks around the farm and plenty to see and do within a half hour drive views from the cabin were lovely no road noise at all day or night all in all very relaxing break will be booking again .
Angela
On arrival we was greeted by the lovely Mary who showed us round the lodge which was impeccable and the hot tub which Steven had already contacted us to see if we would like it fired up and ready for arrival. Great customer service even before arrival. The lodge was warm and cosyand fully equipped with everything we needed for the weekend. As well as some welcome bubbles and biscuits for us to enjoy. Even Bowser had a welcome bag which made his tail wag! The farm has great walks for the dog as well as the enclosed field so he could have off lead time. If your looking for a relaxing, quite, romantic place to stay then this is the perfect place to stay. It also has some great places to visit locally if your looking for days out to. We will definitely be returning as soon as we can.
Teresa
BreathTaking views. Immaculately clean lodge. Facilities are wonderful. Our daughter books each year for us and we never tire of the views. The hosts Steve and Mary are very friendly and make you feel welcome on arrival. Loved walking around the farm.
Just got back from a 4 night break and already looked to see when its next available. Fantastic location with lots of places of interest nearby. Peaceful and relaxing Would definitely visit again

We had an amazing stay at Otters holt for a belated 40th celebration! ! We were so lucky with the weather you would have thought we were abroad! Steven met us an arrival , very helpful and friendly...Mary also lovely...Nice to meet you Both! All the little touches were thought of, Fizz, milk and biscuits on arrival. We couldn't believe how quiet and peaceful it was and so sheltered from any wind. We all had a lovely time , especially our little dachshund he LOVED it ...his favourite thing was just sitting on the decking. Thank you for a lovely stay, we would highly recommend it!
Had a lovely short break at Otter's Holt, peaceful and relaxing slept like a log. Hot tub was ready and waiting when we got there, and nothing was too much trouble for the hosts. Everything was spotlessly clean couldnt ask for more. We will definitely be back soon. Paul,Tracy and Nell the dog
Thanks for a lovely 5 nights at Otters Holt. We had the most amazing time, enjoying the countryside, and relaxing. The lodge location is perfect, and has privacy from the other lodges. Inside every detail has been thought through, and we loved the otter touches!!! So nice arriving to a bottle of fizz, milk and biscuits, and even the dog had a goody bag!! Highly recommend a trip into Barnard castle. We went on the bus, and enjoyed a few drinks! Thanks Steven, and see you soon
Olivia
Me, my Husband & our dog had an amazing weekend here! We would 100 recommend and would love to go back! It is such a lovely place, totally peaceful & relaxing. Not too far a drive away from the local villages, about a 9 minutes drive to Raby Castle which was well worth the visit! The lodgecabin was great, comfy bed and the hot tub was fab! The hosts were also lovely, they went out of their way to put birthday banners and a balloon in the lodgecabin for my Husbands birthday which was really nice of them to do! I did ask prior if this was something they did, but they did go above and beyond what I was expecting. Thank you again!
Everything was above and beyond our expectation would definitely recommend we ... Everything was above and beyond our expectation would definitely recommend we loved it that much we have already booked again for August Bank Holiday
Cracking getaway. Very peaceful with great surroundings. Not a huge issue but a softer mattress would push a score of 9.5 to a 10 out of 10. Me and wife definitely would book this property again and recommend to everybody.
Beautiful place and wonderful hosts
Debbie
Once again we had the most amazing stay. Everything was as it should be and Steven and Mary were so helpful. A lovely welcome pack, much appreciated and the hot tub was bliss. Wonderful to watch the sun go down with a glass of bubbly in the tub, hearing nothing but birds and sheep. Even our dog, Max was chilled out. Somewhere to go if you want to get away from it all and enjoy the peacefulness of the countryside. Will be back again. Debbie and Andy
Fantastic location, plenty to see and do within a short drive or walk. Amenities were immaculate, even Jack the lab had his own welcome basket. The owners were very attentive and a wonderful 3 days were had, would definitely recommend anyone to stay.

Everything with our stay 2 nights at Otters Holt was spot on. Mary & Stephen are so accommodating, always thinking of us from complimentary milk, biscuits top tier biscuit choice!, bottle of Prosecco and keeping the hot tub warm & ready each night. Everything in the cabin is so clean, kitchen lovely, bed comfy, bathroom cleanmodern, & the gas fire is amazing. Lastly, a great touch is the binder full of info on nearby needtoknow things & details about local wildlife! 100 recommend a stay here
Georgina
My boyfriend and I had an absolutely amazing weekend here. The lodge was gorgeous and so cosy. Cant wait to come back!!
This property was absolutely amazing. We brought our two small dogs along with us and I didn't expect two blankets and bowls for them. Also we were spoilt with complimentary Prosecco, milk and biscuits. The getaway was just what we needed and we were welcomed. The hot tub was ready and warm to use and the sky was clear with stars in abundance. We've booked again. Thank you for a lovely stay.
We had a great stay with very mixed weather as storm Babet blew through. Hot tubs and facilities were very relaxing. Hospitality and information on local eateries was really helpful. Thanks
Thank you for a fantastic stay. This property is lovely and exactly as described. Mary and Stephen are great hosts, and made sure our stay was excellent. Our dog came with us and was well catered for with his very own field to run around in. I would definitely recommend this as a place to stay.
