Mellwaters Barn Cottages

Histoire

The owners first saw East Mellwaters Farm one snowy day in November 2001. Their son, Andrew instantly fell in love with it and the surrounding area.

The family finally moved in on 1st July 2002. They had always been involved with agriculture on the arable side but going back in time families have always been livestock farmers either in Scotland or Devon.

When the family arrived here there was an old stone-built dairy/granary which was derelict and it was their son, who had always been in a wheelchair, who asked if he could convert this building into holiday cottages. Not just any ordinary holiday cottages. He wanted cottages for both disabled and able-bodied people. Somewhere families and groups could all holiday together.  This was the birth of the accessible and disabled-friendly cottages at  Mellwaters Barn Cottages as you see them today.

With their personal experience with dealing with disabilities, they take great pleasure in welcoming people who may be in a wheelchair or just less able to walk without help. You can view all of the features of accessible cottages to give you peace of mind that the property is a perfect fit for you. They've worked hard to make your stay the best it can possibly be if you or someone holidaying with you is less mobile.

They are  are situated just off the A66 Trans Pennine Road in beautiful Teesdale near Barnard Castle.
