Mellwaters Barn Cottages

Histoire

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

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

When we arrived here there was an old stone built dairy/granary which was derelict and it was our 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 our personal experience with dealing with disabilities we 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 in our accessible cottages to give you peace of mind that we’re a perfect fit for you. We’ve worked hard to make your stay the best it can possibly be if you or someone holidaying with you is less mobile.

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