Cabins, a converted container and a barn on the edge of Darlington. The on-site Workshop does brunch every day and wood-fired pizza some evenings, with pool, ping pong and darts.
A traditional local just over the ring road from the town centre. It reopened as a real ale pub in 2013 and pours changing cask ales and real ciders beside a log burner.
A modern bar in the Imperial Quarter linked to the local Three Brothers Brewery, with rotating real ales, a wide craft keg range and regular live music.
A Grade II listed 18th-century coaching inn on Great Ayton's high street, with four beers, food all day and four en-suite rooms. A good stop after walking up Roseberry Topping or Captain Cook's Monument.
These are cottage booking sites we have an affiliate deal with. We don't check their cottages the way we check the places on this site, so read each cottage's pet rules and fees before you book. It costs you nothing extra, and it never changes what we list or how we describe a place.
