We loved the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful scenery from the lodge. Its perfect for relaxing, though those steps to the car park did occasionally make us nervous, especially after a long day. Still, lovely stay!

Wow, what a fantastic place! Weve done quite a few hot tub getaways over the years and honestly, this lodge might just be our favourite so far. The Otter cabin has stunning views that are perfect for relaxing, especially from the bubbling hot tub at night under the stars. Its really dog-friendly too, with gated decking, grassy areas and lovely river walks just a few steps away-our dog loved it! The hot tub was spotless, private and stayed warm the whole time, which was great. If you fancy venturing out, Barnard Castle is only about 15 minutes by car, with a pub, shop and chip shop nearby for convenience. The log burner made everything feel super cosy and we really appreciated the extra treats left for us and our dog when we arrived-that was such a sweet touch. Big thanks to Bill for being a lovely host; it was great to meet you! Were already planning our return to Whispering Lodges soon!

We had such a lovely stay at this little gem by the River Tees. The location is incredibly peaceful and perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle. The lodges facilities really suited us - especially the hot tub and the cosy log burner, which we couldn't get enough of. Its fantastic that dogs are welcome and the enclosed outside area was a real bonus for our pup to roam safely. The sliding patio doors are a lovely touch, offering stunning views of the fields and river right from the bed - waking up to that was just beautiful. Theres plenty to see and do around here, so were already planning our next visit. Cant recommend it enough!

We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge. It was spotless and beautifully decorated, making us feel right at home. The hot tub was a real highlight, perfect for unwinding after a day out. The welcome pack was such a lovely touch, we appreciated it a lot. Only downside was the tiny ice box in the fridge - it couldnt keep things frozen for long. A bigger fridge would be a big help if staying longer.

This lodge really ticks all the boxes for us. Its so cosy and welcoming, with little touches that make a difference-like the homemade cake and fizz. The starter pack of essentials was handy and they genuinely care about pets, with treats and bowls ready for our dog. The owners are lovely, nothings too much trouble. Cant wait to come back again!

We stayed at Whispering Waters a few weeks back and honestly, were still talking about how lovely it was. Sorry its taken us ages to get round to saying thanks! Bill, Sue and Bea really made us feel at home; theyre so welcoming and attentive. Even though our plans changed and our group was smaller than expected, we had such a chilled-out break in the most stunning setting. The welcome basket was a sweet touch and kept us busy trying all the treats. The drive from Cornwall was long, but totally worth it - especially since Bill suggested the Fox Hole for dinner. The belly pork there? Absolutely to die for! The lodge itself was just perfect - thoughtful little details everywhere, making for a proper stress-free escape. We left feeling relaxed and refreshed, which is just what we needed. Cant recommend Whispering Waters enough if you want a peaceful retreat in beautiful surroundings. Thanks so much to Bill, Sue and Bea for making our stay so special!

We had a fantastic stay at this lodge! The location is peaceful and away from the hustle, perfect for unwinding. The place itself is super modern and comfy, with all the amenities you could want - internet, TV and a thoughtful welcome pack with milk, bread, tea, sugar and some sweets. Everything was spotless and well-maintained. The log burner was a nice touch and they even provided kindling and lighters, which was handy. The detailed welcome folder covered all the info youd need about the lodge and local area, making check-in smooth. Were a family of four and honestly, the kids loved it so much they didnt want to leave! The only thing to keep in mind is that, because its an eco lodge, running out of logs can make it a bit chilly at night, but there were plenty of blankets. We only lit the fire on the last night - otherwise, it was cosy enough without it. Great place overall!

Had a lovely weekend away with the family, kids didn't want to leave! The lodges were really well-maintained, super clean and felt private. The facilities were great and the dog welcome pack was a thoughtful addition. Bill was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
This is the 2nd year that we have been to Whispering Waters Lodges. Highly recommended and Bill is so welcoming and helpful . Lodges are immaculate & hot tub is amazing . The welcome pack is superb will definately be back again next year and have recommended these lodges to friends and family.
Beautiful lodge with stunning views. Met on arrival and could not be more helpful. Hot tub was superb, booking again for later in the year.
Lovely place to stay great lodge and a very friendly owner.
Just a beautiful spot in quiet surroundings with a lovely host. Would recommend this to couples or families.
Wonderful setting and surroundings for a rural retreat. There is plenty to explore and places to visit. We took out dog Lola and she loved playing in the stream outside the cabin. Fantastic if you have a dog with secure fencing around the lodge.
Really had a lovely relaxing 4 days lodge and surroundings beautiful only 1 small comment the 2 seater setees not very comfortable and also could do with a chair on the decking bench not comfortable to sit at
I had a lovely few days away the lodge was perfect my only downside was not many activity’s around to do with a one year old but for an adult get away this is the perfect place and the dog absolutely loved it too!! I would defiantly recommend and visit again :) the lodge owner was very helpful and friendly :)
Beautiful lodges in quiet surroundings.
Lodge has everything in it that you will need,nice touch with the welcome basket and Prosecco in the fridge.
Dog friendly too
Lovely quirky little cabins, with everything in it that you need would definitely return
Great location with lots to explore in the area. Lodge Very dog friendly and has everything you need for a week away. Lovely welcome hamper with bread, biscuits, milk, Prosecco and a few other bits. Also a doggy one with blankets, bowls and treats so pets felt very welcome too. Great walks along the river straight from the front door. Would definitely recommend and hopefully we will be back again!
Loved our break - place was fab ... location even better.
Perfect for dog walks into Gainford or further along the other side to Winston bridge ...
Will be back !
