4-star ecologically-friendly lodges along the River Tees

Accommodations

Whispering Waters Teesdale Lodges consists of three ecologically-friendly lodges positioned along the banks of the River Tees. Each lodge is designed to sleep four guests, featuring two double/twin bedrooms and two shower/WC rooms, ensuring adequate space for families or groups. Large glass doors provide scenic seasonal views across the river, while private hot tubs are located discreetly to allow for relaxing under the stars.

Environmentally Friendly Design

Sustainability is at the core of Whispering Waters Lodges, with constructions made from predominantly carbon-neutral materials. The naturally integrated wild flower and grass roofs entice local biodiversity, supporting bees and other wildlife. This thoughtful approach minimizes energy use, enhancing the harmony of the lodges with their rural surroundings.

Guests can explore the tranquil scenery with walks that lead to Gainford's picturesque village green, which lies a short distance away. Notable local attractions such as Bowes Museum and Raby Castle further enrich the experience.

Local Attractions

Teesdale is known as 'England's Last Wilderness', providing a stunning backdrop for outdoor adventures and cultural explorations. Not far from the lodges, visitors can access High Force, one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the area. The nearby Barnard Castle adds historical interest, featuring a medieval structure and local market charm.
