Breakfast was the best we’ve had in quite a while. The freshly chopped strawberries and melon with cream were especially tasty, and the cooked breakfast was a treat too, with very tasty bacon, sausage and black pudding, mostly from local sources. Our room was much better than we expected, bright and airy, with an immaculate en-suite and a view towards Kirkcarrion, a Bronze Age monument. The firm bed was very comfortable, and the quiet meant we slept brilliantly. The house itself is immaculate and feels like home, and the welcome was warm. The owner explained the layout and showed us to our first-floor room. The wi-fi was a bit hit and miss, though that can be a positive. We only came to Gentian House because our usual place was booked, but next time we’re in Middleton in Teesdale, this will be our first choice. It was cheaper than our previous lodging, breakfast included. Thanks for the stay, we’ll certainly be back.
