"A wonderful New Year weekend break for the 6 adults and 3 children in our party."
The accommodation was festively decorated adding to it’s charm and cosiness. Every need was met with a warm welcome of a home baked cake and wine. Ocado delivery easily found the house despite the rural location. We had taken a selection of board games for the children but didn’t need to as there were plenty available. The 9 of us enjoyed our roast dinner after cooking in a very well equipped kitchen and being able to keep the food hot in the server. It was a damp cold weekend so we didn’t venture out much, only to walk our 2 dogs at the nearby Hardwick Park. (Well worth a visit) and on our return a convenient rear porch with dog towels made available. Highly recommend.
It is such a delight to have such lovely guests. Thank you for your review, it is so appreciated. I am delighted your stay was such a lovely start to your New Year. Catherine Property Owner

"A lovely, well-appointed house in a quiet rural spot."
The rooms are all spacious, clean comfortable and nicely furnished and the sheltered garden proved to be an effective sub-trap. Sedgefield, with its range of pubs, cafes and restaurants, is a pleasant walk away. The owner left some edible and drinkable goodies as a thoughtful welcome gift. Recommended for a restful holiday break. Matt

"What a great find!"
North Farm is close to lots of beautiful countryside and some lovely towns / villages. The house itself is decorated to a very high standard. In particular, it was a pleasure to cook in the exceptionally well equipped kitchen and the bathrooms were very clean and felt like you were staying in a fancy hotel. Our dog could play safely in the enclosed garden. The delicious cake on arrival was a lovely and welcoming touch. The owners live nearby so are there to help if you need to it. We'd highly recommend North Farm and we will be back.
Thank you for your lovely comments, much appreciated, you were perfect guests. I am so pleased you had such a lovely stay. Property Owner

Resting on the edge of the market town of Sedgefield, in the village of Foxton, County Durham, lies this lovely holiday home, North Farm.
Perfect for friends and families alike, this property is conveniently located between two national parks and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and is home to plenty of home comforts and gorgeous woodland views.
Inside, make use of a fully-equipped kitchen, where you can whip up delicious meals for the whole group to be savoured at the dining table before settling down in the sitting room, where a woodburning stove takes centre stage, to enjoy a film or two on the Smart TV.
When the evening draws to a close, retire to one of five well-presented bedrooms, all of which invite guests to drift off to a night's refreshing embrace.
If you can tear yourself from your charming base, be sure to stop into Sedgefield, where a lovely cup of tea awaits you at the Number Four, or perhaps book a table at The Herd & Herb Restaurant if you fancy a break from cooking one evening.
Darlington is a short drive away, home to the beautiful Rockwell Local Nature Reserve and Drinkfield Marsh Nature Reserve, as well as South Park, a location hosting regular live performances throughout the year.
Middlesbrough is accessible by car, brimming with tourist attractions such as Albert Park, the Middlesbrough Docks, and the Dorman Museum, which has a plethora of both permanent and rotating exhibits.
Slightly further afield you can find the cathedral city of Durham, home to the eponymous Durham Cathedral and historic Durham Castle, the gorgeous grounds of the Old Durham Gardens and the Botanic Garden, as well as the stunning National Trust landmark location of Crook Hall Gardens.

The River Tees running through the town offers a plethora of watersports activities including rowing and canoeing, as well as dragon boat racing, and pleasant strolls along the Tees Walkway, accessed via the Millenium Footbridge. A day out can be spent with the kids at Air Trail, which boasts the biggest climbing adventure course of its kind in the UK. Set over four levels, with tight ropes, swinging stepping stones and balancing beams floating high above the River Tees, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Middlesbrough offers many places to eat, drink and shop as well as having a thriving nightlife and many attractions worth a visit including, the Dorman Museum, the Institute of Modern Art, and Stewart Park covering 120 acres of woodland and lakes, along with the Captain Cook Birthplace Museum.
