  • "My husband and I and our 2 young children stayed here for a couple of nights."

    The accommodation was clean and comfortable. The hosts were very welcoming. The location was really nice and quiet. We would definitely book again if we revisit the area. We felt it was good value for money. Thank you for allowing us to stay.

    Thank you for your lovely review, it really means a lot to us. Look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Best regards Lynne & Chris Property Owner

  • "We have been cottaging for many years and have never before come across a couple so thoroughly nice welcoming and helpful as Chris and Lynne."

    Everything immaculate and very comfortable. THe village shop is a huge plus and Santonios Italian is a real find. DerwentWalk Inn is fine but a lot further and steeper for walking than expected. General information provided most comprehensive and very professionally presented.

    We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and sorry we didn’t get a chance to say goodbye. Thankyou for your review it means a lot to us, we shall add a footnote regarding Derwent Walk Inn. Kind regards Lynne and Chris Property Owner

  • "The owners were absolutely fantastic as was their property which was outstanding."

    The owners Lynne and Chris welcomed us when we arrived, lent us an umbrella and when my husband was unwell came out to where we were to support us getting back to the barn. They messaged every day to see how he was and offering to support in anyway they could. The barn is situated perfectly for great dog walks along the old railway line. Village shop opposite, pub within walking distance for a meal. The facilities in the barn had everything you needed. We will definitely be returning.

    Ali, Thank you for your wonderful review. So sorry Andy was ill during your stay. We look forward to seeing you both again soon fit and well. A bit warmer weather would be good so you can get out and explore all the area has to offer. You will always get a warm welcome here. Pleased you got home safely. Let us know when you book and we can see what's on in the area. Kind Regards Chris and Lynne Property Owner

  • "A cosy and comfortable cottage."

    Had four very pleasant nights in Barn2. The property was most welcoming - clean, warm and very peaceful. The beds and the sofas were most comfortable and the shower was such a delight I could have had three or four showers a day ! As a former teacher of history I was fascinated by the Roman remains in the garden and the wealth of industrial heritage in the locality. The village itself was a delight - friendly people, a great village store and excellent bus services. Thanks to Chris and Lynne for making our short stay so memorable - their friendly welcome and the lovely accommodation. Best of luck with the museum venture. Hope to be back again.

    Whilst relatively new, it was finished to the highest standards and was extremely welcoming from the 1st step. Comfortable beds with high end cotton linen and towels and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. My wife and I have stayed at many cottages around the country but this one really stands out. Owners Chris and Lynn lovely and accommodating. Would happily visit again

EBCHESTER

Consett 3.4 miles; Beamish 10.3 miles; Newcastle upon Tyne 15.2 miles; Sunderland 22.3 miles

Durham City 15 miles. Ebchester is a charming village perched on the boundary of County Durham and Northumberland, a stone's throw away from the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village takes its name from the beautiful St Ebba’s Church and the roman fort of Vindomora. The village is home to a well-stocked village shop with all the essentials you need for a holiday and a pub, Derwent Walk Inn, for those wanting a hearty meal or refreshing pint. You will also find Ebchester West Wood, a stunning National Trust woodland home to a vast variety of wildlife, where you can take morning walks or runs, breathing in the fresh air. The forest borders the River Derwent where you will find a small cascading fall and during warmer months why not try some paddleboarding? Cycling opportunities abound in the near vicinity with access to the Sustrans maintained Coast to Coast Cycle route and some superb cycling roads in the North Pennines. Venture out and find the stunning village of Beamish, home to the world-famous “Beamish, the Living Museum of the North”, an open-air museum. Here you will find another pub, The Shepherd and Shepherdess, to dine at. Further afield is the bustling city of Newcastle upon Tyne, with its wealth of eateries, cafes for a family meal or a light lunch, theatres and music venues. Visit the beautiful cathedral, one of the city's museums, and when the sun is shining head to North or South Shields for a beach day. Whitley Bay and Tynemouth are also worth a visit. Visit the stunning Durham Cathedral & castle. Enjoy a wander around the city, a stroll along the riverbank and maybe take a rowing boat out onto the River Wear. Take the B6309 up Ebchester bank, through Leadgate and onto the A691 directly to Sniperly Park and Ride where you can pickup the bus into the city (£2.20 day return)
