"Had an amazing week in Barn 3 - Marcus."

The property is stunning and has everything you need, from handwash, spare toilet rolls to a great coffee machine. It’s a great place to stay and unwind. Chris and Lindsay are fantastic hosts and are always on the end of the phone if you needed them. Would definitely recommend. Ideally situated for Beamish and surrounding areas. Will be booking again when we head up north again.

"Welcomed by owners very friendly."

Fantastic Stay, perfect base for Newcastle and Durham. Great walking in nearby Gibside National Trust. Very well laid out with quirky features ( Dog loved sitting on the wide windowsills watching the world go by ). Shower really good, Kitchen fully equipped, nice suntrap to sit outside on comfy chairs after a day out. Might benefit from a footstool of some kind in lounge area, and an outside hook to tether dog when sitting. Would return without hesitation

Kevin, Thanks for your review. Sorry we didn't highlight the dog hooks. We are adding it to the guest information. There are caribena's outside all lets secured to the stone. I agree they are important given we cannot secure any of the site for dogs. It might be worth us adding signage to them as we haven't seen them being used yet by guests. Thanks for the tip. We are in ikea currently so may invest in a footstool. Kind Regards Chris & Lynne Property Owner

"Excellent property with a very efficient EV charging point which worked effortlessly on two ev's Ideal floor surfaces for dogs but no where on site to exercise them."

Inconvenient booking Friday to Friday not Saturday

Caroline, Thank you so much for your great feedback. Your suggestion of Saturday to Saturday bookings is a great idea. We will discuss it with Sykes. You are right we don't provide an on site exercise area. The site has multiple lets that cannot be separately secured. We even have visitors and school trips wanting access to the on site roman remains. It's hard to balance everyone's needs. We are very glad you all enjoyed your stay. Hope to see you again one day. Kind Regards Chris and Lynne Property Owner

"Superb standard of property and facilities, immediately felt at home in the comfortable surroundings."

Great location, that allows travel to the wonderful North East of England attractions, which are in abundance.

Thanks Alan for the great review. Lynne and I very much appreciate it. Wishing you and Mary all the best for 2025. Hopefully we will see you and the family again soon. Regards Chris Property Owner

"Lovely cosy property, which was clean and finished to a high specification."

Chris and Lynne were very welcoming and helped make our stay a very enjoyable and relaxing one. We used the barn as a base to visit our daughter at university in Newcastle (20 min drive) and Northumbria. Housesteads, Sycamore Gap and Vindolanda are all worth a visit if you head up to Hadrian’s wall. Very enjoyable day at the seaside (Tynemouth), walking dog on the sandy beach and the castle was fascinating too. Disused railway line less than 500m from the cottage turning left and walking up shaw lane with great views over surrounding countryside. We would definitely consider returning to this lovely property. Ian, Jenny, Luke and Ted the dog

"A beautiful property with carefully considered features and good quality fittings - especially enjoyed the shower and coffee machine!"

Our two dogs also had a very happy stay and appreciated the doggy treats and other extras. Chris and Lynne were super friendly and helpful hosts. We had a great time exploring the area with easy access to woodland walks and not far from amazing beaches (Druridge Bay is highly recommended for wide and empty sands with crashing waves). For an excellent local takeaway we can recommend Wok N Go Chinese only 5 minutes drive away - they even cater for vegans!

"Our four night stay at Barn 3 was most enjoyable."

Could not ask for a better place to relax. Property is a blend of old and new, and finished to a very high standard. Location perfect for day trips to local attractions, with Newcastle, Durham, Hexham, Beamish and Derwent Reservoir all in easy reach. Chris and Lynne are excellent hosts and very approachable. Highly recommend.

Euan, Thank you so much for the lovely review. It was a pleasure meeting and great talking to you. Hope to see you both again soon. Kind Regards Chris & Lynne Property Owner

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.
