Stackyard House

We had a fantastic family holiday and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The property is located in a peaceful village with plenty of lovely local walks to explore. It was very spacious, and the garden was perfect for both the children and dogs. We were also incredibly lucky with the weather. The only minor downside was that the outdoor furniture could do with being updated. Other than that, everything was great, and we would definitely look to return in the future.

This is excellent accommodation for family get togethers.

It is located in a lovely quiet village setting. The owners were exceptionally helpful, making our holiday perfect both in relation to explaining how things worked on arrival, local walks and any follow up. The accommodation is well designed for family gatherings with everything you could need for a few days away. As well as thoughtful welcome pack including prosecco and chocolates. Thank you for providing the perfect holiday home for a memorable weekend.

Could not fault this place, beautiful house in beautiful surroundings.

Everything catered for,ie dishwasher tablets, toilet roll, hand soap etc Can’t wait to book again

Grandparents, parents and children all had the most wonderful time.

The house and garden were beautiful and we all really enjoyed the hot tub. We also really loved the location, it was lovely being surrounded by the fields and very peaceful.

We booked this house as we needed a place for 4 families to be together for a 90th birthday celebrations nearby and this was perfect.

. The owners were so helpful with information when we arrived. Very clean with everything you need. Plenty of space for everyone. Great walks from the house for plenty of fresh air. We will definitely be back when we are all visiting relatives together again.

Beautiful home, could see how well cared for this property is.

Lovely location and made our stay very comfortable and enjoyable, would recommend.

Lovely property with plenty of space for a large group of family or friends.

Great bedrooms with 2 en-suite & 2 bathrooms. Good size separate laundry room. Spacious garden, not completely dog secure, but we managed very well. Hot tub was lovely to relax in. Owner is on hand if necessary. Lots of places to visit, walks etc. The Green Tree pub within walking distance serves great food usually need to book a table. Outside space has a tall wooden house/slide & swings for children to play. Overall we really enjoyed our stay, thank you Mark for your kind hospitality

We had a lovely couple of nights here, well equipped comfortable house.

Gorgeous garden and hot tub with amazing views. We visited the green tree pub over the road and had a great meal. Comfy beds and plenty of space to relax in we will be returning.

We really enjoyed our stay at Stackyard House.

It was the perfect location to celebrate my wife's special birthday. The sunset from the hot tub was breathtaking. The owner was very helpful. I would highly recommend the local pub- The Green Tree. We would love to return. Thank you very much

Lovely spacious property with ample rooms, bathrooms and storage.

Lovely hot tub and private garden. Good base to visit from but we never ventured out. Only went to the local pub (over the road) and had an excellent Sunday lunch. Property was perfect for our family birthday celebrations.

Great location with great views.

Downside is that fixtures and fittings were of poor quality, and cooking utensils were worn out or dirty. Nowhere near enough crockery for 10 people, fortunately there were only 7 of us.

A beautiful, modern, well appointed home that more than met our expectations.

Incredible property and views in a quiet neighbourhood with walking trails. We did not want to leave! I highly recommend.

Plenty of space for 10 of us, a lovely garden and view and set in a peaceful village location.

A good location for day trips to Raby and Seaham. We would recommend this house for large family holidays.

Highly recommend this cottage.

Great location in Tudhoe Village. Great accommodation. Roomy plenty of facilities and very clean. Enjoyed the hot tub. The owner is very friendly and helpful. A great base to explore the area.

This was a very good location and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

We think it would be useful to include a what3words location in the directions as this would enable someone to find the property more easily as it is a bit hard to locate as it down a gravelled track.

Fantastic property and lovely owners who went over and above to make our stay perfect.

We celebrated my parents 50th wedding anniversary here with two families.

The home was clean and spacious. Kitchen is big and had everything we needed. Spacious bedrooms and clean with towels present . Hot tub was clean and well maintained. Garden was enclosed which was great for our two dogs. Friendly support if needed. Lovely pub down the road and a nice walk down to a stream . I cant think of anything bad to say except maybe the mattresses need updating. We loved the space outside and got very lucky with the weather. Our children loved it and would highly recommend this home.

Fantastic property and, if anything, the photos on the web-site don't do it justice.

The garden was a joy with uninterrupted views in all directions - a relaxing and scenic way to end the day after the hustle and bustle of Durham City. The owners couldn't have been more helpful so a big thanks to them.

The location was perfect, beautiful countryside and quiet.

Lovely dog/child safe garden. Spacious property and great for 10 people. The owner was very helpful and kept the hot tub clean and maintained. A BBQ would have been greatly appreciated and some outdoor games.

Had a great stay at Stackyard house.

Checking in checking out was simple and straightforward. Everything we needed was there. Tudhoe village is lovely with realy friendly residents. Would definately recomend to others.

It was a beautiful house with plenty of room.

We went to celebrate my dad’s 60th birthday. We enjoyed our time. My only criticism is that only one jet on the hot tub worked.

This is an amazing place to stay.

There were 9 of us and it felt very spacious. Everything is beautifully done up and comfortable. The owner is very professional and helpful. We particularly enjoyed using the hot tub looking at the beautiful countryside. We would definitely consider coming back!

Great house in a great village lovely walks with the dog local pub very good friendly and food smashing all in all a great stay would go again

Had an absolutely brilliant weekend.

Can't recommend this house enough. Can't think of anything negative about anything. 2 Families having an early Christmas celebration, house was decorated for us. Hot tub was great - stayed nice and hot even when the outside temp was -5! Host was very attentive but not in your face, there if you needed anything. 5 Star

We had such an amazing stay in this beautiful house.

The hot tub was huge and a real plus, the location was idyllic! Can’t fault anything and we will be booking again in the future, thank you!

We loved this place.

We celebrated our mother 70th birthday at the property. Was nice to have your own en-suite and a downstairs toilet. The large longue area was prefect for a group of 10 people which included children.we stayed within the area, as it had lovely walks and a nice local pub to go to after. If we can we are hoping to re book next year.

Lovely big spacious cottage lots of space it's our 2nd time here we were the 2nd family to stay when it was built in may 2021 then again this year in October 2023 would certainly recommend it we all had a great four chilled days here from monday 30th October till friday 3rd November there were a family of 6 of us myself my partner my daughter , son in law , 2 grandchildren and their 2 dogs hot tub was great very spacious too .

Our family had a great stay in this beautiful, well equipped, modern and comfortable, pristine house.

The rooms were all very spacious and our grandchildren loved playing in the beautiful garden, while we enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub. The little village of Tudhoe is lovely and very peaceful with many lovely walks and we were so close to Durham with all the amenities it has to offer,

The house generally was excellent and I'd recommend it to anyone based on the bedrooms, bathrooms and the wider living area.

Huge space, well maintained, extremely comfortable. The garden was properly enclosed for the dogs. Couldn't fault the core offering. The gripes are trivial and fixable - more big pans, please, a bit more cleaning of the hot tub before guests arrive, and maybe relook at the angles of the security cameras to take them off guest areas and onto access points.

Lovely big house and garden.

We were a family of adults and kids celebrating a 70th bday party. Owner kindly gave us permission to have other family guests (mainly kids and elderly) over for an afternoon to celebrate a bday bbq and hire a bouncy castle. Extremely concerned that the owner had multiple cameras on the outside of the property. Three of these were pointing at the outdoor area and hot tub. This was not disclosed in the booking. We had children getting in and out of the hot tub and feel this is very inappropriate to have cctv on them. The owner visited daily to clean the hot tub and made several comments how dirty it was (don’t know what he expected when this was placed on the grass). He made lots of negative comments regarding previous guests. In reality we think he was checking up on us which felt very invasive.

The house is very spacious, so was perfect for us and we were 2 families of 4.

The views were amazing and the garden with the hot tub and a bonus. Quiet location, but great for exploring the rest of the county durham.

When we arrived at the property it was very clean & tidy the standard of the rooms was very high & the kitchen & bathrooms were to a very high standard the outside space was very neat & tidy & the girls loved the hot tub overall a very enjoyable stay would definitly recommend this property to anybody

Beautiful house in a beautiful location

A beautiful house and large private garden with spectacular views and hot tub was maintained by owner every day so it was a perfect place to stay Having toilet and a twin room downstairs was ideal for elderly relative.

The 4 rooms upstairs were spacious and bedding clean The settees were comfy and accommodated all our group and the chairs and loungers outside were ideal to relax there is a pub within walking distance and a few miles up road was an alDi to get any supplies. This accommodation is a great find and lives upto the pictures and info that is advertised

This is a wonderful property in a lovely rural location, the owner is extremely helpful and we had a very nice holiday

A modern and well maintained house in a quiet location with many local walks on the doorstep, but within 150 metres of a pub with good food.

Owner visited us every day and was very helpful. There are numerous places to visit within 1 hour drive.

Fabulous property with everything you need and very friendly and approachable owner

House was lovely and the view was superb.

Hot tub huge! Owner Mark was very helpful and on hand close by. Rooms were furnished to a high standard and very comfortable. The area surrounding the house is just lovely. We didn't leave the property for the 2 days we were there because the weather was brilliant and we were enjoying the hot tub and views too much! If the house had a larger fridge freezer or a second one in the utility, that would be a bonus as we did struggle to get all the excess amounts of food and drink that we bought into the single fridge freezer. We have already reccomended the house to others and would definitely return.

A fantastic property in a peaceful location.

The house was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. It is very spacious and a great layout for all ages in the family. The hot tub and scenery was perfect and a brilliant enclosed garden. Would definitely recommend the local pub just a couple of minutes walk, we had a lovely Sunday lunch there. We will definitely return again in the future.

Property did not disappoint.

Only negative point is there wasn’t enough comfortable seating for the 10 of us females to sit down together. Perhaps replacing the old bean bags, one of which kept losing its filling, with 2 small armchairs. However the hot tub was a big hit and owner very accommodating when we had a problem with it. We would go back again. Tudhoe is a pretty little village

Absolutely loved our stay at Stackyard House and would definitely stay here again.

Everything was furnished to a really high standard and the open plan downstairs was perfect for socialising as a group. Not to mention the views from the back of the house, it was quick to forget there were even other houses around. There is plenty of parking with use of overflow out towards the back of the house. The owner was really nice and was there if we ever needed anything. Again, I can't recommend this enough, far enough away from town to feel secluded yet close enough that any shops you need are only a couple of minutes drive away.

Had such a great weekend here and would not hesitate to book again!

This was for a weekend with my sister's family and it was perfect. It's a beautiful home with a great garden and walks from the property too; this was great for the kids and dogs. The kitchen is very well stocked and there was plenty of room for us all is the living space. The bedrooms are very cosy and there are several bathrooms too! Would highly recommend - thank you!

Beautiful, spacious, just perfect.

This property had everything we needed for a family weekend away. The wonderful spacious living area with stunning views, was perfect for us all to spend time together. We also enjoyed exploring the local area on dog walks and visiting the village pub. Host to this property was extremely helpful and on hand if we needed anything. Only improvement we could recommend would be larger pans for cooking as a family of 10 we struggled a little bit, but this would not put us off returning to this amazing property.

Had a wonderful weekend stay, getting family together to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday.

The property is absolutely beautiful, well equipped and very private with beautiful surroundings. Hot tub is a lovely touch. The owners are lovely, great communication and very welcoming. A lovely little pub not two minutes walk away serving food if you want it. Would definitely recommend Stackyard House and will definitely be returning at some point, ten out of ten.

Had a really enjoyable stay in this beautiful cottage over the New Year.

We were a family of nine and the cottage was very spacious and comfortable. It was very clean and had all the amenities you could wish for and in an ideal location for exploring the surrounding area. The welcome gifts were very much appreciated. We would certainly recommend a stay here and will be definitely visiting some time again in the future

All I can say is.

.. AMAZING!!! We stayed here over Xmas, there was 10 of us and 2 dogs. The place was beautiful, lovely and clean. Very big. The hot tub was just lush and was cleaned daily. There was Xmas decorations and a tree which was lovely. Everything you need is on hand. I can't recommend this place enough and I will certainly be returning.. The only criticism is there isn't any cleaning products so we bought what we needed, but an oven cleaner or bench spray would of been helpful so take a spray as we liked to clean up as we go. I mean its a minor thing really. Can't fault the place. All the rooms are spacious and the views are beautiful. I wish it was my home. Thank you so much for everything.

Great Stay!

great little village too with nice pubs and 30mins walk into Spennymoor or even bus to Durham for the day. Feels very remote though and private. House was very nice loved the under floor heating. Only marked down a little because there were only stick kindling no logs for the fire so didn't last long and no way of cleaning the ash left previously. Hot tub great but would have been nice to have some robes/flip flops. I brought mine as know its a good idea with hot tub. Hot tub was clean and Owner Mark came to check on chemical levels etc. He was very friendly. A guest book would be good for any recommendations etc, and maybe some board games? Check out could do with being an hour later... everything had to be cleaned and put back, which is fair enough, however I didn't put dish washer on correctly over night so pots etc left in working dishwasher.

The property is in an ideal location to visit Durham, Spennymore and Bishop Auckland.

There are lots of castles and museums in the area. The area around Tudhoe Village is beautiful and there are plentiful walks of varying lengths. The nearest supermarket is about a 5 minute drive. The views from Stackyard House are superb. The garden is extremely spacious with a fantastic hot tub which seats six. The pub in the village is a 3 minute walk from the house and serves excellent food. The hosts are the friendliest and most helpful hosts we have dealt with previously. The house itself is very spacious , clean with every facility you could wish for.

Absolutely fabulous house and a great host.

Coffee, tea and basic foodstuffs in the house very much appreciated, as was the wine and chocolates waiting for us on arrival. No reports of anything suboptimal apart from mirror light in ground floor bathroom not working, which made things a little gloomy there. Perhaps a mirror on the back of the door in the bedroom would have been useful. Overall, a wonderful week.

Fabulous property in a wonderful location

Excellent property and a very friendly and approachable owner.

Brilliant week in a lovely house.

The spa was amazing, lovingly attended too every morning by Mark. I mentioned a couple of things we thought might enhance future guests, and Mark took them onboard. Nothing detracted from a relaxing, calming stay in a beautiful house in a lovely village. Thanks

The property was well maintained & of a high standard.

The hot tub was a great attraction. On the whole the facilities provided were good. A better frying pan would have been appreciated. The area to the rear of the house was open countryside & there was plenty of room for both dogs & children to play & go for walks.

An amazing property.

The place was immaculate and Mark couldn't be any more helpful. We would recommend this place to anybody! Thanks again and we will definitely be booking up in the future.

Beautiful property with magnificent views and local walks

Great house for a holiday, very clean and well presented.

Garden and hot tub fabulous, attentive and friendly owners

What an amazing house!

We had a lovely family stay at Stackyard House. The property was clean, modern and in the perfect location for lots of dog walks. The village is lovely and quiet, with a nice pub down the road. The owner was excellent, definitely takes pride in the upkeep of the house and ensuring his guests have everything they need. The hot tub was great and extremely well maintained. The welcome gifts were a lovely touch, thank you! We will definitely be returning :-)

We had an amazing week.

The house was just perfect, the hot tub wonderful and situated so well with beautiful views. Great place to explore Durham and a trip to King Edwards bay in North Shields was well worth it. Will definitely be back.

My friends and I had a lovely break at Stackyard house.

The house is beautiful and lies in a lovely village with a great local pub. The house is well equipped and the owner was lovely. Would stay again.

Absolutely perfect accommodation, beautiful views, lovely walks.

Great food at the local pub only a couple of minutes away.

Beautiful property in a beautiful location thank you for allowing us to stay.

Excellent stay, Mark was really helpful and recommended places to visit.

Nothing was too much trouble for him. Will definitely be returning!

We had a gorgeous stay at Stackyard House, me and my friends fell in love with the house and the area.

I have already recommended it to family and friends! Hosts were also brilliant and very helpful! We cannot wait to come back :) Thank you so much!

Fantastic Christmas stay at a fantastic property, didn’t want for anything.

Mark, the owner is a really nice guy,thanks for everything.

Great house nice, clean & modern with great views and lots of woodland walks around.

30 mins walk into the town and only 2 min walk to a lovely local pub. We would definitely stay again :)

Immaculately clean property, perfect property for a lovely weekend away.

Close to a local pub, and lovely walks. Fantastic hospitality from owner.

Absolutely lovely cottage!

! Super clean and so spacious. The hot tub was great and the owner was super lovely and accommodating. Would definitely recommend for a group of friends or family.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would return.

I've just had an old friend ask Me for information about Stackyard House and Sykes , I recommended both.

Lovely cottage hot tub is brilliant.

The owners were very helpful. Highly recommend for a UK break.

Fantastic location, everything in the house was lovely.

Highly recommended!

The hot tub, lovely views, lovely owners.

We stayed at stack yard house as a group of nurses wishing to escape for a few days of rest and recuperation.

This was the perfect place to do it! We had a brilliant time and the house and gardens are perfectly clean and clearly well looked after! The location is perfect with a few pubs close by and some lovely countryside walks from the gardens. The hot tub is massive and could fit 6’people comfortably and was cleaned every day by the owner first thing on the mornings. I would highly recommend this place for a staycation and we will Definetly like to return at some point in the future!

Perfect location and house was beautifully presented.

The little extras were so thoughtful!!

This was by far the nicest place we have ever stayed, house was spotless, the garden was Beautiful.

Definelty be using again absolutely loved it better than a 5 star hotel absolute tranquility.. definelty recommend to friends well worth the money
