Located in a peaceful area with a pub and restaurant within 1 mile and plenty of local walks, rambles, cycle trails and fishing with a day permit in the River Wear all from the door. The beautiful city of Durham with its breathtaking cathedral, castle, historic university, river walks, shopping, and restaurants is less than 9 miles away. Enjoy visiting nearby Auckland and Raby castles, art exhibitions, and nature trails at Bowes Museum in Barnard Castle and of course, Beamish for a memorable day out. Book to see Kynren’s spectacular open-air show from July to September, explore the Durham Dales (16 miles) and North Pennines AONB (33 miles), or head to Northumberland’s glorious coastline.

Experience the charm and tranquillity of rural life in this newly converted barn, now a luxurious single-level holiday home set on a picturesque working farm with sheep and cattle. This unique retreat combines rustic character with modern comforts, featuring open pitched beams, high ceilings, and abundant natural light.

Walk through into a bright and airy open-plan living area, ideal for socializing and entertaining on special occasions. The well-equipped kitchen makes home-cooked meals a breeze, while the dining area offers stunning views of the rural surroundings. Relax in the cosy lounge area, complete with comfortable sofas and a Smart TV, perfect for rainy days spent indoors. The barn boasts four lovely bedrooms: a king-size room with an en-suite shower and WC, another king-size bedroom, a double bedroom, and a twin room that is ideal for younger guests. The family bathroom completes the accommodation.

The Old Byre is a go to if you are going to the area, its absolutely beautiful, extremely spacious, beautifully decorated and fitted out with all that you could possible need; we didnt need to bring a thing with us, Shelly thought of everything. The views are breathtaking, every morning got to wake up to the animals from the farm in the near distanRead morece from our windows. Theres not a negative thing I could even think of, everything was perfect and we were reluctant to leave. A peaceful haven! Hide
