  This cottage is more than we could have ever asked for.

  We were travelling as 2 couples with our two little daughters. Both bedrooms had enough room for a travel cot and being all in one level meant they could toddle around safely and play together. The enclosed outside area meant we were able to have some time to explore. There is a lot to do for children in the area, all close enough to be able to get there and back before naps. The setting of the area was stunningly beautiful and watching the sun rise and set was a personal highlight. The cottage itself is renovated to such a high standard. The doors and walls are all very soundproof so we weren’t disturbing each other whilst up in the night with the little ones. It was truly a home away from home. Extremely well appointed and had everything we could need or want. There were some wonderful little touches that just made the week so special. Ruth, who owns the property, was extremely helpful and accommodating, even helping us with recommendations for local events. If you are considering booking this cottage, do it now, it’s a hidden gem.

  This was by far the best holiday we’ve ever had in this country.

  We’ve never visited the area before and it did not disappoint, it was stunning. The cottage was just perfect, tastefully decorated but so comfortable with everything you’d need. The hot tub was fantastic, we used it every day (more than once most days!) and the views were gorgeous. It was so peaceful and relaxing. There are plenty of things to do within easy reach (we especially enjoyed visiting the beach at Seaham and hunting for sea glass and walking at Derwent Res - great play area and only 6 minutes away!) we’ve never been tempted to go back to the same place but would 100% return here, it’s left us feeling so relaxed and refreshed. The owners were super friendly but not at all intrusive. We didn’t want to leave, it was fantastic!

  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. John, Susan and Lyndsay Stanton

  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

  This cottage is one of the best I have stayed in.

  The decoration of the cottage is very high quality and absolutely gorgeous. The kitchen has everything you need and more. Again beautifully designed. Great ensuite and main bathroom. Lovely showers and having two is a great bonus for 3 adults. The views from the living room is stunning over the countryside with the bonus of sheep, pheasants and rabbits. The bedrooms are a good size. There is also a laundry room which has very good white goods. A bonus. The hot tub is fantastic. Just the right temperature and again stunning views. The gardens around the property are great too. Perfect.
