Terrace with patio and garden furniture (shared with other properties on-site). Bike store. Private parking for 3 cars. No smoking.. These two delightful holiday cottages (Refs MRA and MRB), each with its own history, are tastefully converted from former barns dating back to the 1600s. Retaining character and charm, they lie in a peaceful setting overlooking countryside with many cycle tracks nearby. Ideal walking and fishing country, yet close to famous attractions - visitors can step back in time at the Beamish Open Air Museum or visit the Metro Centre (a shopper’s paradise), Hexham (with its glorious abbey), Durham City (a city of contrasts, with its fine cathedral and designer shops), or the Northumberland coast, which are all within an hour’s drive. The medieval castle of Raby has a 200-acre deer park and is a firm favourite with visitors. An ideal location to explore all the surrounding aonb. Shop 500 yards.

We were so impressed with the cottage, the photos didn't do it justice and it was decorated, which we didn't expect. We had a really lovely Christmas there and can totally understand why people would go back time and again as per other reviews!
