Historical Farmhouse

The Farmhouse

Located to the west side of the old medieval longhouse, the Farmhouse is the largest of our cottages.
It has all the comforts of home; from flat screen TV and WiFi to washer dryer, dishwasher and for cosy nights in a wood burning stove.

Downstairs the entrance lobby leads into the spacious lounge/diner with cosy window seat, comfortable, quality sofas and wood burning stove. The dining table can comfortably seat 6.

A step down leads into the hallway where there is the staircase and downstairs cloakroom.

Through the hallway leads into the fully fitted traditionally styled kitchen/diner; with plenty of storage and counter space should you wish to prepare and cook your own meals.

Upstairs are the bedrooms, both ensuite. 

The master is extremely spacious; with a super king size bed and a vintage Ercol studio couch sofa bed (suitable for a child).
There are an abundance of original features; from the 16th century beams to the large medieval arched window with stone reveals. The ensuite has twin basins, a luxury roll top bath and a large walk-in shower.

The second bedroom can be set up with twin beds or super king. Again there are some fabulous original features from the 16th century roof trusses to a smaller medieval arched window. The stylish ensuite has toilet, basin and cubicle shower.

A really lovely place. Comfortable and I can imagine in the winter - cosy. I was there in the summer and the thick walls kept it lovely and cool. We loved our stay there. So lovely that you are dog friendly. Kathryn is a wonderful host. I would definitely stay here again. Very well equipped if you want to cook in. Lovely welcome basket, coffee, tea, biscuits and eggs from Kathryn's chickens! Hope to see you again soon.

A lovely, cosy property, superbly equipped for guests and in a good situation for visiting Durham and the surrounding areas. Clear instructions made the house easy to find, with easy checking in and out as Kathryn lives next door. We hope to be back one day!

We stayed in the Byre, the smallest of the three properties, and it was great in every way. Warm, comfortable, spotlessly clean and so well appointed. It was just as comfortable as being at home. We stayed there with our daughter who is a final year student at Durham University and would certainly recommend it to other parents of Durham students who need a few nights away from the stresses of univeristy life. Wish we'd found it earlier!

Excellant ☺ Quality of the premises and contents was really good. W ☹ We could have done with a couple of small fans as it was a warm week in the UK and we had to keep the windows open in the night.

Excellent. We were able to book 2 apartments so enjoyed use of both with extended family ☺ Historical building at heart of pretty village. Lovely big lounge/kitchen. ☹ Nowhere to kick a ball about. Bedrooms a bit small... but not a big deal.

Great property, but… ☺ The property is lovely inside, very well set up and has loads of space. It was clean and well provisioned. We found it a great place to relax. ☹ Sadly I had expected the enclosed garden to be immediately accessible from the door of the property. Whilst there is a small garden it is at the other end of the car park and so it was not possible to just let my dog out into the garden before heading to bed etc. This did not spoil our holiday too much, but was not what I was expecting from the property description.

Lovely comfortable accommodations - hope you love the cows outside your window ☺ The interior fittings and furnishings are all lovely - very comfortable beds, and excellent water pressure in the shower. ☹ Not keen on the ridiculous proximity to cows on the neighbour's property - can literally stare them in the eye through the windows while walking down the corridor. And they make a lot of noise.

Relaxing. As it was the first holiday in 14 months due to Covid, Perfect. ☺ Location was ideal for where we wanted to visit. 14th Century Barn was renovated to a high standard providing large spacious rooms. Master bedroom and en suite in particular. Though next to a working farm it was a quiet and peaceful place to stay. Local Village chip shop provided the best Fish and Chips we have had in years. Green close by to take dogs for a walk. Owners were helpful and thoughtful - would definitely stay again. ☹ The weather. Cold and wet for May though the owners cannot be blamed for that. Though there was some green space around there was no garden that was specifically for the property. Again, the nature of the Barns means this is not possible to change.

We stayed for Christmas and had a really lovely time. The cottage is very easy to access, cosy, clean, spacious and very well equipped. You can watch the cows and calves in the barn out of the window which was lovely. Easy access to beautiful beaches and coastal walks.
