Farmstay holiday rentals in County Durham

My sister and I really enjoyed staying in Binks cottage. Amanda and her family made us feel very welcome and we were able to see the lambs in the barn and learn about their care. The cottage is exceptionally comfortable and had everything we wanted. Excellent place to stay. Thankyou!

Spacious and comfortable cottage ideal for a couple in a pretty village by the moors. We enjoyed visiting the surroundings including the city of Durham and Beamish Open Air Museum as well as castles and countryside. On street parking was no problem as we always parked in front of the cottage.

Absolutely beautiful area, very private with stunning views! Waking up to rabbits chasing each other just outside the window was lovely, let alone the friendly sheep or the birds that live there. Make sure to bring a torch as it gets very dark at night! Was thrown off by not having a tv but the log burner made up for it by creating such a comfortable and relaxed space. Left here with a very clear head and a very happy dog Massively recommend this place

Absolutely amazing location and property. Check in and communication was hassle free. Made to instantly feel at home. Immaculate cleanliness and all the facilities to make our stay perfect. Unfortunately, we had to leave the property to go back to work (otherwise would have loved to stay longer). Full credit to Bev for her hospitality.

We had a wonderful family stay at this beautiful, cosy cottage on our way to Scotland. The cottage is warm and welcoming, with comfortable furniture that made us feel right at home. The surrounding gardens are absolutely stunning—such a peaceful place to relax, especially with the lovely spring weather. The area is full of charm and natural beauty, making it the perfect escape. We truly enjoyed our time here and would love to come back!

A beautiful cottage set in a peaceful village. The cottage is full of quirky furniture and features and is so characterful. Lovely views from front and back of the dale and it was really nice having the horse out the back, he even came to visit us one evening! We were staying in the cottage to celebrate my sister's 50th birthday and the wonderful accommodation and setting really contributed to what was a lovely break. I'd recommend a walk along the Wear to Westgate where a visit to Slitt Woods is a must for nature and history lovers! Be sure to download the information leaflet from the North Pennines website with lots of interesting information on it. I'd also recommend a walk round Tunstall Reservoir. We walked down to the pub in St John's Chapel one evening too for a meal. Food was the usual pub grub but very tasty and the staff were very friendly. Only slight issue, parking was a bit tight outside the cottage but there's plenty of space on the quiet side roads to park.

The Annexe was a lovely place to stay peaceful and private. We had a little issue with parking as the place assigned to The Annexe had been taken , a call made to Carlene and this was sorted. A great break.

Meeting Gill and Niel was such a pleasure, they made us feel really welcomed upon arrival. Woodside Lodge is beautiful with gorgeous views and had everything we wished for to relax and unwind during our stay, we loved the homemade scones and Gill even let me take away the flowers she'd arranged before I departed. Thank you for having us, we'll definitely be back again soon.

Easiest way to put it, it's a home away from home. Host is amazing and very responsive. Definitely coming back again!

Me and my partner just spent 2 nights here celebrating 7 years together and this was just the perfect place. I can’t recommend the hut enough, it’s beautiful and peaceful. Lots of things to do in the surrounding areas so you have the option to relax and do nothing or go into Richmond etc for the shops and restaurants. Fiona was super helpful from booking right until the end of our stay which makes all the difference. Thanks again

This was a great place to stay and was perfect for our road trip. Everyone was clean and modern and Pamela was an excellent host. The little extra touches such as providing bread, milk and eggs added to what was a lovely overnight stop. I highly recommend it!

Myself and 2 friends stayed for the weekend with 3 dogs and it was a great place for us. Lovely peaceful village with plenty of walks nearby. The cottage is spacious and well equipped and Laura was a really responsive and helpful host. Turning the TV was a little challenging but Laura sent us videos which were really helpful and don’t think we would have cracked it without them! We ate in the local pub (Bay Horse) and really enjoyed the food. Highly recommend the cottage.

I stayed in flora at the garden rooms, it was an easy quick check in and was given a friendly welcome and informative instructions on the use of the log burner hot tub, its in a scenic spot and I had a great time, we were greeted with a welcome basket with snacks and a bottle of Prosecco, not many places go down to little details like this, absolutely perfect stay.

We absolutely loved this cottage, we felt instantly at home and it was a perfect break away after the busyness of Christmas. The rooms are spacious and clean, and well decorated. The host, Kimberly, was great with keeping us informed and answering questions. Loved the little touches like the shortbread and having all the basics there for us including a pint of milk. We'd definitely recommend this cottage and we'd love to come again.

Just back from a short stay at Congburn Mill cottages. We loved the house, great location, very peaceful and great for our boys. they loved the stream, swing and Ginger the cat! The accommodation was great, with great attention to detail. Jane was a super host, very friendly and helpful.

We are just back from a fantastic few days at Bluebell Cottage. The location is great, and the view from the cottage is spectacular. Patrick and his family are great hosts and very welcoming. The sunsets from the cottage are amazing and the environment very tranquil, just what you need when trying to escape busy towns. We were very lucky with the weather which was unusually high for April but the best part of our stay was that it was lambing season and we were fortunate to witness many lambs being born. Kirsty, Rosie and Patrick were very knowledge and brilliant at keeping us involved and updated about the new editions. A really lovely experience and would highly recommend.

Myself, my boyfriend and our dog loved staying in the railway cabin. It was a beautiful location with a beautiful, comfortable cabin with everything you could need for self catering. Lots of good walks, mtb trails, pubs and cafes in the local area. The hosts were so lovely and accomodating and added a really personal touch to our stay. On the last day, we had lunch in the cafe on sight which was delicious. We would recommend to anyone and would definitely stay again!

Really lovely and peaceful setting with the most gorgeous views from the garden. My dogs loved to mooch around the garden. The house was extremely well equipped with many details like some goodies left by the Scott. I had a couple of queries at the beginning and he was great at responding immediately and answering my questions. Very homely , traditional house. I would definitely go back.

Such an amazing, secluded, location and a unique and quirky space. Upon arrival, we were greeted with welcoming music, all the information we needed and a few unexpected extras. The views were stunning and, even if the weather doesn't hold up, you can enjoy the vista from the sofa! We couldn't be happier with our hosts and stay and would highly recommend.

This converted chapel is something else. It’s right out in the middle of 360 landscape views, surround by fields. Inside is warm and homely, yet trendy and modern. Comfy beds, great bathrooms with ample hot water. The open plan kitchen, dining, living space is perfect for spending time with friends and family. Each room has its own bathroom, and a window looking out into the scenery. The kitchen has everything you need, and more! With wine and nibbles left for you. The cookware was clean, the knives were sharp, the kettle chirped a happy tune. There is a bean-to-cup coffee machine which makes a tasty coffee at the press of a button. Surrounding the chapel are tidy landscaped gardens to sit and enjoy the views. One of the best airbnbs I’ve stayed in.

Great accommodation. Very spacious and clean.

Excellent stay I had an excellent stay at this Airbnb! The property was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, providing a relaxing environment throughout my visit. The host was responsive and accommodating, ensuring all my needs were met seamlessly. The overall experience exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a pleasant and hassle-free stay. I would definitely book again in the future!

Literally the best place to stay. So close to the city, but far enough a way that it is quiet! Great recommendations and awesome breakfast 😊
