Situated on the grounds of the owner’s farm where purebred Aberdeen Angus cattle are raised, The Granary is one of two cottages in a superb location. The Granary is a converted detached granary. It has underfloor heating throughout and electricity is supplied by the farm’s own wind turbine. Overlooking the hills and dales of beautiful County Durham guests will be able to see over miles of open countryside right across to Durham Cathedral and beyond. Hidden away down a quiet country lane yet conveniently within easy distance of the county’s most historic and unspoiled scenery, The Granary has something to offer guests of all ages.

The property lies only 5 miles away from Bishop Auckland, where the incredibly popular Kynren Spectacular is performed between July and September every year.

Younger children and train enthusiasts will enjoy taking a trip to the National Railway Museum in Shildon which is only 15 minutes drive away or take a ride on The Train to Christmas Town which runs through nearby Weardale and leaves from Stanhope Station only 25 minutes away. Perfect for walkers and cyclists too, the property is surrounded by open countryside and fields, and guests will find many established walks, public footpaths, and cycle paths within the area leading out into smaller villages including Witton-le-Wear, Escomb, and Butterknowle. Hamsterley Forest is one of the north’s most popular destinations for cyclists too, and is only 4 miles away. This impressive 2000-hectare site covers some of the most beautiful countryside and offers various bike trails of different difficulties and plenty of walks for guests of all abilities including the very popular Gruffalo Trail for children.

    A beautiful cottage with everything you could need for a great quiet break. Big kitchen, lovely bedrooms and great bathrooms made our stay very relaxing. Plus really good owners, who checked we were happy with everything. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

    A home from home. Warm and cosy. Spotlessly clean. The owners have thought about everything you could possibly need during your stay. The granary is close to so many activities and attractions, yet is set in peaceful and tranquil surroundings. The owners are amazing. Just around the corner if you need them, kind and considerate. The welcome pack, milk and brownies a lovely touch. Would recommend the granary and certainly revisit. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

    We chose the Granary for its location and the pictures of the interior; we were not disappointed. The Granary is just a lovely place to stay, well away from the road, with great views and peaceful surroundings. Inside is comfortable, well equipped and just lovely. All this together with very welcoming hosts made our short break truly enjoyable. We had our two labradors with us who quickly settled in and found the garden to be perfect, very safe and secure. We hope to return again later this year.

    Lovely cottage, comfy beds, clean, modern bathrooms, friendly host, the list of possitive things is endless. The only minor negative is the lack of long walks directly from the cottage (some very overgrown public footpaths near the cottage), but there are plenty of good walks a short drive away. The owner very kindly told us we could also make use of one of their fields to walk the dog.
