Farmstay vacation rentals in County Durham

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.

Bev’s place was a perfect spot to relax surrounded by lovey countryside. Exceptionally clean and homely.

We loved our stay at the cottage. Peter and his family were kind hosts, allowing free access to the beautiful grounds at their property. Our puppy loved being able to chase the resident dog (Betty) around the secure garden, a first for her! The cottage is immaculate and even nicer than the photos. The location was perfect for quiet long walks, remaining unspoiled from tourism. It really was lovely and we’d love to come back.

Brilliant stay.. so peaceful and spacious inside and out! Really well equipped and huge hot tub that is actually hot :) Will definitely stay again!

A beautiful peaceful spot surrounded by beautiful countryside and views. We particularly loved the field with the horse behind the house. Beautifully decorated. Comfy beds. Well equipped kitchen.

What a wonderful place .. I cannot fault it at all .. all the facilities you need including comfy beds and powerful showers .. so restful and peaceful yet in easy reach of so many places .. thats if you want to venture out .. also just a lovely place to spend time in and relax .. with Allendale Town a short walk away which is simply charming! It was lovely to meet Richard on arriving and to get a look around at the ‘small plot big ideas’ and meet the all animals especially dogs Darcy and Jess! Our time was over all too quickly but O would return in a heart beat!♥️

Great location and barn. Perfect for a multi generational family get together (including a dog). The barn was exactly as described and well kitted out. The outside space is private and safe - the barbecue and hot tub are of a great standard. Excellent food at the Rose and Crown (but you must book). Plenty of places too visit....we had a great walk with two young children round High Force. Sarah is responsive and not "in your face". As good an Airbnb as we have been to for our annual clan gathering.

Property exactly as described. Instructions of where to park are obvious when you arrive. Will definitely stay again.

We booked our stay for a 30th birthday weekend with family, the house is stunning and has everything you need and more. Perfect for a celebration. The stay was perfect from start to finish, the only downside we would say was the 10am check out, which we feel is a bit too early especially when check in isn’t until 4pm - When asked for a later check out there was a charge even though there was nobody else due to stay that day. Despite this, we thoroughly enjoyed our weekend and would recommend Kimberley and her lovely home. Thank you for having us.

We stayed here for a break away from our home renovations and I can’t explain how peaceful and lovely it was. Fiona met us on arrival and was so helpful with showing us around, brought us some milk and was really friendly. The accommodation itself was beautiful with some stunning finishing touches, the sun beds under the pergola were a dream with a morning coffee and we enjoyed watching some DVDs and seeing all the animals and wildlife. We spent the day in the Yorkshire Dales which is always beautiful and we can’t wait to return to Fiona’s place and experience it all again!

Fantastic property, on the edge on a really quaint village. Property was as described, perfect size for a family for 4. The kids loved the little games section at the end of their bedroom. Great host, would highly recommend.

Really nice relaxing house - stylish, quiet and comfortable - would defiantly stay again!

What a fantastic cottage in the glorious countryside. There's plenty to do in the area or just relax and take in the expansive views.

This place is amazing such a beautiful location. Took our young daughter for a weekend and we had such a lovely stay. The horses are right in front of the bus which was beautiful to watch them out in the field. The family was very welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home. We also met some lovely people around the stables. Great communication before arrival to direct us there and some welcoming gifts which was very much appreciated. Lots of games and books on board to keep little ones entertained. The bus is fab just as described and has everything you need for a cozy get away. Was very warm and comfortable. You get a full view of the night sky from the bedrooms which was beautiful to see so many stars. Would definitely recommend this place it’s a great experience. We will 100% be back. Thank you for a lovely weekend in your fabulous moo view it definitely lives up to its name.

A little gem of an Airbnb our host was very helpful upon arrival and was really great with the hospitality. The Airbnb was spotless upon arrival and the host shared some great tips for the local area. It was really everything you could ask for in a short or long break, just wish we had booked a few more days!

Had such a relaxing stay at Hill House.Angela and Paul were attentive and helpful guests. The house it's self had all the amenities you would need, it felt like a home away from home. The village feels safe and everyone was really friendly. Would definitely come back and stay here.

Loved staying at this property, very inviting and homely. Beds are also really comfortable too. Surroundings are beautiful

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.

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!

Stayed there recently on the motorbikes and it was incredible, Andrew is a great host with very useful information leading up to the trip and very helpful during! The chapel was beyond expectations and all of us there were very happy, we didn't want to leave! A great place to go relax for a few days or just go out and enjoy the surroundings. Will be booking again where possible!

This was our second visit to Julie, It had lost none of its magic second time around.The accommodation is very clean and inviting,the outside space is lovely and relaxing...the views are stunning and all you can hear are the birds singing. We recommended staying here and will definitely be coming back in the future for a third visit. Thank you Julie for making us feel welcomed and for the tips on where to visit.

We had such a peaceful stay! Our dogs were obsessed with the goats, sheep and rabbits and had so much fun playing in the secure garden. The caravan itself was spacious, clean and had everything we needed for our 2 night stay. Plenty of towels provided, all information was provided ahead of time and again inside the caravan when we arrived. Very easy to find, secluded, and plenty of parking right beside the accommodation. We had a brief chat with Andy, who was lovely, upon arrival, but were left to our own devices with the offer to get in touch if we needed anything. Would highly recommend staying here & we’ll definitely be back! Thankyou ☺️

Beautiful countryside around and nice walks from the cottage along public footpaths through fields and woods. Nice the owner has left a history of the farm to read up. Beds very comfortable and kitchen well stocked.

We had a lovely stay! The place was tidy, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. We did experience a couple of minor issues, like some sockets not working and a brief problem with the hot water boiler. However, the host was extremely helpful and quick to respond, and everything was sorted out promptly. Really appreciated the support — it made all the difference. Would happily recommend this place to others!
