Barn vacation rentals in County Durham

Lovely accommodation and great host. We very much appreciated the spacious house plus the animals on the farm and local wildlife. Caroline was was very welcoming and offered useful suggestions for things to do and ways to get about.

Lovely little spot. Beautiful surrounds just outside of town. Would recommend and looking forward to staying again.

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

Two families with dogs and children and the cottage was great! Plenty of space, big kitchen well stocked with equipment and we arrived to tea, milk and biscuits. Plenty of communication from the host and we made full use of the grounds and play room. Location was great, plenty of walks from the property and the local amenities had everything we needed. Great stay!! Thank you x

What a fantastic stay in beautiful surroundings , there is lots to see and do nearby and we will definitely be returning , it has a walled garden which is lovely and a sun trap , Our dog did manage to jump the wall but he is very bouncy and this by no way made a difference to our stay as the garden backs on to fields and a track Graham was great and came to meet us in check in and was able to recommend things to do and contactable if we needed him

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!♥️

Ralph Lodge at Hillside was the perfect location to host our nana's 90th birthday celebration. Julie and David were very responsive and helpful, and the house was exactly as the pictures show. The house is all on one floor which was perfect for us! All amenities you could need are provided (fully stocked kitchen, hairdryers, toilet roll, kitchen roll, hand soap, dishwasher tabs, dish soap etc), which some places are very stingy about! there's also a gorgeous welcome hamper which was such a beautiful touch wish we'd have booked for a few extra days!

We had a lovely weekend as a group of friends here for the bank holiday. The house had everything we needed, the outside space was gorgeous and hot tub very spacious. Elizabeth and the property manager were both very responsive and helpful - resolving an issue very quickly while we were there. Thanks for having us :)

The place was spotless couldn't fault me and my girlfriend loved and didn't want to leve . We could feed the goats and the sheep as was tubs of food left to do so realy quite and peaceful sitting out on the veranda having a nice little drink enjoying the view. Would definitely recommend it and we will bookk again in the future 👍🏻

Absolutely loved our stay at the Barn. The hosts thought of everything and more to make our stay comfortable and memorable. The views from the hot tub are amazing and the cottage itself is really well finished. We would definitely book again without hesitation. Thank you for a an amazing stay and being there if we needed anything. We even offered to strip the bed and take the rubbish down to the bins but they insisted they would do it. Fantastic hosts and it shows with how well the cottage is set out and all its amenities.

A lovely character property in beautiful quiet surroundings. It's fairly compact but had everything we needed as a couple on a short break. The milk, juice, eggs left by the host was much appreciated, a lovely touch. The bed was extremely comfortable. Local pub was fully booked for dinner so worth booking ahead, but the Fox & Hounds 2 miles away was a good find in another beautiful village, the scenery in the area is gorgeous.

Really nice place. Well equipped. Lovely village

Beautifully furnished barn. Smelt amazing. Easy check in. Peaceful surroundings.

A beautiful, private location with plenty of space and everything we needed for a family with young children. The house was clean and beds were comfortable too!

Great location with both Newcastle and Durham within easy reach plus loads of lovely walks right on the doorstep. Ideal for visiting these cities and also for taking the dogs on long and interesting countryside walks. Well equipped and comfortable accommodation with both Louise and Angus helpful and friendly hosts. Spot on.

Communication with Stephen and Heather was really good and they were very responsive. Before we arrived they told us about a local power cut (which was speedily resolved) and they maintained contact throughout by use of the telephone in the barn. It was well equipped and matched our expectations fully. The only minor downside was the lack of WiFi or any kind of mobile signal - but this did not detract from the lovely stay we had with our dog, Sam. We will definitely return!

Great accommodation. Very spacious and clean.

Thank you very much for a wonderful stay. We had such a lovely time and adoredthe house and setting. The children really enjoyed the paddock. We hope to return one day!

clean and pretty cottage, there was good communication and we had a pleasant stay with waking up to the morning sun. John was very kind, would love to come back!

We had a fabulous long weekend at River Run Cottage. We loved the view of the river and bird watching from the conservatory. The whole place was comfortable and really well equipped, there was nothing we wanted that we couldn’t find, they’d thought of everything. We enjoyed trips to recently newly developed Raby Castle, Low Force and High Force and thoroughly enjoyed the stunning scenery all around, wonderful to explore an area that we didn’t know at all. We were blessed with hot and sunny weather, this meant we need to manage the heat inside the house and may be a good tip for others. We closed the door between the conservatory and the house and drew all of the curtains during the day on this south facing property. When we returned after our day out the house was lovely and cool. We’d definitely recommend River Run cottage, it’s a fabulous place to stay.

Debi and Stuart’s accommodation was stunning with beautiful views to match. We felt so at home and everything was in walking distance. We were so lucky to have beautiful weather so we loved being outside in the spacious garden and enjoying the hot tub. Also special touches were made in the lodge as it was my step Dads birthday which I was truly grateful for. We will most definitely be coming back. Thanks again.

We absolutely loved this place and we will most definitely be back again! A perfect break away!
