About the area

Situated in an elevated position and commanding spectacular views over the Derwent Valley these 19th century stone cottages are tastefully equipped and furnished accommodations of the very highest standard in a secluded and peaceful setting being positioned off road along private tracks.

Holiday makers have access to the surrounding land which includes 900 acres of private woodland with forest paths. This is not only an excellent location for walkers but also provides a good base for touring this scenic area.

Weardale, Teesedale and the northernmost Yorkshire Dales are within easy reach whilst 11 miles to the north the market town of Hexham with it's notable Abbey is the gateway to Hadrian's Wall country. The ancient estate village of Blanchland, once owned by Lord Crewe is 2 miles, a monastery was established here in 1175, the monks wore white habits and it is probable that from them the district received it's name of Blanchland or Whiteland.

The Cathedral City of Durham is 20 miles, Newcastle and the Metro Centre a similar distance and the award winning open air museum at Beamish is 15 miles.The Derwent Reservoir with watersport facilities is close by. Championship golf course is approx. 5 miles away.

Short Breaks will be charged at two thirds of the weekly price
