The Stables is next door to the Hen House and is the ideal cottage for small families and couples. On the ground floor guests will find an open plan living space and fabulous views through the French doors. Right next door, but still private from each other, guests will find The Hen House. All on one level, compact and cosy, this little gem manages to pack everything in to a small amount of space, perfect for an Easter break, summer holiday or winter getaway. The Stables and The Hen House are both warm, welcoming and the ideal places to stay at any time of year.

Within an easy 15-minute drive, guests can take the opportunity to visit Bishop Auckland, and in particular, the amazing Kynren show during the summer months.

Kynren, an epic tale of England, has proved to be a historical extravaganza with a cast of over 1,000 people and set over 7. 5-acres of County Durham.
Perfect for walkers and cyclists, County Durham offers a plethora of walking routes along the river and through smaller villages, leading out towards Weardale, the Durham Dales and beyond.
