The Old School, Durham

The Old School7 bedrooms, Sleeps 15 + 1 Baby.

A former village school turned roomy holiday house, this is the sort of place that works well for a full-scale family get-together or a friends’ walking weekend, with space for 15 across 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The extra living room doubles as a games room with a pool table, so larger groups can spread out rather than compete for one sofa, and there’s a separate dining room for proper shared meals. Two bedrooms have en-suites, while the main bedroom also enjoys views to the south.

The garden adds more communal space, with an enclosed patio, barbecue and room to sit out, and the house is detached, which helps it feel like a destination in its own right. It stands just off the front street in Frosterley, in the North Pennines, with a pub within 1 mile and countryside around it suited to walking and cycling. Practical touches matter with a group this size too: there’s a utility room, parking for several cars, and the house welcomes up to 2 pets.
