Ebchester is a charming village perched on the edge of County Durham, a stone's throw away from the North Pennies Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village is home to a well-stocked village shop with all the essentials you need for a holiday and a pub, Derwent Walk Inn, for those wanting a hearty meal or refreshing pint. You'll also find Ebchester West Wood, a stunning semi-natural woodland home to a vast variety of wildlife, where you can take morning walks or runs, breathing in the fresh air. The forest borders the River Derwent where you'll find a small cascading fall and during warmer months why not try some paddleboarding? Venture out and find the stunning village of Beamish, home to the world-famous Beamish, the Living Museum of the North, an open-air museum. Here you'll find another pub to dine at or have a classic fish and chips. Further afield is the bustling city of Newcastle upon Tyne, with its wealth of eateries and cafes for a family meal or a light lunch. Visit the beautiful cathedral, one of the city's museums, and when the sun is shining head to North or South Shields for a beach day.

Chris and Lynne were very welcoming and helped make our stay a very enjoyable and relaxing one. We used the barn as a base to visit our daughter at university in Newcastle (20 min drive) and Northumbria. Housesteads, Sycamore Gap and Vindolanda are all worth a visit if you head up to Hadrianâs wall. Very enjoyable day at the seaside (Tynemouth), walking dog on the sandy beach and the castle was fascinating too. Disused railway line less than 500m from the cottage turning left and walking up shaw lane with great views over surrounding countryside. We would definitely consider returning to this lovely property. Ian, Jenny, Luke and Ted the dog

Our two dogs also had a very happy stay and appreciated the doggy treats and other extras. Chris and Lynne were super friendly and helpful hosts. We had a great time exploring the area with easy access to woodland walks and not far from amazing beaches (Druridge Bay is highly recommended for wide and empty sands with crashing waves). For an excellent local takeaway we can recommend Wok N Go Chinese only 5 minutes drive away - they even cater for vegans!
