Nestled on a working livestock farm resting close by to the market town of Wolsingham, amid the serene landscape of the North Pennines AONB, this charming barn conversion offers a tranquil retreat. Surrounded by rolling hills and picturesque countryside, it provides an ideal base for exploring the beauty of the region, offering superb walks from the front door.

For a taste of city life, Newcastle (23 miles) is within reach, boasting vibrant cultural attractions and lively nightlife. Alternatively, a leisurely day trip to the coast offers sandy beaches and breathtaking views. Explore Seaham's rugged coastline (30 miles), unwind in the seaside charm of Whitley Bay (36 miles), or venture further to Northumberland's captivating landscapes. After a day of exploration, return to the comfort of the barn and perhaps venture to one of the nearby pubs for a hearty meal, or conveniently pick up supplies at the local supermarket.

 Enjoy an idyllic retreat at this converted stone barn nestled on a serene working farm. As you drive up the long private lane, leave the hustle and bustle behind and immerse yourself in the tranquil rural surroundings. Step out of your car and breathe in the fresh country air, feeling instantly at peace. The cottage exudes charm with its quirky layout and traditional features, including rustic stone walls and beamed ceilings. Designed upside down, the living space on the first floor captures the breathtaking rural landscape from every window. In the inviting open-plan living area a fully equipped kitchen also awaits, ready for you to create delicious home-cooked meals. Gather around the dining table, with panoramic views enhancing every mealtime, before sinking into the plush reclining sofa, warmed by the crackling heat from the wood burner. Cosy up and choose a movie to watch on the Smart TV for a relaxing evening in. When it's time to retire for the night, head down the stairs to your comfortable bedroom, each boasting its own en-suite for added convenience. Choose between a snug double or a spacious super-king zip-and-link bed, providing flexible sleeping arrangements to suit your needs.

Wake up refreshed and step outside onto the patio, where a peaceful bench invites you to sip your morning brew while admiring the enchanting view of the farm animals grazing nearby. Embrace the tranquillity and beauty of rural life in this wonderful, converted barn.

We had a lovely stay at The Stables. The house is lovely! It has brilliant views from the windows and has an excellent dog walk straight from the door. The kitchen is fab, with plenty of food prep area and the equipment in the kitchen is of very good quality. Ailsa is the loveliest lady you could ever meet. I would definitely stay there again if weRead more are holidaying in that area. Thank you for a lovely stay Ailsa. x Hide
