Old Hall Cottages - Hall Farm Cottage

Hall Farm Cottage is a converted barn, 500 years old, standing alone with countryside views across its private grounds. The single bedroom has a kingsize bed and an ensuite with both bath and shower. Downstairs, an open-plan living space combines a sitting area with a wood-burning stove, a dining zone, and a kitchen fitted with electric cooking, dishwasher, fridge-freezer and microwave—everything needed to cook properly or simply reheat. Freeview TV is available if you want it. Wi-Fi, electricity, bed linen and towels are all included, as is the initial fuel for the woodburner.

The garden is enclosed, with patio seating, furniture and a barbecue. The private hot tub is the main draw for most guests. Parking fits two cars. The property is no-smoking. From here, Durham city centre is a 15-minute drive, with its railway station and historic architecture. Bishop Auckland is equally close. Nearby attractions include Raby Castle, Bowes Museum, and access to the Durham Dales for walking and cycling. A pub and restaurant are half a mile away; shops are two miles. This suits couples seeking seclusion on a countryside site with no passing traffic, where bird and wildlife watching is possible straight from the door.
