Hamsterley Forest is one of the north’s most popular destinations for cyclists too, and is only 4 miles away. This impressive 2000-hectare site covers some of the most beautiful countryside and offers various bike trails of different difficulties and plenty of walks for guests of all abilities including the very popular Gruffalo Trail for children.

Well appointed cottage, great for two couples. Located on the outskirts of Bishop Auckland on a working farm, but within easy reach of the necessary amenities. Would book again if heading to that area.

Wonderful time spent (again) in The Granary visiting the local area. Easy to get to, great accessibility to both local shopping and things to do and see. Plenty options for walking the dogs too. We will be back at some point either to stay in The Granary (again) or The Barn (again!)….
