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.

The owners Lynne and Chris welcomed us when we arrived, lent us an umbrella and when my husband was unwell came out to where we were to support us getting back to the barn. They messaged every day to see how he was and offering to support in anyway they could. The barn is situated perfectly for great dog walks along the old railway line. Village shop opposite, pub within walking distance for a meal. The facilities in the barn had everything you needed. We will definitely be returning.

The property is of a high standard and four adults enjoyed a very comfortable week. The owners were very friendly and available when needed. We would recommend this property without hesitation.

Had four very pleasant nights in Barn2. The property was most welcoming - clean, warm and very peaceful. The beds and the sofas were most comfortable and the shower was such a delight I could have had three or four showers a day ! As a former teacher of history I was fascinated by the Roman remains in the garden and the wealth of industrial heritage in the locality. The village itself was a delight - friendly people, a great village store and excellent bus services. Thanks to Chris and Lynne for making our short stay so memorable - their friendly welcome and the lovely accommodation. Best of luck with the museum venture. Hope to be back again.
