About this lodge
Our beautiful garden lodge is located in Low Etherley which allows for easy access to local attractions such as Beamish Open Air Museum, Barnard Castle, High Force and Auckland Castle as well the fantastic Kynren show as well as many others. Situated on the B6282, you have easy access to the main A1 should you wish to visit Newcastle or Durham City Centre.
Sitting in our lovely garden lodge you will be surrounded by stunning garden views which can cheer up the most miserable of weather. If the sun is shining you have the unique opportunity to enjoy a relaxing glass of wine in the folly, or by the garden pond (we advise caution with children, however this is also surrounded by wrought iron fencing for improved safety). Who knows you may even spot an owl or woodpecker, the garden is a paradise for birds.
Should you wish to explore the local area we can advise on walks such as Low Barns Nature Reserve or a visit to Escomb to see the oldest Saxon church.
Furthermore, the proximity to notable dark sky sites such as Bollihope, Bowlees Visitor Centre, Hamsterley Forest and High Force adds to the allure of the location.
Bollihope, with its remote location and minimal artificial lighting, offers an exceptional vantage point for witnessing the brilliance of the night sky.
With the holiday home located in close proximity to these dark sky friendly sites, guests have the opportunity to enjoy unparalleled stargazing experiences during their stay.
Whether it's setting up telescopes or binoculars in the garden or taking a short trip to Bowlees or Hamsterley Forest for a night of celestial observation, the holiday home offers a perfect base for astronomy enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
High Force, famed for its spectacular waterfall and rugged landscape, provides an equally captivating setting for stargazing adventures.

We had the privilege of staying at Glad and Kens fantastic property last week. The property was immaculately clean, very well maintained and the garden was beautifully crafted . Glad and Ken were amazing hosts and were always available for help and support. Their property is highly recommended and we will certainly be back !

The lodge was perfect. Spotlessly clean and pretty and everything you could need. However what made our holiday absolutely perfect was the garden the lodge is set in. Stunningly beautiful, magical grounds that you could see from all sides of the lodge. With a folly perfect for an outdoor fire and BBQ. Central to all of the North East and Durham attractions. I have been twice now and can’t wait to go again. Magical!

Wow - what a brilliant stay!
Not only was the property uniquely amazing, but Kenny and Glad are also the most fantastic hosts.
In fact I've never stayed in a place like it. My family (and energetic young dog) loved their garden. We even roasted marshmallows at the fireplace in the outdoor castle folly on our last night, in the moonlight! it was magical.
And the location is great too. We took the family on a beautiful countryside walk for a Sunday pub lunch before heading into Bishop Auckland (which is packed full of history and character).
So if you're heading to the North East - definitely stay here!

We had a fabulous time in this wonderful accommodation.
The hosts Glad and Kenny are indescribably great people, so friendly, so accommodating and helpful.
The Lodge is beautifully illustrated by the pictures. The garden is a very special treasure, but the living area is also superbe and very cozy. The other rooms are small and functional, but all thoughtfully furnished.
The location is convenient: trips to Durham, the Lake District, the North Yorkshire Moors, Rielvaux Abbey, Scarborough and Whitby are all within easy reach. Edinborough was too far for us.
We'll probably have to come back for that...
