Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Woodcroft Farm is a mile outside the village of Stanhope, in Weardale, part of the North Pennines AONB, a short drive from the historic cathedral city of Durham.

We may sound biased when we say "we live in one of the most beautiful places on earth"

There are not many places you can find total peace and quiet with fresh air to breath & only birds song to hear. Come & drink in the country air & sit out late under the stars with zero light pollution in your very own private garden.

The space
The accommodation is all on one floor with an open plan modern living and dining area. The cottage is light and airy with high ceilings and wooden beams. The family bathroom has a large bath with an overhead shower.

The double bedroom is light and bright with meadow views. The twin room has two single beds and room for a cot or an extra bed for a small child, allowing a family of five to visit. The twin room has twinkling night lights that look like stars, especially for the children, as there are no street lights.

On a clear night the dark sky displays a wonderful view of the milky way. Outside there is a private walled garden and patio dining area. The cottage is surrounded by open fields with a variety of views throughout the farming season.

Guest access
The cottage stands in its own private walled garden with a large wooden entrance gate. Its a safe environment for small children to play with a patio on one side of the cottage and lawn on the other.

Other things to note
