We have converted our 18th century character barn - in the heart of Frosterley village in beautiful Weardale - into a fully modernised self-catering holiday cottage. Originally set up as a camping barn, we've upgraded it to provide high quality 3-star studio accommodation for two.  Upstairs, in the former hayloft, there is a double bed, sofa, armchairs, and a woodburning stove, while downstairs there is a well equipped kitchen, comfortable dining area, and spacious bathroom/wetroom. 

We welcome cyclists and walkers.  A cot and highchair can be provided on request.  One disabled visitor can be accommodated downstairs by converting the dining room couch into a proper full-sized single bed.  Off road parking is available.

We provide an excellent base for visiting a whole range of places in the North East, including Durham, Newcastle, Alnwick, Holy Island, Hamsterley Forest, Kielder Water and Forest Park, and the beautiful Northumberland coast, as well as many regional attractions like Beamish Open Air Museum, Killhope Mine, and the National Railway Museum.  You'll find information and links on our Attractions page.

For cyclists, Cromer House Barn has its own secure bicycle store in the adjacent garage.  We're on the North Pennines Wheels to the Wild cycle route and very close to both the C2C cycle route and the Walney to Wear and Whitby route.  The garage also provides a drying space for hanging wet walking and cycling gear. 

The barn has its own secluded garden where you can relax, dine or enjoy a leisurely drink.  It enjoys good local amenities - all within a few minutes walk - including a very good local Co-op supermarket, two pubs, an excellent fish and chip shop, and is close to the Weardale Railway. 

The accommodation has been awarded mobility access level 2 for its specialist facilities. Details can be found on our Accessibility page.
