The barn has a well-equipped kitchen, a toilet/shower wetroom with full disabled access, and a small dining area. The barn can sleep 4 upstairs in a communal bunk room (below) which can double as a family room, and 1 downstairs.

We have installed a wood-burning stove in the upstairs bunk room which can provide downstairs central heating, while hot water is also supplied by a solar panel. You can bring your own sleeping bags and towels, or for an additional cost we can provide bedding and towels. A cot and highchair can be provided free of charge if required.

There is an adjacent secure under-cover garage/cycle store. This has facilities for washing down muddy boots and equipment, and also houses the washing machine. At the south end of the camping barn there is a secluded outdoor sitting area which catches the sun at various time during the day depending on the time of year. We are keen gardeners and have created a number of raised beds around the courtyard and outdoor sitting areas. Although we are still planting these up, most beds already have changing colourful and fragant displays of flowers throughout the year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The barn enjoys good local amenities, including a very good local Co-op supermarket, two friendly pubs, and an excellent fish and chip shop. The Black Bull at the west end of the village is a real ale pub, with guest beers and a restaurant, while The Frosterley Inn at the east end of the village provides bar snacks. We are also close to the Weardale Railway and the village playground and playing field. All are within approximately 5 minutes walk. 

We are a non-smoking establishment. Assistance dogs are welcome, but otherwise we are unable to cater for pets. 

Car Parking 

There is parking for two family sized cars in the courtyard in front of the camping barn. If you are arriving by car, please use this parking space and try not to park on the main road as it is used by local residents. There is additional parking in the village car park only a short distance away.
