The Barn at Easington

The site was so beautiful, and easy walking to the coastal path. There’s a lovely covered outdoor space for rainy days (if not being used for workshops) and the owners were so kind and helpful. Highly recommend!

Greeted upon arrival and shown to our plot (campervan with electric hook-up) extremely helpful as it was raining and very cold.
Shown where everything was and no concerns raised.
The barn itself is beautiful 😍 to sit in it with a coffee in the morning looking out at the views is something to experience.
Will definitely be back again.

Nice site for the summer with sea view . toilets are clean

Site very open , when windy you know it's windy. Toilet cubicles are very small , you find it hard to wipe your ..... no hot water in toilets .
Expensive for what it is .

Exactly what we were looking for.

Fabulous friendly host,lovely little pod with everything you need,lovely walks

The track leading to it was really bad

A fabulous 2 night stay in the skylark caravan, booked as a base for visiting Beamish with family.
A peaceful off-grid site, with wheelbarrows provided for moving camping gear/luggage further away from the car park. Amazing views. The bedding was obviously good quality - comfortable, cosy and warm - well worth the extra cost rather than bringing our own. We only used the kitchen for basic breakfasts and snacks (soup/beans on toast, bacon sandwiches etc), but the microwave, toaster, hob, grill and oven - and provided cookware - are functional enough for more substantial meals. Washing up liquid etc provided, and some bits and pieces left in the cupboard from previous guests (we didn't use these as came prepared for full self-catering). Loved the fresh flowers.
The heaters (bedrooms/living area) were effective in taking the chill off in the evening/early morning, and coming in after an evening out - more than hot enough!
Plenty of books provided and scrabble and dominoes. (We did put the ornamental frog in a cupboard during our stay though!) We didn't use the skylark firepit or outdoor seating. The communal area for the workshops looked lovely and is obviously a bonus for campers when not being used for the workshops (would also love to be around to join in a workshop).
Yes (as per other reviews) the track to the site is a bit rough, but this is clearly described in the listing, so is to be expected, and it is far easier to find the site after the first time! (And easier to negotiate the track in the dark thanks to headlights).
Very thankful to the host for providing jump leads, and to a fellow guest for helping us out with their van this morning so we could get home.
Hoping to return to try out the goldfinch and/or curlew depending upon who is travelling, and to try the walk down to the beach, which we didn't have chance to do this time.
All in all, very peaceful and good value. Thank you. (Excited about the return visit with different people).

This isn't a "proper" dislike (in fact it's really an environmental "like", - why stop using something that works perfectly well?) - the skylark is an older style static caravan, so isn't double glazed, and the interior is in keeping with the age of the caravan (which does NOT make it uncomfortable at all). Not a problem at all for us, but some guests might find it cold or damp, or have other niggly issues if they are used to staying in modern caravans.
We couldn't get the heated towel rail or the bathroom door lock to work, but again, not a big deal.

spectacular view
peaceful site
very friendly hosts

Warm lodge in a great location, so peaceful.

An amazing site set down a country track which means you are completely away from traffic noise.
Very clean loo's and showers. Love the added touches of wild flowers in vases.

Bonus of a 10 minute walk through woods to the beach, very easy. 1/2 hour walk along the coastal path to Seaham for fish n chips.

Loved the amount of birds around the site, felt completely submerged in the countryside.
