  • Luxury cabins featured on Robson Green's Weekend Escapes
  • Hamsterley Forest 20 minutes’ drive; Durham 35 minutes
  • Firepit, fully equipped kitchen and ensuite shower room
For a taste of a simpler life (but not so simple that you’d have to forgo any luxuries, of course…), you can take yourself on a glamping break to Woodcroft Farm, a five-minute drive from the County Durham villages of Frosterley and Stanhope, in the North Pennines National Landscape. At this traditional hill livestock farm (run by the same family since 1947), you’ll be staying in a luxury cabin with a blond-wood interior that gives it a modern and clean Scandinavian vibe. Cosy and cleverly designed, the accommodation has a comfy bed and ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower and heated towel rail. (By the way, there’s no need to weigh yourself down with bed linen and towels either, as you can hire them on site.) The kitchenette comes with all you might need to keep your family fed. Alternatively, you can start the firepit (provided) and devour your meals alfresco. Having said that, though, you’re meant to be on holiday, right? So you might just want to hit one of several local pubs for a home-made meal. The site owners will be happy to help with suggestions on the best walks, starting with the Weardale Way, which passes right through the farm. Or you can drive to Slitt Wood (15 minutes’ drive), a former mining area that’s now been given over to nature, with small waterfalls and wooded trails where you might spot redstarts and dippers. For those who are into angling, the site has its own stretch of private fishing on the River Wear (a licence is required), and there are also several well-stocked lakes in the vicinity, such as Derwent Reservoir Fisheries (20 minutes).

Oak camping pod (no pets)

Liked We’ve just spent a full week at Woodcroft Farm and honestly, we didn’t want to leave.

The location is absolutely stunning, surrounded by beautiful countryside, fresh air, amazing views and the kind of peace and quiet that makes you instantly slow down and relax.

The accommodation was fantastic, clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a really enjoyable stay. It genuinely felt like a home from home, only with much better views!

Waking up to the countryside, hearing the sheep and cows and being surrounded by nature made the whole week feel like a proper escape from everyday life.

The whole experience was made even better by the warm welcome and friendliness of Sarah at Woodcroft Farm. Nothing felt like too much trouble, and you could tell that they genuinely care about their guests having a great stay.

A week went far too quickly, and by the time we were leaving we already booked to come back. Woodcroft Farm is one of those places where you arrive as a guest and leave wishing you could stay a little longer.

If you’re looking for somewhere peaceful, beautiful and genuinely relaxing, I couldn’t recommend Woodcroft Farm highly enough.

Disliked Having to leave was the only downside to this property. If we could move the whole location then we would.

Local attractions

If you’re itching to hurl yourself down a hill on your mountain bike, Hamsterley Forest (20 minutes’ drive) is the place to go and get muddy. There are routes for most abilities here, from (relatively) gentle off-road tracks for less experienced riders to technically demanding black trails. The North Pennines have dark sky status, and you can make the most of the night sky at Grassholme Observatory (half an hour). This facility on the banks of Grassholme Reservoir holds regular events that start with an informative talk and conclude with a look through powerful telescopes. Stretching along the River Wear, the university city of Durham (35 minutes) is known for its medieval cathedral, home to splendid stained-glass windows and Harry Potter filming locations. For a breather with a scenic view of the cathedral, head to Crook Hall Gardens.
