  • Family-oriented Co. Durham glampsite on the edge of Shildon
  • Walk to Locomotion railway museum in 20 minutes; Durham 25 mins' drive
  • Restaurant and fishing on site; private hot tub for each unit
Take it easy in the Co. Durham countryside – everything at Eden Grange Glamping has been set up with relaxing family breaks in mind. Whether you’re stopping over for a night to break up a journey on the A1(M) or using the place as a base for a longer stay, you’ll be made to feel very welcome at this comfortable site on the edge of Shildon. There’s a laidback rural atmosphere on site, with each of the glamping units surrounded by trees and overlooking lakes where you can go fishing. The centre of town is only just over a mile away, however, so you’ll be within easy reach of shops, places to eat and things to do (including the leisure centre, the heritage trail, walks in Hackworth Park and events at the civic hall or the local football club. You can also easily walk to Locomotion, part of the National Railway Museum, in about 20 minutes. If you don’t fancy heading into town, it’s handy to know that there’s also a restaurant on site, which serves up breakfasts and dinners that you can eat in or take back to your accommodation. You’ll have your own kitchen facilities too, so you’ll be able to conjure up your own meals if you prefer. The kitchen is just one of the facilities that’s included with the accommodation here – each one also has a proper bed, an ensuite bathroom, heating and bedding and towels provided. Outside is just as lovely – each unit has its own private outdoor space, so you’ll really feel able to relax out there. There’s outdoor seating, a firepit and (the ultimate luxury?) your own private hot tub.

Aira camping pod

Liked: The place is stunning , the views are breathtaking and the food you can purchase is above 5star ! The hot tub was nice and hot the whole time with great instructions , the shower was perfect and the bed was warm and cosy , the staff are very friendly and welcoming, you can buy wood for the fire pit so take marshmallows and sausages !. We will certainly be back again thank you.

Disliked: The tea tray was lacking , coffee was 3 in 1 sachet and there was no sugar for the tea , we left early and missed breakfast as it is only served at 10am and no sooner. Take your own brew kit.
