Luxury glamping pods on a farm with amazing Durham Dales views
A half-hour’s drive to Durham, and 35 minutes to High Force Waterfall
Well-equipped, repurposed railway wagons, with woodland walks on site

How about a camping break with spectacular Durham Dales views? High Farm Holiday Park might well be the spot for you, a scenic, family- and dog-friendly glamping site utilising repurposed railway wagons – each one found around the local area and completely refurbished into cute and cosy pods decked out with stylish wooden interiors. Set in the County Durham countryside on a family-run farm, the site also features developing woodland and wetlands with loads of amazing wildlife, and plenty of mown walkways for you to explore your surroundings. An on-site café, shop and board game library are also all available for your use. Each railway wagon has ensuite facilities, including a shower, loo and wash basin, and they are kitted out with a double bed, smart TV, table and chairs, plus a kitchenette area with fridge, oven and everything you need to cook up a feast. Best of all, they come with a spacious, private decking area where you can kick back and admire your gorgeous surroundings. Open all year, the site is close to the market town of Bishop Auckland (10 minutes’ drive), with its wide range of shops, restaurants and pubs, as well as the woodland walks and art trails in Hamsterley Forest (half an hour).

Liked: A beautiful well maintained site with outstanding views to open countryside. The site was small and exceptionally peaceful with well maintained landscapes and touring pitches. The onsite facilities were immaculate. Shower and toilet facilities were very clean and easily accessible. The paddocks was an added bonus with an array of different animals that the children thoroughly enjoyed. The owners were so kind and helpful and would often engage you in conversation. Whilst viewing the animals staff were enthusiastic and informative. The cafe looked lovely we did not visit this during our stay this time. We would definately recommend a visit.

Disliked: Nothing to add. Completely satisfied.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review! It's great to hear the children loved the paddocks and that our staff made your stay enjoyable. We appreciate your recommendation and hope you get to visit the cafe next time. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon!

Liked: Quiet peaceful caravan park in beautiful surroundings. Modern clean toilet and shower block, there was also a washing machine and dryer.The Curlew Cafe/bar was very popular and there was a quiz on one of the nights we were there.

Liked: Very peaceful . Lovely views . Jacky , Amy , Glynn and Simon all go out of their way to make your stay special . Spotless toilet and shower block . The Curlew Cafe is really cosy with a good menu , well worth a visit . Weather wasn’t the best and the animal paddocks were closed and the play park was waterlogged . But that was no fault of the owners . You can’t predict the weather ! It’s still a lovely campsite for a relaxing stay .

Disliked: Nothing to dislike ( apart from the weather )

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for being our guests and for taking the time to leave your review. It was a pleasure to host your stay. We are very disappointed to not have the animal paddocks open yet. For our animals welfare the ground conditions need to be much drier. Next time you visit we hope you all can see them enjoying their beautiful outdoor spaces.
