Hazel camping pod (pet friendly)

Liked: The Hazel pod was absolutely perfect. It was remote, peaceful, warm and the views were so beautiful. The pod had everything we needed on arrival, you really can’t ask for more from a pod. It was spotless on arrival and ticks every single box. It was also perfect our pup with lots of space outdoors to play. We all had an amazing time. Massive thank you to Sarah for being so kind and welcoming, we will absolutely be back.

Disliked: Absolutely nothing

Elder camping pod (no pets)

Liked: We loved the cabin! It was warm, beautifully equipped and in a gorgeous location. All the appliances and furniture were like new and very clean the water was hot and shower was excellent, we have a 5 and 8 year old and they were over the moon to find the complimentary swing ball and boules balls to keep them entertained. One of the farm owners, Sarah, was incredibly welcoming, she even invited the boys to come over to the barn and meet all of the new baby lambs! I would recommend in a heart beat

Elder camping pod (no pets)

Liked: My self and my partner loved how cosy, spacious and well equipped the Elder Pod was, it had everything we needed for our stay. It is situated on a working farm but is in a private/quiet location overlooking the sheep fields. We made use of the fire pit during our stay, it's very dark on a night at this location and on one night it was really clear allowing us to see the stars. Sarah and her family are really friendly and welcoming, allowing us to look around there shed and see their newborn lambs, we even got to see one being born! As it was spring there lambs everywhere which was lovely to see. We can't wait to return!

Oak camping pod (no pets)

Liked: Beautiful location overlooking a farmers field with sheep and a stunning sun rise to wake up to. Cabins very well presented and some fun outdoor games provided for kids. The fire pit with bbq grill was a very nice touch. Nice walk to the river, which my son loved throwing rocks into.

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.
