Inside, you’ll find a double bedroom, a twin room, and a pull-out sofa bed in the lounge.

Just minutes from the park is the award-winning Beamish Museum – a living history experience with working trams, old-fashioned shops, and historic villages.

Nature lovers can enjoy walks along the Causey Arch, the world’s oldest surviving railway bridge, or visit the nearby Tanfield Railway for a scenic steam train ride through the countryside. Beamish Woods and nearby trails also offer excellent opportunities for dog walking, birdwatching, and photography.

Durham City, with its awe-inspiring cathedral, castle, and cobbled streets, is just a 20-minute drive away, while Newcastle upon Tyne offers culture, shopping, and vibrant nightlife. For coastal days out, the Northumberland coastline is within easy reach, offering golden beaches and dramatic castles.
