Those keen for a peaceful escape to the countryside, look no further than this charming, family-friendly home-from-home nestled in Bolam; uncover the hidden treasures of County Durham from the doorstep.
The roaring wood burner nestled inside an impressive feature stone fireplace welcomes tired travellers to unwind weary walking muscles amongst the peaceful ambience of the homely lounge. Toes will be kept toasty by the delightful underfloor heating in the kitchen/diner; the high vaulted ceiling here creates a sense of space whilst the farmhouse-style decor perfectly reflects the rich heritage that surrounds you. Upstairs you’ll find one king-size zip-and-link bedroom which can be made up as a twin on request, and one welcoming double. Both bedrooms feature ambient exposed stonework and beams and are served by a well-appointed bathroom and separate shower room. Outside, unwind to the sound of birdsong as you dine alfresco on the front patio, overlooking the large lawn, which can be enclosed using the gates. There’s also a patio at the rear of the cottage and private parking for three cars on the driveway.
The idyllic village of Bolam tucked away in County Durham is a playground for keen outdoor explorers, home to various picturesque country lanes and peaceful footpaths to discover on foot or two wheels. Head to the bustling town of Barnard Castle (11.5 miles) to browse its fabulous independent shops, bars and restaurants showcasing this area’s best local produce before exploring its iconic medieval fortress. Sitting at the heart of Durham''s World Heritage Site, dive into hundreds of years of history with a guided tour of the magnificent Durham Castle (26.5 miles) before heading into the city centre to enjoy a peaceful stroll beside the river.
