About the host
Hosted by Debbie
Our lovely old barn was destroyed by the notorious Beast From The East in 2018 so we had her rebuilt as a gorgeous holiday cottage. Surrounded by farmland containing a variety of different sheep breeds, all looked after on our farm, a couple of fields away.
Why they chose this property
It may take you a while to get used to the silence and the dark skies! Stunning scenery, many local beauty spots, Teesdale is the hidden gem of the North.
What makes this property unique
Location, location, location! Rural and peaceful yet just 5 minutes drive from the famous market town of Barnard Castle. Check out our website for more information and images www.theoldhaybarn.co.uk
