Barn Owl Cottage is the ultimate luxury rural retreat, combining historic charm with stunning modern design. Spread over two storeys and fully dog friendly, it has been thoughtfully created to provide a truly memorable stay. On the ground floor, guests will find a stylish open-plan living space with a flicker-effect fire, Smart TV and comfortable seating, as well as a superbly equipped kitchen and dining area. A ground floor double bedroom offers convenience and comfort, while upstairs is a spectacular mezzanine double bedroom that defines the cottage’s unique character. Here, a freestanding slipper bath sits beside the bed, perfect for a romantic soak, alongside an elegant en-suite bathroom. To complete the experience, Barn Owl Cottage features its very own private indoor spa suite with a bubbling hot tub, robe hangers and a small breakfast bar. Guests can choose to soak in total privacy or open the large doors to enjoy fresh air and views of the night sky. Beyond the cottage, the shared courtyard patio provides outdoor seating areas and a pergola for relaxation, while the on-site communal sauna and ice plunge are available by arrangement, extending the spa experience further.
The location offers the best of both worlds – a peaceful rural setting with plenty to do nearby. Guests can explore bridleways, public footpaths and the famous C2C cycle route directly from the property, or head to Derwent Reservoir and Waterside Park for sailing, fishing, cycling and scenic trails.
Just a short distance away, Derwent Manor Hotel and Spa is ideal for dining or leisure facilities. For days out, you’re perfectly placed to discover the treasures of the Northeast. Visit the historic city of Durham, with its cathedral and riverside walks, or explore Barnard Castle and Raby Castle with its deer park. Families will love the award-winning Beamish Open Air Museum, only 13 miles away, while Newcastle and Gateshead are within 18 miles, offering vibrant shopping, dining and culture.
The wild beauty of Northumberland National Park and Hadrian’s Wall are just half an hour’s drive, with Northumberland’s dramatic coastline and castles reachable in under an hour. With a traditional pub just 30 yards away and shops and supermarkets in Consett, three miles from the cottages, convenience is close at hand. Whether you’re seeking romance, indulgence or outdoor adventure, Barn Owl Cottage offers a truly special countryside retreat, blending rustic charm with luxurious comfort.
