This self contained serviced apartment is located on the top floor of Burnhopeside Hall. It provides an independent living space which is quirky, with low ceilings.It contains two bedrooms, each with a double bed and traditional furniture. The main living room contains a galley kitchen,refrigerator & freezer,electric hob & oven, dining table and chairs and comfortable seating Freeview TV and wireless internet. The property is equipped as self catering accommodation. If used for a one night stay, breakfast provisions can be paced in the fridge for you in advance by arrangement. Further provisions can be arranged.
The bathroom is large with an original rolled top cast iron bath, washbasin and toilet.
Burnhopeside Hall is a GradeII* listed building of Historical interest, having been the home of William Hedley, Engineer. A working model of his "Puffing Billy" railway engine is at Beamish Museum (5 miles North). The original can be seen in the Science Museum in London.

The Country House provides a beautiful setting for a peaceful & relaxing stay for business or holiday travellers.It is surrounded by 18 acres of gardens and woodland, which merge with the Estate's farmland and woodland, providing 475 acres of private areas for walking and cycling and 3/4 mile of river.

The Farm rears outdoor free range pigs, chickens, ducks and geese. A Walled Garden built in 1893 provides produce for the house, so that most of what is provided in the house is home grown or reared. The property is heated by biomass boilers using wood chip, which is harvested from our own woodlands. The property is warm and comfortable throughout the year, with traditional open log fires in all downstairs rooms.

The four bedrooms are large and comfortable with super king double beds, traditional furniture and modern en-suite bathrooms. Breakfast is served in the dining room around a large circular table seating 8 people or can be enjoyed in your bedroom.

The top floor of the Hall offers a self catering apartment.

This is somewhere to stay when you want to escape to the country but not be too far from the town.

We are located 6.5 miles west of Durham City,a World Heritage Site and Newcastle & Gateshead are 16 miles north.They offer excellent restaurants,The Sage & Theatre Royal.Hadrian's Wall is an easy distance and there are a number of local golf courses in the surrounding area.

On the Estate, we can stable your horses, kennel your dogs and provide shooting days. A number of good hunting packs are within driving distance and on our doorstep. We can arrange walking with birds of prey.

We offer something rather different and want you to enjoy your stay.

Welcomed and at bome

The apartment was delightful, the bed sooo comfortable, Christine was so welcoming and helpful, especially with her recommendation of where to eat. The right to roam was refreshing and our dog was also made to feel welcome, not least from the resident canines!

A hidden gem.

Burnhopeside is just perfect, all the facilities you need for either a quiet weekend break or a larger family gathering. We never stay anywhere else, it feels like our home away from home.

An absolute gem tucked away from the world.....

This was our second visit to Burnhopeside and it was every bit as lovely as the first. We took the attic apartment which was as comfortable, tasteful, clean and well appointed as the hotel bedrooms. This one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. One feels immediately at home and the comfort and attention to detail is superb. The grounds are beautiful and the location is perfect for trips into Durham or for walks in the surrounding countryside. The fact it is dog-friendly is a huge bonus.

Enjoyable and quirky with such lovely service

Two adults and two teenage boys, we stayed 2 nights in the two bedroom apartment in the "roof" of the hall. Although we were warned to expect low ceilings, they were actually higher than expected. I am 5'2" and had no problems at all; both boys are taller than me by an inch or two and, other than the occasional "eaves" clash, they were fine. My husband is 6'4" - so had to remember to duck occasionally :p

A perfect visit

We were staying to attend our son’s graduation at Durham university and wanted a calm quite place to escape to during our three nights there. Christine couldn’t have been more welcoming and we were very pleased with the apartment we had on the top floor. Even the dogs made us feel welcome and home from home as we had left ours behind. Christine even booked a series of taxis for us so all our visits into the city were stress free.

A wonderful experience repeated

An absolute gem of a building delightfully furnished and in a lovely and easily accessible rural setting. The owner and her team could not have been more caring and helpful, and the breakfast was outstanding. Have visited several times and am always delighted by the quality of the experience.

We loved everything about our stay at Burnhopeside Hall.

We stayed in the beautiful self catering flat. It was spacious, comfortable and well equipped. We also had an excellent breakfast. The hall itself is an interesting building which has been lovingly and thoughtfully furnished and is set in lovely grounds. It’s a peaceful and relaxed place. Philip, our main contact, was very helpful.

My family is delighted to be back staying at Burnhopeside Hall.

The familiarity of the attic apartment, it’s comfort and that our dog can play in their garden with the resident dogs. It’s a perfect stopover for us.
