    Chris was an excellent host and was always available if needed. Would recommend to anyone looking to get away for some peace and quiet with space for the dog and a fully enclosed garden area. Hopefully be back if we are back in the north east.

  • "Amazing property, fantastic hot tub with lovely views."

    Our second time staying at one of Chris’s cottages, both places are great with everything you need there. Attention to detail was spot on, from the towels provided, ample toilet rolls, etc. - most holiday cottages lack these so these little extras really set this property apart. High end and upmarket cottage, you can tell no expense was spared. We’ll be back again next year thanks!

  • "A glorious house for five adults."

    The views were amazing. The area around the house was lovely and quiet. More instructions in the house folder about how the heating is timed and recycling bins would be useful.

  • "Our property was stunning, with lots of space for 5 of us and 2 dogs."

    So close to Durham and Beamish we would highly recommend. Whoever bags the main bedroom is on for a treat with a stunning floor to ceiling wall of windows with views over the fields. The other 2 bedrooms were also lovely each having their own shower rooms. The owners were also very helpful and accomodating.

    This was our second visit to Witton Farm and it won’t be the last. We cannot praise the owners high enough. They are so nice and friendly and make you extremely welcome. There is everything you could conceivably need in the house it is so well appointed they have thought of absolutely everything. So as someone once said ….we will be back !

  • "We were very happy with our stay, a few minor issues which we did report back to the owner."

    Nothing of significance that spoilt our week. The bedroom with the large bath was very warm and few windows could be opened. We bought a fan to help keep it cool. We did have a particularly warm week. Hot tub excellent. Fantastic kitchen and lovely enclosed grass area for the dogs. Good walks from the doorstep. Two local pubs. Travellers Rest was good for food, Glendenning Arms for drinkers. Both welcome dogs. Best to get the bus into Durham, 10 mins and half hourly service most times. Lanchester worth a visit. Excellent food at the Kings Head. Beamish museum, 25 mins by car, is a must and prepare to be there for the day. We hope to return again to this property, or one of the others on this excellent complex.

    All the equipment we needed to cook too, and a lovely space to live in both inside and outside. Loved the hot tub too, but most of all the views, the tranquil location and the beautiful animals! All the fixtures and fittings are of the highest quality, really amazing home from home. The only slight downside was that in the two bedrooms of a similar size the bathrooms smelt 'eggy' almost like a sulpher like smell. Is it worth looking at the drains maybe?

The property

This luxurious holiday home, High Church Hill, is situated on a farm in Witton Gilbert, Northumberland.

The converted former grain store provides the perfect place to enjoy the great outdoors with the family, within easy reach of the North Pennines, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

After parking up in one of the off-road spaces, take in your marvellous countryside location, with views of the rolling hills beyond.

Make your way inside to find a beautifully decorated open-plan living space, where everything you need can be found at your fingertips!

Make your way over to the contemporary, well-equipped kitchen, a space that is superbly fitted for any culinary task, owing to its range of integrated appliances, such as a dishwasher and wine chiller.

After the chef of the group has prepared a mouthwatering meal, enjoy it around the breakfast bar as a quick treat before heading out, or as a sit-down affair, over a glass of wine at the nearby dining table.

In the evening, kick back and unwind in the fabulous sitting area, where chic seating rests in front of a flatscreen TV; switch on the electric fire for extra warmth!

As the day winds to a close, ascend the stairs to find three excellent bedrooms, the first of which is a light and airy king-size, thanks to the floor-length windows and vaulted ceilings; this magnificent space opens out to an en-suite area, where leisurely soaks amongst the vista can be enjoyed in the amazing freestanding bath.

Two further bedrooms can be found close by, both of which feature a king-size bed and enjoy access to their own en-suite bathrooms.

Concluding the property's interior is an additional cloakroom, perfect for avoiding those morning queues!

A highlight of the property is its landscaped garden, where a hot tub welcomes you with a relaxing soak at the end of a day packed with excursions.

The local village of Witton Gilbert has a variety of eateries, including The Travellers Rest, a pub serving up hearty meals, as well as a convenience store, so you'll be well-catered to throughout your stay; additionally, the Malton Picnic Area, Diggerland, and the historic house and gardens of Ushaw are all close by.

Continue to Durham, where you'll find the attractions of Durham Castle and Durham Cathedral, as well as the renowned Oriental Museum, 10-hectare Botanic Garden, and the River Wear, where you can enjoy idyllic, riverside strolls.

Spend some time in Chester-le-Street, a market town with numerous historic buildings, including St Michael's Church, and beautiful green areas, like Riverside Park and Lumley Park.

For additional city fun, visit Newcastle, a place boasting a plethora of activities for all ages; alternatively, for some outdoor pursuits, visit the North Pennines AONB, which has abundance of hikes and cycling routes, or travel to the coastal towns of Sunderland or Whitley Bay to enjoy seaside escapades.
