The accommodations were GORGEOUS and were in the BEST spot. There was so much to walk to including stores, bars, restaurants, and row boats that you row yourself!

The property features garden views and is 18 km from Utilita Arena and 18 km from Newcastle Train Station. Offering free WiFi throughout the property, the non-smoking campground has a sauna.

It even has a large modern shower. Hidden away was a pull down comfy double mattress. It must have great insulation because when it rained it I couldn’t hear it and felt warm and cozy.

    Perfect 4 night stay for a family of 3 with everything we needed, including tea, coffee and cookies, and food for breakfast. Our host went out of her way to make our stay comfortable, including providing the special bread and milk we prefer. The bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds, and the living area, kitchen and bathroom were ideal for 3 people. The quiet village location was delightful whilst being very convenient for visiting Durham by car or bus. We took our dog, who enjoyed local walks. Our host was friendly and welcoming.

    Shincliffe is clearly a lovely village and the pub is in a great location. It was a lovely and quiet night, the room itself seemed clean, it was nice and warm, and being able to park outside was really convenient. The pub itself looks lovely through the window - just a shame it was closed.

    The site was small, tidy and fairly quiet. Holiday home was clean and cared for, large tv, cooker and microwave. Beds were comfy. Essentials of tea, coffee,bread, milk and eggs were provided which were welcome as no shops on site or nearby.. Lovely walk down Shotton bank (left out of main gate) and through tunnel to Castle Eden Dene nature reserve where we saw a variety of wild flowers and some deer.
