Beautiful converted barn with everything you could need to a short stay. Nice and quiet, easy to find. Easy travelling distance to Durham.
Recommended farm shop unable to cater for gluten free options. Very little choice of dining in Consett.

The Byre was so peaceful. It's a beautiful place to stay.
Would highly recommend.
I have just had a hip replacement and struggled as the sofa is very low. Even sitting on some pillows we took I couldn't get up without help, also the shower cubicle could have done with a non-slip mat as it got very slippy and I was frightened of falling. I would bring one with me if I stayed again.

Firstly the barn is in a lovely quiet location, a courtyard of other similar buildings, safe parking & beautiful fields around with horses, just perfect.
The owner was also so helpful, prior to us arriving, going above and beyond.
We walked in & its exactly as the photos show, immaculate, modern & extremely comfortable. We were amazed at the “extras” in our opinion, she really has thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible & it’s a home away from home, she includes all cleaning material, dishwasher tabs, tea, coffee, condiments, fresh milk, chocolate eggs ( as we stayed near Easter time!) bubble bath, games, books, hairdryer, honestly everything you need to enjoy your stay, we were extremely grateful & loved our stay.
Whilst visiting the area we went to Durham which is nearby & used the park & ride facility & also visited Beamish, which is about 15mins away. A perfect weekend break away & this place is as good as it looks.. thank you x

All the facilities were lovely and really happy including the addition of the coffee maker, specialist teas and sweet treats left for me. The additions of bathroom extras were a delight too. 500% better than the one I decided not to stay at!
Would have preferred the duvet and pillow covers to be cotton but everything was amazing.

My daughter and I loved The Byre. It was just perfect - a beautifully renovated barn that was warm and cosy. It was one of the best and thoughtfully equipped properties I have stayed in. Lovely to be able to park directly outside. It was a great location - very close to Lanchester, where we have relatives, as well as being in an excellent position for sightseeing across the county. The property is great for couples or for those with a child. The double bed was very comfortable and I had the additional bed provided as I was staying with my daughter. Thank you to the lovely hosts.
Nothing - we loved all of it!

Lovely, gorgeous property. Really fantastic barn conversion. Myself and my partner had a great time staying here. Everything was perfect and we’ll definitely stay again!
Everything was great

Everything was very clean, modern and comfortable with everything we needed for a 4 night stay. We were impressed that the smallest things had been thought of such as providing dishwasher tablets and a range of different teas etc.
An opening window, rather than a door to the outside, in the bedroom would have preferred but as it was we managed fine with the fan provided.

Excellent location and wonderful first impression.
Mattress on bed was very soft and could feel springs.
Poor quality toilet rolls.
No kitchen cloths.
Tried to re-cycle but couldn’t find a green bin anywhere.

Well appointed property in great location. All the facilities that might be required were provided. Good wifi, and catch-up TV a bonus.
On lifting the lid, we discovered the toilet had not been cleaned (in what looked like a long time!). I won't go in to explicit detail, but it was disgusting. In hindsight, we should have called the owners, but after a long (5 hour) drive and hectic day when we'd eaten little, we weren't thinking straight and cleaned it ourselves. The rest of the property appeared spotless, so maybe it was an oversight. Or maybe the cleaner 'doesn't do toilets'. Either way, it ruined our impression of the property and spoiled our experience. The bed wasn't very comfortable, either.

The property was very clean and very well equipped. As we had a long journey, to be able to enter via a door code was very convenient. The WiFi was accessed very simply via a Q code. The location was great, all the roads around there give great views over the rolling countryside, yet the town of Consett was less than 2 miles away.

Location was great. House was bright and airy. Need to create a window for the bedroom for air , otherwise need to open door. Need a curtain or blind for arch window for privacy.

peaceful location. loads of parking, good quality fixtures and fittings, good waterfall shower and a bath, beautiful old building. Big flat screen tv.
nothing major but bed was very low if your mobility isn’t too good. The sink tap in the bathroom is a waterfall tap which if you turn on to high clears the sink edge and gets you in the groin so be warned 🤣

Beautiful area and property. Very quiet.
Excellent facilities.
The bed. My husband managed to sleep in it for all 3 nights of our stay but did not sleep well but one night was enough for me and I ended up sleeping on the huge chesterfield sofa. Bed was like a ground level futon. would strongly recommend that was changed for a proper height bed and decent mattress.

Quirky property in a lovely location, a good base for visiting numerous places.
Maybe some curtains at the kitchen end of the living area to provide privacy from the neighbours.

Excellent and up to date quality facilities in the property, TV with Netflix. Coffee, tea and sugar provided. There was tabs supplied for the Dishwasher and washing machine. Been able to exit from the other entrance to the site which had a far better view of traffic than the main entrance. Very quiet location.
Poor lighting for the car park and the archway to the property. Take a torch with you at night to get to and from the car park. Missed having a shelf for shampoo etc. in the shower.

Spacious, comfortable, well laid out and well equipped. Free Wi-fi connection good. Pleasant view into a well appointed courtyard. Location was very rural and quiet (can hear the sheep bleating!). Close to amenities in Consett.
Our stay was during extremely hot weather and keeping the apartment cool proved quite difficult.

All the facilities were exceptional. Location was good and quiet.
The lack of openable windows as there’re was only 1 small window in the kitchen as it did get quite warm on our return to the property later in the day.

I liked how we were told ahead of time where the keys would be so coordination did not need to be set up to hand over in person. This made the day of check-in a lot less stressful as we were able to pack up the car and head down once we were ready without rushing and knew we could get into the accommodation with no issues or fuss on the other end. Instructions were left for check-out also so we could leave once ready too.
Upon walking in, the place looks exactly as the pictures depict. Very clean and well equipped for a week's stay. The little window above the sink allows you to see where your car is parked which I liked. It is definitely a place you would have to drive to and drive out of for day visits.
We took day trips to Beamish Museum (15 min drive) and parked up at Heworth (30 min drive) and took the metro into Newcastle city centre for another day. Also, local supermarkets are a short 10 min drive away including ASDA, Aldi and Lidl.
Overall, a lovely getaway for couples who don't mind driving whilst away!
The only thing I could say is there were only curtains for 2/3 of the large windows on the front. And the window without was right next to the bedroom door. This meant the place felt a little exposed once dark out when wandering through.
However, the place faces onto an enclosed courtyard so not too bad.

Die gesamte Unterkunft war sehr gut, die Ausstattung mit ganz viel Liebe zum Detail, sogar ein 🎄 stand geschmückt in der Ecke. Es war Alles da, was man braucht. Parken direkt vor der Haustür , ein toller Farm Shop mit tollen, teils selbst hergestellten Produkten um die Ecke.
Lediglich im Bad fehlte eine Ablagemöglichkeit und für uns war das Bett etwas zu „wackelig“ aufgrund der großen Federn- aber das ist Geschmackssache.
Rundum ein toller, entspannter Aufenthalt mitten in der Natur- und ein super toller Sonnenaufgang gabs „on top“😀
