About this property
Peaceful farm cottage with beams and log burner
Very comfortable 4-Star inspected cottage in tranquil, rural Teesdale, County Durham.
Swallows Nest sleeps 4 people with 2 bedrooms, both en-suite. It is predominantly on one level, as are the gardens and surrounding areas and has been awarded the disability grading of Assisted Wheelchair status by Visit England.
Wood beams, log fire, own gardens and free parking outside the door.
A restful break from everyday life in an area packed full of activities and sights with walking right outside your door.
If you want to stay on, or near the farm, we encourage you to feed the chickens and walk on Cockfield Fell, one of the 8 ancient common lands in England.
Along with lots of activities you can do yourself, we also subscribe to some local attractions such as Raby Castle, High Force, Hamsterley Forest, Auckland Castle, The Miners Art Gallery, The Spanish Gallery, Bishop Auckland Viewtower and The Faith Gallery. All of these are free during your stay. We also have discount codes available for Beamish Museum if you fancy a really immersive experience.
We are close to the city of Durham, Barnard Castle, Darlington and Bishop Auckland. We are also centrally located if you want to travel further afield to North Yorkshire, Northumberland and The Lake District.
If you want a restful break from everyday life in an area packed full of activities and sights then you have come to the right place. Walking, breathtaking scenery, adventure and activities we’ve got the lot!!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Host
Swallows Nest is a traditional one-storey cottage with beams and log burner. The cottage has its own gardens and dedicated parking right outside the door.
Low Lands Farm has been in our family for three generations. In total, it covers 150 acres with Cragg Wood and the River Gaunless running along the edge of the farm.
In May 2000 we renovated some disused barns to create the cottage and as it is mostly on one level it was renovated with guests who have mobility issues in mind.
We welcome our guest's participation especially during lambing time or to collect the fresh eggs from our small flock of hens.
We buy sheep in the Autumn and lamb in early Spring. Some of the sheep are sold and some are kept for the following year to maintain our own herd.
Cattle are our main concern and although it fluctuates throughout the year we normally have around 200 head. Calves are born during the Spring and Summer months.
As a farm, we understand that pets form an integral part of people's lives. Therefore, we welcome pets into Swallows Nest Cottage too.
