This comfortable retreat sleeps up to six guests (three adults and three children) and is perfect for families, couples or friends looking to explore the beauty and heritage of County Durham.
Inside, you’ll find a double bedroom, a twin room, and a pull-out sofa bed in the lounge. The open-plan living area features a fully equipped kitchen, dining space, and a cosy seating area with a TV – ideal for relaxing after a day of adventure. With central heating and double glazing, Forest Sherman is a reliable and snug base all year round. Set within Beamish Holiday Park, guests can enjoy a peaceful woodland setting with great on-site facilities.
The Bobby Shafto pub is just a short stroll from your door, offering drinks, food, and a warm community feel. There’s also a play park for children and regular entertainment like bingo nights, quiz evenings, and occasional live music, adding a friendly, sociable vibe to your stay. Just minutes from the park is the award-winning Beamish Museum – a living history experience with working trams, old-fashioned shops, and historic villages.
Nature lovers can enjoy walks along the Causey Arch, the world’s oldest surviving railway bridge, or visit the nearby Tanfield Railway for a scenic steam train ride through the countryside. Beamish Woods and nearby trails also offer excellent opportunities for dog walking, birdwatching, and photography.
Durham City, with its awe-inspiring cathedral, castle, and cobbled streets, is just a 20-minute drive away, while Newcastle upon Tyne offers culture, shopping, and vibrant nightlife. For coastal days out, the Northumberland coastline is within easy reach, offering golden beaches and dramatic castles. Whether you’re exploring the past, enjoying the peaceful outdoors, or simply relaxing in a trusted and homely setting, Forest Sherman offers a memorable North East getaway."
