Holly

Our two glamping lodges are tucked away over the hill offering: seclusion, peace and tranquility, stunning views and access for the agile to our two acre wood and stream. Both lodges have a wood fired hot tub.

Whisk your loved one away to Holly for a romantic escape in the countryside with a deep two person wood fired hot tub. 

Holly is set in stunning countryside and teaming with wildlife.  Take a gentle stroll across the fields or venture into the 2 acre wood to enjoy a picnic by the stream.

With the historic towns of Barnard Castle, Bishop Auckland and Durham within reach you can take a trip to take in beautiful architecture, do a little shopping or have a evening meal in one of the bistros or bars.

Staying closer to home in the evening?  Use your kitchen to cook your meals or head out to the firepit and BBQ area and eat al fresco surrounded by stunning sceanery.

After dinner sit out on the front decking with a good book and a glass of your favourite tipple or stoke up the Wood Fired Hot Tub and soak away the evening beneath the stars.

Finally slip under the organic hypoallergenic duvet and sink into the memory foam mattress for a good nights rest.

The colours are stunning in the autumn and winter night skies are breathtaking. 

Our glamping lodges are fully insulated and equipped with a hot air heater so it's super cosy.   And of course, there's the hot tub which creates a fantastic contrast to the cool air!  The colours are stunning in the autumn and the winter night skies are breath taking, making this an all-year round romantic getaway. 
 
 

Both lodges have their own wood fired hot tubs.
