Sunday is a time to relax - before work on Monday Why not plan a holiday, or sort out where you are going to stay while working We have a range of cottages near Durham, Newcastle, Gateshead and Beamish perfect for that much needed holiday or a home from home, whilst working away from home. #cottages #lazysunday #planaholiday #homefromhome #workandtravel #workingawayfromhome #durham #newcastle #beamish #gateshead http://www.ridingfarmcottages.co.uk/our-cottages/

Getting Ready to welcome the first guest of 2021 - a gentleman working in Newcastle & Gateshead. Seems very odd , getting Beamish Cottage ready for a gentleman working in the area, he even rang me this morning to wish me a Happy New Year and was so relieved to be staying somewhere near work, but far enough away ! Don’t forget we are still open for work! http://www.ridingfarmcottages.co.uk/our-cottages/beamish-cottage/ #workaccomodation #staysafe #happynewyear #newcastle #gateshead

Last walk of 2020 A little chilly and still frozen underfoot So in true Frozen style we decided to let 2020 go ! Crop inspection, ice breaking and spotting wildlife Not what we had planned, but a great start to the celebrations to wave goodbye to 2020 and welcome 2021 Until we can see you in 2021, stay safe #lastwalk2020 #happy #happynewyear #stayincountry #staysafe
