Thankful Thursday - The Latest Review of Millers Barn - The perfect retreat and getaway. “The perfect retreat and getaway. Myself, my parents and their retriever Harry loved our 5 day stay. Louise was an excellent host. She helped with our needs and situated us perfectly For my father’s mobility issues and health. It made the holiday all the more relaxing and stress free. The delicious homemade cake and eggs on arrival were very much appreciated and the cottage itself was 5*. The decor was beautiful and it was exceptionally clean and well presented. We enjoyed the cosy evenings in and the location was lovely and quiet. There is plenty of parking on site. We loved meeting “biscuit” the little farm doggy who is super friendly and we enjoyed feeding the chickens our left overs. It is a great base to explore the North East. Beamish open air museum is recommended and close by. Also a meal in the shepherd & shepherdess pub nearby is fabulous value for money and very tasty. Durham Cathedral was another lovely trip out and a local park and ride was useful if you want to avoid inner city parking and systems. Thank you Louise and the rest of the team for your hospitality and use of the lovely cottage. I would definitely recommend and rebook. Ideal for couples and families.” http://www.ridingfarmcottages.co.uk/our-cottages/millers-barn/ #review #millersbarn #beamishmuseum #beamish #durham #durham #durhamcathedral #shortbreak

What a sporty weekend we have had ! What sport do you like taking part in or watching at the weekend ? We have have had, from cycling, tennis, rowing and of course the Great North Run Let’s take cycling first, we have lots of cycling routes around the farm, but nothing compares to Friday and the Tour of Britain - very exciting Tennis, what a nail biting performance, even got the farmer off his tractor to watch Rowing, well a weekend wouldn’t be a weekend without a spot of rowing Last but not least the Great North Run, we had regular guests, new guests staying with us, family and friends competing in the run - well done everyone.
