A very pleasant property on an active arable farm. - Latest Review of Bowes Barn A very pleasant property on an active arable farm located next door to other barn conversions. Property owners live in the adjacent farmhouse and are able to help with any problems, not we had any apart from what to feed the chickens It is in a very quiet area with plenty of footpaths to enable you to explore the countryside and watch the wildlife., loved the pheasants, owls and deer. It takes only 8 minutes to reach Beamish Museum nd very easy routes to go to Gateshead, Newcastle or Durham. Well worthy of another visit."
