Wolsingham 2.8 miles. This is an outstanding, stone-built, semi-detached cottage set 900 feet up in the Hamsterley area, close to Wolsingham. Blackburn Cottage Barn offers impressive holiday accommodation, ideal for extended families and groups of friends looking to discover this delightful area together. With the benefit of its wonderful location within the North Pennines AONB, this cottage perches regally above the glorious surrounding countryside. Bright and airy throughout, and offering spectacular views, guests will love to relax and unwind. The attractive sitting room has lovely French doors overlooking the patio, whilst the kitchen/diner provides an excellent space to gather together over dinner and plan the forthcoming activities.
