Lapwing Cottage Kibblesworth

Lapwing Cottage is on our farm in Kibblesworth. It's a bungalow, so everything's on one level. It's just for two people, one bedroom, one bathroom. It's got a 4 Star rating, which really just means it's been recently renovated and is well equipped.

The cottage is at the end of a quiet lane. You're right in the middle of the farm, so it's peaceful. You can walk straight out onto the farm tracks. We've got about 200 acres.

Inside, it's all open plan. There's a kitchen area, a sofa space, and the bedroom is through an archway. It's wheelchair accessible and has grab rails in the shower. There's parking right outside and we've put in an electric vehicle charger.

You've got a private patio with a BBQ. It looks out over the fields. The garden isn't fenced off from the farm, so we can't take dogs, I'm afraid.

For facilities, it's got a washing machine, dishwasher, WiFi, and all bedding and towels are included. We've got a cot and highchair if you need them.

The nearest shop and a pub that does food are about two miles away, in the village.

Beamish Museum is only ten minutes up the road. It's a big open-air museum showing what life was like around here a hundred years ago. It's a good day out. Durham is about twenty minutes' drive. The cathedral is the main thing to see there. You can walk along the river.

Newcastle city centre is about twenty minutes the other way. That's where you'll find the big shops, the Sage music hall, and the Baltic art gallery.

If you want to go walking, the Durham Dales are half an hour away. For the coast and castles, Northumberland is under an hour's drive. Hadrian's Wall is about the same.
