North East England Sustainable Tourism Award Silver 2008
Type: Self-Catering
The award-winning East Briscoe Farm Cottages are set in a beautiful, peaceful, south-facing position on a 14 acre wooded riverside estate.
By high Pennine moorland and traditional farmland meadows, East Briscoe offers a wealth of interest for naturalists, cyclists and walkers. Guests can enjoy nature walks around the estate, fishing on the estate and in nearby reservoirs, free-range eggs from the resident hens and seasonal food from the vegetable garden.
The 5 cottages are decorated in a comfortable style to a high standard and are very well equipped. One cottage is accessible for wheelchair users.
The cottages also form an ideal base for touring the North of England with the Lake District, Hadrian's Wall and York all within 90 minutes drive. Pets are welcome in 3 of the cottages.
Winner of Northumbria self-catering of the year and a Durham County Environment Award.
