We had a super two night stay at the Weardale Retreat. Carol communicated directions in advance and gave us a very warm welcome.  On arrival we were greeted to a huge bouquet of flowers, Prosecco and plenty of nice touches such as fluffy robes and slippers. The double bed was very comfortable and there was a plentiful supply of logs for the wood burner. The breakfast baskets were delicious and filled us up nicely for the day ahead. We had a fantastic time switching off from our chaotic lifestyle; relaxing to admire views and recharge batteries. Everywhere was immaculately clean and guests have private use of a hot tub and fire pit to toast the marshmallows provided. Carol recommended a visit to Hamsterley Forest which didn’t disappoint, plus a delicious meal at the local Italian restaurant.  The whole experience was amazing and it was such a nice peaceful get away! Honestly cannot recommend enough and encourage everyone to book in to experience this for themselves. Thanks Carol and John for your amazing hospitality, we are very grateful indeed.

Relaxing Retreat

We stayed in the shepherds hut for four nights it was  an amazing  place with beautiful views, it was spotlessly clan and had everything you needed for a short self catering stay. The wood fired hot tub was very easy to use and a great way to relax after a day out.we couldn’t fault it and would highly recommend it we also had a continental breakfast delivered to us one morning and it was wonderful and full of locally produced goodies

An amazing stay in the shepherds hut

We stayed at Newlands Hall farmhouse for 2 nights using a Buyagift voucher. We were made very welcome and shown to our room. The room was spotless and had a lovely view out to the garden and beyond. Two pieces of homemade cake had been left out for us (yummy ). Breakfast was a help yourself continental but we could have paid a little extra for a cooked breakfast .We enjoyed our break and would go again

A lovely break.

We stayed here while walking the Weardale Way.  The rooms were very roomy and clean, I especially enjoyed my bath after a long day’s walk!  Breakfast was plentiful and very good, including homemade bread and marmalade.  Thank you!

Very comfortable, friendly B&B. Rooms clean and fresh.
Breakfast was excellent, and Carol very obliging. A pretty view, nice garden and quiet spot to relax and unwind after a long day of walking in the rain. Thank you for for the stay. 

Newlands Hall B&B.

Lovely reception by Carol on arrival with afternoon tea (once you get past the friendly cows on the drive). 
Stunning views from the bedroom room and dinning room. 
Bedroom has all the essentials plus a few extras such as a decent size under counter fridge for milk walk and your own drinks. Also some homemade cookies left in the room on arrival which was a nice touch. 
Lovely walks nearby and Carol pointed out some other key places to visit during our stay which was great.  
Thank you for a great stay. 

Lovely welcoming country B&B

If you want to get away from it all I highly recommend Newlands Hall Farm. Had a warm welcome from Carol, the lovely proprietor even tho the weather was not :-) being woken to the sound of lambs bleating is my idea of happy x no road noise or light pollution just the occasional owl hoot! Was bliss x

Lovely relaxing break

My wife and I stayed at Newlands Farm on 14/15th November, and loved it.
Up a short windy drive to a busy working farm, directions to the Guesthouse car park are well displayed. Parking on clean gravel and Carol came out to meet us which we thought was a nice touch.
Our room was warm, spotless, and had all mod cons expected these days. Comfy bed, comfy pillows, comfy sofa, TV, En suite and even a small fridge into which a jug of fresh milk is placed daily.
USB charger points on the wall, and free WiFi.
Considering this farm is quite way out in the country, these were all welcome.
Carol is a lovely friendly lady, and she cooks a mean breakfast too. Nothing was too much trouble, and we not only thoroughly recommend Newlands Hall to others, but will have no hesitation in going there again.
Thanks Carol. A lovely stay. 
5 Stars all the way from us. 
K & T. 


Comfortable and Excellent. 

Room was clean with a nice view over countryside. Having arrived late in the day we found the room to be cold! 
 Breakfast is served on a side plate not a full sized plate and having requested an additiinal sausage I was told that it wasn't possible as Carol only took 1 sausage per person out of the freezer each night. Since the sausages were so small we asked for 2 each the following morning, however only 1 sausage appeared on each of our plates the following morning & since Carol appeared quite abrupt we thought best not to mention it, or the bacon which was rock hard and cold!  There was fruit available if you liked pineapple or tinned grapefruit.  The breakfast was a big let down & for £10pp we expected more.  I've read in a few other reviews how unfriendly the atmosphere is & sadly we would have to agree.  Carol virtually ran down the corridor demanding the £20 supplement for our Saturday night stay as we shouted goodbye.  We
paid promptly however Carol got quite irate & down right rude as she literally demanded the paper confirmation of our booking!  We felt held to ransom as she rushed off to return with her laptop & search for a receipt and threatened to invoice us for the full amount of our stay if she didn't receive a voucher from us within 2 days! I must add at this point that Carol did let slip that our booking number was sufficient however after a bad experience with previous guests she wanted a paper confirmation!  It was a very uncomfortable experience and we were glad to get away!  I received a email later saying she had found the voucher so we didn't need to send it! 
The whole experience was that of penny pinching.!  It's November, it's cold, we need heating.  It's a farmhouse B & B and we expected a farmhouse breakfast, not a lla carte which translated on this occasion to pay a lot & get a little!  Charging a £20 supplement for a Saturday night is ridiculous as you get Nothing extra than on any other night! If you want a warm friendly atmosphere with a good hearty breakfast then go elsewhere!  We won't be returning!

Stay Elsewhere!

My wife and I had a 2 night stay here and would definitely recommend it. The farmhouse is set in beautiful countryside- we had a great walk to Wolsingham and back. Our room was very comfortable, with a fantastic view. Breakfast was excellent. Carol was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Wearside is a lovely area and this is a good base from which to explore it. We also visited Durham, an easy drive away. There are several good pubs with food in Wolsingham. Thanks, Carol, for a very nice short break.
