Why Stay in One of Our Bardon Mill Holiday Cottages?
This isn’t a destination filled with noise, shops, or crowds. It’s for travellers who seek space, silence, and something raw and real. That’s what our holiday cottages in Bardon Mill offer; thoughtful places to stay in a setting that doesn’t ask for much, except that you slow down and look around.
- Right Where You Want to Be: Our cottages are close to local treasures like Vindolanda, The Sill, and the Sycamore Gap, while still tucked far enough away that the only sounds you’ll hear are the wind in the trees and the distant call of a curlew.
- Distinctive Stays: Choose from a converted barn with original beams, a cosy stone-built terraced cottage with a log fire, or a dog-friendly retreat with panoramic countryside views.
- Grounded in Nature: Step straight from your front door into wide fields, ancient woodlands, and Roman paths. This is countryside living, no filters required.
- For Walkers, Wanderers, and Stargazers: Whether you’re here to hike, write, recharge, or watch the stars from a Dark Sky Park, Bardon Mill will welcome you in its own quiet way.
