  • Peaceful farm glamping in the County Durham countryside
  • A quarter of an hour's drive from Seaham beach or Durham
  • Furnished shepherd's huts on a working sheep farm
Eastfield Farm Shepherd's Huts is a small-scale site in the grounds of East Field Farm, a rural spot within a quarter of an hour's drive of Durham city centre or the coast at Seaham, where there is a mix of sand and shingle. Surrounded by fields filled with grazing sheep and far-reaching rural views, this cosy option is close to lots of quiet local footpaths and country walks. Each hut is an attractive wooden structure with private outdoor space and comfortable interiors. An ensuite shower and toilet are included in the unit, as are bedding, towels, tea and coffee making facilities, crockery and cutlery and a microwave. The site is roughly half a mile from Haswell village centre, where local amenities like takeaways, a pharmacy, a pub and a newsagent's can be found. Please note that site does not allow pets because of its location on a working sheep farm.

The Leaping Lamb shepherd's hut (four person)

Liked: What a lovely hidden gem! We stayed here whilst visiting for Seaglass hunting at Seaham which was only 10 minutes drive away. The beautiful hut was spotless and had everything we needed and more. The double bed was so comfortable. Three of us stayed here and it didn’t feel cramped at any point. Stunning views outside of the hut, perfect for a bbq on the evening watching the sunset. Linda and Jimmy were so welcoming, it felt like we were staying with family :) Linda even sent us home with some of her homegrown tomatoes which was very kind. We will definitely stay again and 100% recommend to anyone considering booking! :)

Beautiful location, very private but not too far away from local village or bus routes (non driver) plenty of walks to explore. Décor was beautiful and very cozy. Welcoming from moment I collected the keys 😁 We will definitely be back

Honey Pot shepherd's hut (two person)

Liked: We had a lovlely experience here for a long weekend in July. The host was very welcoming and accomodating, as well as being knowledgeable with recommendations for local walks and pubs (go to the blue house for some good pub grub!). The hut is nicely decorated and very cosy, with excellent surroundings. I'd strongly recommend.
