Location description
Beamish has easy access to the A1, which will take you further north to Alnwick & the Heritage Coast, where a day can be spent exploring the many historic castles and friendly villages set amongst unspoilt golden sandy beaches. Not far away is the MetroCentre - one of the largest shopping centres in Europe. For cricket fans, Durham County Cricket Club’s ground, ’The Riverside’, is a short drive away at Chester-le-Street. The city of Durham with its lovely Cathedral and river walks should not be missed. Beamish Museum, the open-air ’Living Museum of the North’ recreates life in the North East over various points in history, including a working coal mine, village, farm and tram system. The Beamish Valley is one of the most important archaeological landscapes in England. A picturesque river setting, it boasts country inns and gastro pubs such as The Black Horse serving home cooked food. A 2 minute drive away you will find Tanfield Railway the world’s oldest working railway & engine shed.
Directions
Follow the A1(M) until you reach the turn off for Chester-le-Street. At the roundabout take the road sign-posted A693 for Stanley and the Beamish Museum. Take this road, and head for Stanley. After crossing two roundabouts, you will come across a third, roundabout where the signs for Beamish Museum tell you to turn off to the right - take this turn.
Just in front of the arched entrance to the museum, there is a left turn, which you must take. Keep on this road down into the bottom of the valley, past a high wall on your left and through a very sharp left- hand turn, past the Coppy Lodge on your right, until you arrive at a 'T' junction, with a hump-backed bridge to the left. Turn right at this junction, the road goes up then levels out and then up and levels out again. You will now see The Black Horse public house on your right set back from the road down a short lane.
Turn right into the Black Horse and then turn right and continue down to the bottom of the Car Park, you will see a small track leading down the hill. Continue down this track until you reach the bottom and you will see Huckleberry Cottage on your right.

Amazing - Country Cottage with every modern conveinence
The pictures for this cottage do not do it justice, my partner and I arrived at the Cottage and were very amazed. The cottage is set within a minutes's walk of the delightful Black Horse Pub, where you can always pop to for amazing locally sourced food if you can't face cooking yourself. However with the beautiful Range cooker, hot pot and fondue set you really can't resisit catering for yourself! The cottage's classic stone floor is cosily heated with underfloor heating and their is a roaring fire in the living room. The beautifl sun room conservatory is ideal for eating your dinner whilst taking is peaceful views of the surrounding hills. The bedrooms are tastefully decorated with really comfortable beds and the master bedroom even has a plasma TV on the wall. Their is wifi throughout the cottage and there are games and a large TV in the country classic master living room. We really enjoyed our stay here and will be returning next year, I'm even booking a 3 night stay for my parents as a Xmas gift! I cannot speak highly enough about Huckleberry cottage, my partner and I loved it! Only 15 minutes (Ł15 taxi!) to Newcastle & 25 to Tynemouth too so a perfect little location!
