Guests can enjoy a trip back in time and stay in the self-catering cottages, which are located in the museum’s stunning 1820s Landscape, in renovated original buildings.
Potter’s Cottage
Drover’s Rest
Enjoy a trip back in time and stay in the Georgian-style holiday cottages, located in our stunning 1820s Landscape, in renovated original buildings.
The self-catering accommodation, Potter’s Cottage and Drover’s Rest, has been curated by the museum’s team, featuring furniture and items from its collection (along with modern conveniences for modern-day guests!).
Stays in the accommodation will include admission to the museum during opening hours (check website for opening dates).
The cosy cottages reflect Beamish’s immersive experience and are designed to make guests feel as though they’ve stepped back into Georgian times. The traditional furniture and décor have been carefully chosen by the museum team, while there are also concealed modern appliances and a TV, along with a bathroom with free-standing bath. The cottages have a garden with stunning views over the Georgian landscape, and are located near the new Georgian tavern and pottery, and Pockerley Old Hall.
The cottages can each accommodate up to two guests and Potter’s Cottage is dog-friendly.
The overnight accommodation is part of the Remaking Beamish project, which included a 1950s Town, 1950s Farm and additions to the Georgian landscape. The Remaking Beamish project is supported by an £11.8million grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, with thanks to National Lottery players.
