Pockerley Farm Cottages and Flint Mill Cottages

Under Construction

For the first time, visitors will be able to stay overnight at Beamish, offering a unique and immersive Georgian experience in farm buildings original to the Beamish site.

As well as enjoying historic food and drink, visitors will be able to stay overnight in farm buildings and cottages converted into period-style, self-catered accommodation.

The cottages will give weary travellers the chance to stay in carefully-restored original buildings which will feature items of furniture from the Georgian period – alongside modern facilities carefully incorporated into the period setting.

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, we revisited the overnight accommodation offer planned for the museum, with the Georgian coaching inn developments being put on hold.

Rhiannon Hiles, Beamish CEO, said: “This is an environmentally-friendly solution, developing existing buildings, and for the time being the footprint of the inn will remain within the fields below Pockerley and we will return this area to pasture, until such time in the future when we are able to revisit the plans.”

There will be two holiday lets available initially. A second row of cottages will also be adapted, allowing for further holiday lets, with one including a ground floor accessible bedroom and bathroom. We will keep everyone updated on progress and further information in due course.
