The Barn Oakenshaw

23/10/2026

🍸 Who needs to go out when you've got all this to yourselves?

Your own bar.
Your own pool table.
Your own arcade machine.
Your favourite people.

No waiting for taxis, no fighting for a table and no rushing home at closing time! 😂

Our Log Cabin was made for evenings like these.

And when the evening winds down? There's a hot tub waiting.

Who would be first behind the bar in your group? 🍹

🌧️ BUT WHAT IF IT RAINS?

Well…

This is County Durham. 😂

Fortunately, staying in at Oakenshaw doesn't necessarily mean sitting around wondering what to do.

In our Log Cabin you've got:
🎱 Pool table
👾 Retro arcade machine
📺 Huge 83" cinema TV
🍹 Your own private bar
🔥 Private wood-fired hot tub

Start a pool tournament.

Put a film on.

Order a takeaway.

Pour a drink.

Get in the hot tub in the rain.

And if the sun unexpectedly comes out?

We'll take that too. 😂

Sometimes doing absolutely nothing is exactly what a few days away are for.

✨ Special midweek offers available for stays of 2 nights or longer. We also offer interest free payment instalments, just ask.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WE COULD TELL YOU HOW LOVELY IT IS…

But we'd rather let our guests do it.

We can show you the properties.

We can tell you about the hot tubs, six acres, enormous beds, games, play park and countryside.

But it's the people who've actually stayed here who can tell you what an Oakenshaw break is really like.

For a small family-run business, every single one genuinely helps. ❤️

🍂 THIS is our kind of Friday night…

No traffic.

No taxi home.

No alarm tomorrow morning.

Just good food, a few drinks, people you actually want to spend time with and a wood-fired hot tub waiting outside. 🔥🥂

Autumn weekends were made for this.

What does your perfect Friday night away look like? 👇

🌿 WHAT DOES SIX ACRES ACTUALLY FEEL LIKE?

It's difficult to show in a photograph.

At Oakenshaw, it means waking up without a hotel car park outside your bedroom window.

It means space for the children to play.

Space to wander.

Space to sit outside with a coffee in the morning.

And space to come back to after a day exploring County Durham and feel like you're properly away from everything.

Yet Durham, Beamish, Bishop Auckland, Raby Castle, Hamsterley Forest and the Durham Dales are all there to explore.

Sometimes space and location are the luxury. 🌿

🥂 NO PLANS THIS WEEKEND?

How does a countryside escape with your favourite people sound?

Hot tubs, beautiful accommodation, your own space to unwind and plenty of opportunities to make memories.

We still have some availability for arrivals tomorrow, Friday 16th October.

Sometimes a spontaneous weekend away is exactly what's needed! 🍂

🎄 WHO'S HOSTING CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR?

Or perhaps the better question is…

Why does anybody have to host it at all?

Imagine getting the whole family together for Christmas — all staying in one place, with space to spread out, relax and actually enjoy a few days together.
No travelling between different houses. No designated driver. No rushing off home at the end of the evening.

The Estate Oakenshaw sleeps up to 16 guests, giving your group exclusive use of our private countryside estate.

🏡 Two beautiful homes
🔥 3 private wood-fired hot tubs
🎱 Pool table & retro arcade
📺 Huge 83" cinema TV
🍹 Private bar
🛝 Woodland play park & 14ft sunken trampoline
🌳 Six private acres

Spend Christmas together. Eat too much. Stay in your pyjamas. Watch Christmas films. Get in the hot tubs. Let the children run themselves ragged.

And best of all?

Nobody has to drive home afterwards. ❤️

🎄 We still have Christmas 2026 availability from 21st December.

One estate. One family. One Christmas together.

Once Christmas is booked, it's booked.
