The Orchards- A comfortable base, visit family and remote work in the North East

Welcome to The Orchards!

Imagine having your own comfortable home to return to after a day exploring, visiting family, attending an event, or simply enjoying some time away.

The Orchards is situated in the heart of Pelton village, surrounded by the beautiful County Durham countryside. Set within a peaceful residential neighbourhood, it offers the best of both worlds: the open feel and character of the countryside, together with the convenience of being part of a welcoming, lived-in village.

You'll have the space and privacy of your own home, with local amenities nearby and the surrounding countryside providing a lovely backdrop to your stay.

Settle in and feel at home.

The house has been thoughtfully prepared to give you a comfortable place to relax and enjoy your time away.

Start your morning with a cup of tea or coffee before heading out for the day, prepare a meal in the well-equipped kitchen, or come back in the evening and unwind in the comfortable living space.

Whether you're travelling as a couple, with family, for work, or to visit friends and relatives, there is room to relax and enjoy your stay at your own pace.

For families travelling with little ones, we provide a baby cot and highchair, helping to make travelling with young children a little easier. During warmer weather, portable fans are also available to help keep the bedrooms comfortable.

A wonderful base for exploring

The Orchards is particularly well placed for Chester-le-Street and the surrounding area, while Durham is also within easy reach.

It's a convenient base for a family day at Beamish Museum, exploring County Durham or attending events in and around Chester-le-Street. Cricket fans will also find Chester-le-Street Cricket Club conveniently accessible from the house.

After a busy day, you can return to Pelton, leave the day behind and enjoy the comfort of having your own home to come back to.

Private parking and convenient EV charging

Arriving by car is easy, with Ample parking available at the back of the property, giving you the freedom to come and go without having to search for a parking space.

For guests travelling with an electric vehicle, an EV charging station is approximately a 2-minute walk from the house, making charging convenient during your stay.

A peaceful place to come home to

The Pelton House gives you the opportunity to enjoy the countryside while still being part of a residential village. You can spend your days exploring, visiting local attractions or attending events, then return to a comfortable home where you can slow down and enjoy your evening.

We take pride in preparing the house carefully for every arrival, with your comfort and guest experience at the heart of what we do.

Whether you're visiting for a family day at Beamish, a cricket match in Chester-le-Street, work, a visit with loved ones or simply a few days exploring County Durham, The Orchards is a place to settle in, relax and enjoy your stay.

Arrive, settle in and make yourself at home.
