Grand Country Estate 3 Hot Tubs Sleeps 16 near Durham City & Bishop Auckland
The Estate Oakenshaw – Exclusive 6-Acre Retreat with 3 Hot Tubs & Play Park
A rare opportunity to rent an entire 6-acre private estate in County Durham, complete with two luxurious dwellings, three private hot tubs, a woodland play park, and sleeping space for up to 16 guests.
Oakenshaw Estate combines a stunning 1852 stone farmhouse and a contemporary Scandinavian-style log cabin — both offering warmth, style and total tranquillity. Perfect for group getaways, family celebrations, or multi-generational holidays, this exclusive-use retreat offers space, character and unforgettable surroundings.
The farmhouse, known as The Residence, features oak beams, a log burner, designer interiors and generous bedrooms. The log cabin adds a modern rustic twist, with open-plan living, floor-to-ceiling windows, and another hot tub overlooking the trees. Together, they deliver a setting that blends heritage and indulgence seamlessly.
Outdoors, enjoy three private hot tubs, landscaped gardens, nature trails and a play park with swings, climbing frame and sunken trampoline on a barked surface. A sculptural turret at the entrance pays homage to nearby Durham Castle, Auckland Castle, and the world-renowned Kynren show — all just a short drive away.
Highlights include:
• 🛌 Sleeps up to 16 across 2 beautiful crafted buildings
• 🛁 3 private hot tubs
• 🌳 Play park with swings, climbing frame & trampoline
• 🪵 Oak beams, wood floors, log burners & “wow” interiors
• 🏞️ 6-acre gated estate with lake, trees & wildlife
• 🏰 Minutes from Durham, Bishop Auckland & Kynren
• 🧺 Luxury welcome touches & thoughtful hosting
• 🚗 Free secure parking on site
Book the entire estate for your next celebration, reunion or rural escape — a hidden gem where space, story and soul come together.
