Welcome to Gardenside Lodge — A Cosy, Dog-Friendly Retreat in the Durham Dales
Tucked away in our garden here in Low Etherley, Gardenside Lodge is a peaceful self-catering escape, perfect for exploring the North Pennines and Durham Dales.
We’re Glad and Kenny — lifelong locals who care deeply about this place, and we’re proud to share it with our guests. This isn’t just a holiday let — it’s part of our home, and we’ve created a space where you can truly unwind.
Whether you’re here for long walks, cycling adventures, or just some quiet time in the countryside, you’ll find a warm welcome waiting.
Come and make yourself at home.
Our Garden – Your Private Slice of Countryside
We’ve spent years tending this space — it’s our pride and joy.
Step outside and you might:
- Spot local wildlife
- Watch a proper Durham sunrise
- Soak up the fresh, quiet air
Guests often tell us it feels like a magical, tranquil escape.
We love hearing children laugh as they:
- Explore hidden corners
- Discover insects and birds
- Play safely in the enclosed space
- Make their own outdoor adventures
From Barnard Castle to Durham City, great days out are close by. But if it’s peace and quiet you’re after — you’ll find it right here.
Glad & Kenny
