Description

Situated in the peaceful village of Escomb 

The Gables is a small but perfectly formed Pod Camping site and fully licensed Wedding Venue perfect for that quiet serene break or intimate Wedding ceremony.

Situated in the peaceful village of Escomb, just 30 minutes drive from the city of Durham, our ethos is to provide a relaxing retreat setting for guests to unwind and switch off from the hussle and bustle of daily life.

We have 3 luxury camping Pods available, as well as the Clocktower cabin and Pear Tree Cottage, all accommodating a maximum of 2 adults.

Eco-friendly  
Each Pod and the Clocktower cabin have their own eco-friendly wood-fired hot tub, a perfect antidote to the stresses of daily life.

A great way to unwind, with the crackle of the wood fire and soothing sensation of deep hot water providing a unique and relaxing experience. They are locally sourced from thelogcompany.com

Optional Extras

An Afternoon Tea Experience can be booked in advance and is served in our beautiful Tipi (2 hour experience)

Stone-baked pizzas are individually prepared and cooked in our wood fired pizza oven and are available to pre-order at booking or in advance along with other tasty food (These can be added as an additional item when making your booking) Pizzas available Fridays & Saturdays only and cost £14.50 each.

We are a licensed premise and have a horse box bar onsite that can be opened for our guests.

We also now have our lovely serenity area with a pond and a bridge over to the new serenity room where you can relax, dine and listen to the waterfall in the pond.

Why not relax in our newly installed Sauna, to complete the whole relaxing retreat getaway experience.

    Just got back from our 3rd trip to the Gables Pod Camping. Already booked for next year. Sue and Mike really great and friendly host's. They are more like old friends . They have created such a beautiful and peaceful retreat. It was a shame this year about the weather, as the past 2 year's there was a heat wave on. But it still didn't stop us having fun . Chilling out in the hot tub, playing cards and enjoying their own made pizzas and, Mike's lovely cocktails. Keep up the good work, and thanks for a enjoyable time. Looking forward to seeing you both next year. Christine and David Hartley

    This is a really special venue. Went for a wedding and it could not have been better. The attention to detail was superb and the owners worked their socks off to give all the guest the best time. The afternoon tea was sensational, (and I have eaten tea in a lot of very smart places) this ranked as one of, if not, the best. Could not recommend The Gables more highly.

    Colin and I stayed 2 nights at The Gables and had a fantastic time. The setting is just gorgeous,so relaxing. The bed was super comfortable, the the pod was spotlessly clean. Sue could not have been more helpful and obliging. We were served a delicious breakfast,everything so fresh and tasty! We can't wait until our next stay. Thank you.

    My husband, Tony, booked the cottage for a couple of nights for a belated birthday present for me and also our 4th Wedding Anniversary. We had a fabulous time, the hot tub was great and nothing was too much trouble for Sue, who is a first class host. The whole site is beautiful and welcoming. We will definitely be back again and look forward to staying in one of the pods next time. Thank you Sue, look forward to seeing you again. Carol Lister
