Aisling House

​Aisling House. A cosy 1890's three-bedroom retreat, a home with a story to tell.

 

Welcome to our cosy two-bedroom retreat, a home with a story to tell. Built in 1890 and transformed into the village bank in 1905, this charming stone house still carries little hints of its past—thick walls, deep windows and the feel of a place that’s seen more than a century of life. Nestled at the head of the River Wear in the peaceful village of Wearhead, the house sits right where the river begins its long journey to the sea. Step outside and you’re surrounded by open moorland, gentle hills and that wonderful quiet you only find in the Durham Dales. Fun fact: Wearhead is one of the very first places where the River Wear appears above ground—its source is just a short stroll away. From here, the river flows almost 60 miles before reaching Sunderland and meeting the North Sea. Whether you’re here for walking, exploring, or simply unwinding, our little historic hideaway is the perfect base. Let the slow pace and fresh upland air welcome you in.
