Student Life

Is your loved one studying at Newcastle University or Northumbria University?  They will undoubtedly be loving student life in Newcastle – but a family visit is definitely a highlight, even if they don’t tell you that!

Why not make a holiday or short break of it when visiting them in Newcastle?  Many parents and families of UK and International students stay with us while visiting them in Newcastle.  

Whether it’s their graduation, a surprise visit or some much needed family time, a stay at Burradon Farm is the ideal spot.

We offer a real home from home and are the perfect place for everyone to relax and enjoy catching up with each other.  Whether it’s cooking them a meal, doing a bit of washing, or just enjoying their company.

Our 4*-5* Gold self-catering accommodation is ideally located just on the edge of Newcastle.  With 12 properties to suit all group sizes we have plenty of options to choose from.

We are just a 20 minute drive or bus ride from town so it’s super easy to pick them up, drop them off or meet with them during your stay.  We’re on a direct bus route from Newcastle, making it easy for them to pop and see you too.

Family visits often involve treats!  There are an abundance of restaurants, cafes and local attractions where you can spend precious family time with each other.

Maybe they will take you to one of their student haunts, or you could try somewhere new together!  

If they are busy during the day, there is so much to keep you entertained in Newcastle or Northumberland.  Whether you fancy a bit of shopping, a beach or countryside walk or discovering a museum.  Take a look at our blog or Facebook page for more great ideas.

Don’t forget that dogs are welcome at Burradon Farm too – they are a huge part of the family and don’t want to miss out on student cuddles!

Visits during term time are usually off peak so you will benefit from lower rates and our minimum stay out of holiday periods is 3 nights. 

We look forward to welcoming you to Burradon Farm soon!
