WELCOME TO RUNA FARM
Runa Farm, is an intensely rustic inspired hotel, country pub and wedding venue quite unlike any other, combining natural rural beauty with cool Balearic vibes to deliver something wholly unique, as its guests will discover…

In brief, it was our plan to create an individual and special destination for “boho, honest and earthy” experiences with the farm and its produce at the very heart.

The result is a loveable, laid-back and luxurious County Durham country retreat complete with standout spaces and suites, cool glamping and field-to-fork dining, inviting people to gather, feast, stay, and enjoy every element of its feelgood spirit and endless appeal.

    We stumbled across the restaurant whilst staying in the area and i am so glad we did. The venue is lovely and the staff were beyond helpful and friendly for our anniversary meal. The food and drinks were lovely and fresh and they had great vegan options for myself. Hidden gem - would 100% recommend for dinner

    We returned to Runa Farm for our wedding anniversary. We booked into the smithy for a meal - the food was amazing and staff were polite and helpful as always. We are never disappointed when we come to Runa/The Smithy. We will definitely be back again.
