Free Respite Care ~
In 2006 we purchased and opened some holiday homes which are situated at Cragside caravan park, Eastgate near Stanhope in Weardale, which is a place of outstanding beauty with lovely countryside surroundings, running rivers and waterfalls onsite.
This is where cancer patients, the terminally ill and their families can go to for respite care completely free of charge.
Each caravan has its own decking area with outdoor table and chairs where you can sit and soak in the beautiful scenery and atmosphere.
There is also a country pub/hotel called the Cross Keys within a few minutes’ walking distance from the site which has wheelchair access, a silver service restaurant attached and a beer garden at the rear with a running river view and access for parking if needed.
Both of our holiday homes are six berth and are well equipped with everything you generally need, from cleaning materials to toiletries, satellite TV along with board games to play, books to read and even films to watch.
If anyone outside of Emmanuel House would like to make arrangements to visit and use our holiday homes for a holiday or a weekend break you will need to be referred to us by your local Macmillan nurse, doctor or other member of the medical profession.

A perfect place for a retreat - There are many interesting places to visit and beautiful walks nearby
The Town Centre of Stanhope comprises small shops, a local baker’s/tea room, pubs, its own outdoor swimming pool, a walk by the river and a play area for children. It also has its very own Dales centre with craft shops, a restaurant and information centre which is all wheelchair accessible.
If you do wish to visit Stanhope there is a wheelchair accessible bus that will stop outside the caravan site and also just past the Cross Keys pub at limited times only. Alternatively if you care to drive there are plenty of parking spaces around the area.
