Cheesedale, run by Allison and Jonathon, are also known as Teesdale Cheesemakers in Bishop Auckland.
You can spend the night in one of their two off-grid cabins, named Ash and Holly.
Each one sleeps two people and has a kitchen or an outdoor firepit and BBQ area on the decking.
If you need to warm up, there is a woodfired hot tub outside, while each lodge is fully insulated with a hot air heater.

The lodges start from £90 a night, working out to £45 each, with a minimum stay of two nights.

Set across 20 acres is also the farm, as well as the cafe and shop called Cafe Cheesedale.
Their sausages and bacon are from their rare breed pigs raised at Pond Farm and fed with the whey from the cheese making.
You can even watch them make the cheese while there, all of which is vegetarian friendly and can even request a cheese celebration cake.
