What a revelation this little place was! The cottage was gorgeous and spotlessly clean. The host, Claire, is fabulous. Going above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and well looked after. Definitely would recommend!!

The cottage was beautifully presented with a spacious kitchen and living room, information on the history of the local area and very friendly and helpful hosts. It is a great base for exploring Durham and Hadrian's Wall.

A perfect place from which to explore the area.

9.0

Great location, clean, well equipped and spacious. Super little outdoor space, although we didn’t use it on this occasion. Good to have an actual folder giving a lot of useful and interesting information rather than having to go online. Good communication with the host. Good WiFi. Lovely pub just a few steps away with friendly staff and good food.

− There was a strong, very intrusive smell from the oil fired boiler in the kitchen.

7.0

Location good. Spacious with excellent shower.. Good tv, free Internet, coffee/tea facilities. Host very friendly and easy to park and access the property. Nice outdoor seating area.

− The smell of heating oil was quite strong. Needing to find and put own bin liner in. Toaster crumbs from previous people needed cleaning up. None of these a deal breaker. Just a little annoying.
