We had the most fantastic stay at Featherstone House.
We had the most fantastic stay at Featherstone House. It’s a spacious, warm and inviting family home with everything you need for a break. The garden is big too (we’re looking forward to coming back and enjoying it in the summer!) and the hot tub is a great addition. The house was very clean and the host, Andrew, couldn’t have done more for us. Highly recommend

A wonderful weeks holiday.
A wonderful weeks holiday. House, enclosed garden and hot tub perfect us and our two dogs. We could relax knowing the dogs were secure. All the extra touches like dog bowls and dog towels. The patio chairs and bbq will be well used in the spring and summer although we did come home slightly glowing from the super weather. A great base for exploring waterfalls, caves, castles, hills and beaches. Arrived home relaxed, fitter and full of memories not forgetting a nice collection of seaglass from Seaham! Host Andrew was friendly, helpful and at the end of the phone if required. Thank you. x
A lovely spacious property with large rooms, well equipped family kitchen and lovely quiet spacious garden. The jacuzzi is a fabulous bonus which is really nice even on a chilly evening.
