Immaculate property only a few miles from Durham.
Immaculate property only a few miles from Durham. Exceptionally clean throughout. Local pub recommendation 200 yards away was a big disappointment but not the owners fault. Literally 2 mins from the A1M so excellent for Newcastle. Highly recommended.

Everything you could need with comfort thrown in.
Everything you could need with comfort thrown in. Quiet and relaxing, though we did find the front room very cold but it was January and below zero outside. Many thanks to the owners for providing assistance when we had car problems...it was much appreciated.
