Shower Room: Cubicle Shower, Toilet. Biomass central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Large decked area with garden furniture. Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking.. This charming, detached former Hemel, close to the owners’ home, lies just 1½ miles from the historic village of Lanchester and only 10 miles from Durham. Lanchester is steeped in history dating back to the 12th century and it has a large village green which sits in the middle of some charming properties, with 3 village inns and eateries to hand. Cyclists will be eager to explore the quiet country roads or take the Derwent Valley Railway Path east to the outskirts of Durham, or west to join the Waskerly Way and on to Weardale. A walk can be taken along these footpaths, the section just south of Lancaster skirting the river Browney being a particular highlight. Corbridge is a mere 15 miles away with super pubs, tea rooms and shops, then carry on to Hadrian’s Wall to visit the Roman forts or a little further to Hexham, with its beautiful abbey. Enjoy Durham with its river walks, fine cathedral, bijou wine bars, traditional pubs and plenty of retail therapy. Alnwick Castle where part of the Harry Potter films were made takes approximately 1 hour, where you can visit the enchanting water gardens and treehouse, and stroll along the cobbled streets. Drive a little further north and follow the Heritage Coastal Route to come across Seahouses and Bamburgh, and the enchanting Holy Island or Lindasfarne, making a great day trip. Come back and relax at this holiday cottage, admiring the views outside after a day’s exploring. Consett 3 miles. Children’s play area 1½ miles. Shop and pub 1½ miles, restaurant ½ mile.

Great cottage location, detached and overlooking a stables.
Great cottage location, detached and overlooking a stables. It was great to sit and watch the horses in the sun from the lovely patio. The cottage is private and relaxing and has everything you need. Comfy sofa, excellent bed and enjoyed cooking in the open plan living area. So sad to leave we had an excellent trip.

Cosy, comfortable cottage.
Well thought out accommodation which was warm and welcoming on arrival. Collected key from a key safe on the wall, sadly never saw the owner/manager during our stay. Fantastic views from the downstairs window and from the outside decking. Parking a little way from the door and rather dark when returning at night. Well equipped for cooking with microwave, oven and hob but the markings on the hob had worn off so guess work as to which knob worked which hot plate and which direction was the hottest setting. No handbook for the microwave and the one for the cooker was hidden under the cutlery container. Enough crockery and utensils for our needs. We could have done with a dustpan and brush as we swept the tiled floor every day and had to get vacuum cleaner out when we could just have used the brush. Described as pet friendly but dogs not allowed on the grass outside so every time our dog needed a comfort break we had to walk her along the drive to the parking area. We only spotted the dog feeding bowl and poo bags when we went into the under stairs cupboard looking for a brush. Fortunately we had taken our own. Nowhere near by to walk our dog safely as a busy road was at the top of the access road without any pavements. The cottage served our purpose as a base from which to visit friends and family in the area and further afield.
