Sehr netter und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber, wirklich sehr freundlich.Die Umgebung ist wunderschön, man kann auf einer kleinen Bank auch vor dem Haus sitzen und auf die Landschaft schauen. Die Wohnung ist schön gestaltet, wenn auch klein, Dusche top.Für zwei, drei Tage war es für uns genau richtig.Das einzige Manko war, dass die Handtuchheizung nicht funktionierte, aber das war zu verkraften

We have modernised and finished the cottages to a high standard so that they reflect the standards you would expect in a quality hotel, but with a personal touch. With our extensive knowledge of the area we will be able to direct you to some great restaurants / bars and also direct you to the numerous attractions of Durham City and county Durham. We have also organised discounts at a few restaurants.
