A great holiday stay in Durham
We really enjoyed our stay at Farnley Ridge. The bungalow was cosy, comfortable and well equipped. It is very spacious and had everything anyone would need for a great stay. In a wonderful location in terms of getting into town and visiting nearby local attractions such as the Oriental museum. Loads to do locally and we would highly recommend it. The only slightly negative feedback is for the property manager, Cottages.com. There was no email sent re access arrangements and when I logged not my account two days prior to our visit there was a key safe access number, but by the day of our arrival, this info had disappeared. We didn’t feel they were very solicitous. A shame as the property is so great
