Hall Farm cottage is in an excellent location for exploring County Durham, the cottage itself is of a really high standard with a well equipped kitchen and with more than enough utensils for two people, we found it very comfortable with an added bonus of a hot tub.If you're looking for a peaceful and relaxing breakaway Hall Farm cottage is perfect.

Fabulous mini break, just what we needed.

Fabulous mini break, just what we needed. The cottage has everything you could need for self catering. Lovely and clean. Cosy and warm. Friendly owner. The photos don’t do it justice, they look lovely but it’s so much nicer in person. We didn’t use any local amenities but they would be easy enough to navigate if needed. Would definitely recommend to others.

Cottage is lovely, however had an issue where the WiFi didn’t work for three days of our stay meaning we had to upgrade phone data just to stay in touch! However, hot tub was lovely and the cottage was very clean and comfy. Only improvement would be a bigger sofa as we both struggled to get comfy on that!

The cottage was spacious, well-equipped, tidy and comfortable.

The cottage was spacious, well-equipped, tidy and comfortable. We liked the added extras of the welcome pack, hot tub and log burner, with a fire already set and additional supplies provided. The location is quiet with walks from the doorstep and occasional buses during the day to nearby towns. Thomas Wright house in the village serves food daily and there are a variety of meals available. The Royal Oak pub is also close by and serves 1 real ale which is very reasonably priced. Overall a lovely place to stay. Keep an eye out for the barn owl early evening.

A very good cottage - warm, comfortable, attractively furnished and reasonably well equipped. The immediate location is alright, with pleasant views over the surrounding countryside but the village itself is fairly bleak with no shop although an excellent restaurant.
