We loved everything about Dairy Cottage! Its location is superb for walking into Durham along the riverbank. It was lovely and warm even in the depths of the January weather. A well-equipped kitchen enabled us to cook and eat in with our family. We only had a weekend break but wished we could have stayed longer so hoping to return in the future.

This is a wonderful cottage in a great location.
This is a wonderful cottage in a great location. The property is very spacious yet comfortable and homely. So relaxing here I didn't feel the need to go out just because I was on holiday. There is a large screen TV, plenty of games and books, plus you can cook up a storm in the well equipped kitchen. The accommodation itself is within a 30 minute stroll along the river to Durham centre and even during Covid-19, there are plenty of eateries offering excellent food.
This property I would highly recommend.

Dairy Cottage is a lovely cottage with lots of room inside to really unwind and enjoy your break, it is very close to the river which has a path into Durham, we had very good weather ( Sept ) so walked into Durham rather than using the car.
We would recommend this cottage.
