What our customers say about their holidays
Raymond - Verified booking
Our recent stay at the charming holiday property at 4 Ford Street was an absolute blast.
Let's kick things off with the accommodation. The bedrooms were like fluffy clouds of comfort, perfect for sinking into after a day of adventure. And speaking of adventure, the addition of a single sofa bed in the main bedroom was a stroke of genius â our four-legged companions claimed it as their own personal throne! Now, onto the amenities â prepare to be amazed! The kitchen was so well-equipped, it could have given a professional chef a run for their money. But the real highlight of our stay? The K9 Dog grooming service in Lanchester High Street. Our furry friends came back looking like they just stepped out of a doggy spa â talk about pampered pooches! Now, let's talk about parking â or should I say, parking gymnastics? The space outside was snugger than a pair of skinny jeans, but fear not! we mastered it in the end thanks to reversing cameras. Parking on visits to walking spots was far easier. On the best day out we parked up at Pow Hill Country Park Car Park for free and embarked on a magical walk around Derwent Reservoir. Picture this: two and a half miles of scenic bliss, with water views that would make even a mermaid jealous. We made our way to the visitor centre, where we indulged in some well-earned refreshments â because let's face it, walking is thirsty work! But the adventure didn't stop there. On our way back, we swung by the dog playing field just outside the visitor centre. Let's just say our furry companions had the time of their lives â and by the time we got back to the property, they were out like a light! In summary, our stay at 4 Ford Street was nothing short of epic. From the cosy accommodation to the doggy adventures, every moment was filled with laughter and joy. A huge thank you to the owners for providing such a paws-itively wonderful experience! Here's to making memories that will last a lifetime!

The setting of the cottage is lovely and the views are great.
The cottage is extremely clean, however there are a few downsides. The bed was very small and somewhat uncomfortable and the sliding wardrobe doors didnât open properly. When taking a shower the water went all over the floor as the channel in the middle was too narrow and you had to put the shower facing the wall rather than in the middle to try to avoid getting water everywhere. This meant the towels were soaking as had to try to mop the water up. The toilet seat was ill fitting and kept sliding, so ended up nipping legs. There were zero instructions left for the most complicated washing machine Iâve ever seen and to this day I donât know if it was a washer/drier, it was a guessing game as to how to use it, and considering this property has underfloor heating there wasnât a clothes airer so ended up having to lay clothes on the floor in an attempt to dry them. Not ideal at all and there was nowhere outside to dry clothes either. My parter tried to call the numbers but didnât receive a response until a third attempt by which point I had given up with the washer and had to go to the launderette in another village. The oven had one shelf so it made it really difficult to cook things together as there simply wasnât room. There were brand new, what appeared to be shelves in the drawer under the oven but these didnât fit so were of no use. There was no flat frying pan, just a wok so trying to cook an omelette was a challenge. The property and the welcome could be so much better and the fact it has so few bookings speaks volumes really. Also Sunday only check ins seems really silly. We didnât really feel we were wanted there. Such a shame.

The cottage is one of the best in which we have stayed.
It was spotlessly clean; spacious, with a very high standard of furnishings, and kitchen equipment. Everything had been thought of; including a delicious 'welcome basket'. (Wine, coffee, cake, etc). The bathroom is lovely, with a super 'rain shower'. Each room is beautiful, with lovely paintings and craft work. The attractive small gardens were excellent 'suntraps' for coffee and cake. Lanchester is an attractive large village with many shops catering for everyday requirements. It also has an excellent bus service to Durham or Consett: to avoid the necessity of driving. The situation is ideal for Hadrian's wall, and moorland/river walks from Wolsingham. The disused railway provides easy walking or cycling in both directions. There are several pubs and restaurants, which we reluctantly did not visit due to 'social distancing': but made use of the Fish/( Vegetarian options) and Chip shop on one occasion. The location of the 'cottage' is very peaceful and definitely to be recommended. Helen (the owner) thoughtfully texted to inquire if we had any other requirements. Thank you to Helen and Peter.

This was a last minute booking due to Covid-19 as we had been looking for a Cottage/Caravan nearer the Durham coast.
My wife and I used this magnificent house as a base to catch up with my wife's County Durham family. The terraced house is very well decorated, and has beautiful furniture, and a well fitted kitchen. The backyard is inspirational in its choice of plants, and will mean us visiting our local garden centre to try and recreate the feel. My son was staying with us, and the three of us did not manage to overwhelm the Wifi. The A68, a few miles to the west makes it ideal for getting to Hadrian's Wall and into Northumberland. Be careful when driving through Consett though as you can get lost if you miss a sign on the ring road, and beware of the cyclists if you are taking the pleasant walk along the old railway line towards either Consett or Durham. Lanchester itself is a beautiful village, with a wide variety of shops, pubs and restaurants, the neighbours are very friendly, and Sainsbury is 10 minutes away on the outskirts of Durham. A good place to return to. P.S. Should the GOT Poster really be Uhtred of Bebbanburg?.

The cottage is absolutely beautiful both inside and out.
By far the best equipped we have ever stayed in and we have had stayed in lots over the years. The cottage is cosy and immaculate, everything you could need is provided and more. The cottage is very tastefully decorated and fitted out to a very highest standard and the artwork adorning the walls is fabulous. Helen and Steve should be very proud of themselves with what they have achieved in making this cottage such a real home from home. From opening the gate into the small but colourful and interestingly laid out garden to closing the gate for the last time on your way home you will be so glad you booked this beautiful cottage and like us l am sure you will be making plans to return again at some point in the future. If you are thinking about booking this cottage dont hesitate do it now you will love it.
