What our customers say about their holidays

  We were very happy with our stay, a few minor issues which we did report back to the owner.

  Nothing of significance that spoilt our week. The bedroom with the large bath was very warm and few windows could be opened. We bought a fan to help keep it cool. We did have a particularly warm week. Hot tub excellent. Fantastic kitchen and lovely enclosed grass area for the dogs. Good walks from the doorstep. Two local pubs. Travellers Rest was good for food, Glendenning Arms for drinkers. Both welcome dogs. Best to get the bus into Durham, 10 mins and half hourly service most times. Lanchester worth a visit. Excellent food at the Kings Head. Beamish museum, 25 mins by car, is a must and prepare to be there for the day. We hope to return again to this property, or one of the others on this excellent complex.

  Wow this place is beautiful.

  Not only is the cottage everything you could ask for, and more, the views from every window are stunning and the owners were really welcoming and friendly, as were the locals. The garden is large and our dogs really enjoyed running around playing and watching the horses and alpacas in the adjacent fields. There are lots of dog friendly walks in the area and also a cycle path near by. We visited a couple of farm shops in the area that sold lots of fresh local produce to cook in the lovely well equipped kitchen. We are planning to stay here again in the future and highly recommend this beautiful place.

  Firstly and most important, there really is nothing negative to say about Willow Lodge.

  For my partner and I, this was one of our best lodge holidays! The accommodation was perfectly clean throughout, fully equipped with all facilities. A welcome cream tea awaited in the fridge, plus tea, coffee and milk to get one settled in. The lodge is in a very quiet location, not overlooked and extremely private. Lounging in the hot tub, day or evening is a delight with an abundance of visiting wildlife to observe. Ideally located for local woodland walks or using as a base for walking the Coastal Path a few minutes drive away. In summary, a special place, one where we are already planning to return.

  We really enjoyed our stay at this quirky little cottage.

  It is in an ideal position directly opposite the excellent village tea shop and only a 2 minute walk to the hotel/pub. We also enjoyed the short mile and a half walk along to the lovely village of Askrigg. Lots of nice walking from the door too. The cottage was very comfortable with everything you could need and the two showers were great, especially the beautiful, modern one upstairs. The only outdoor seating is basically outside the front door which was ok for sitting out with the odd cuppa. The bottle of "fizz' on arrival was a lovely touch, Thanks. Would recommend this cute little cottage.

  We really enjoyed our week in the Old Dame School cottage with it’s quirky, quaint, homely atmosphere.

  All the facilities had full, simple instructions and the two showers were excellent. The cottage is situated in an ideal spot with lovely views down the village green and out of the way of passing traffic. Parking is right outside the door and the superb Corn Mill tea rooms an added bonus just opposite. My wife and I walked every day, most of the beautiful walks were from our doorstep. There are two doorways with rather low headroom but after the second day we didn’t bump our heads once. We would wholeheartedly recommend the cottage and I do hope we return sometime in the future.
