Nook Cottage is in a great location for visiting Durham city and the Auckland Project in Bishop Auckland, as well as being a 30 minute drive from the Heritage Coastal town of Seaham. The cottage is fully modernised but retains a characterful feel, with thoughtfully styled decor and accessories. There was an excellent package of milk, bread, butter and treats, as well as toiletries provided in the bathroom.
