Enjoyed a lovely stay in what is a remarkable cottage. The setting is incredible, so peaceful and the cottage is well equipped and really comfortable. It's a great base from which to explore the area and the hosts are very helpful and friendly. They have lots of information at hand to help you on your way, and are readily available should you need them for anything. Would certainly recommend.

This is a lovely place to stay, Les and Tes were lovely hosts. The house is really cozy, with great views and plenty of space for kids to play, the children really enjoyed the farm animals. Great location for visiting local beaches and Durham whilst staying somewhere peaceful. We would definitely recommend.
