The cottage was beautifully presented with a spacious kitchen and living room, information on the history of the local area and very friendly and helpful hosts. It is a great base for exploring Durham and Hadrian's Wall.

Great location, clean, well equipped and spacious. Super little outdoor space, although we didn’t use it on this occasion. Good to have an actual folder giving a lot of useful and interesting information rather than having to go online. Good...
