The barn had beautiful walks from the door and was a great location for exploring Durham, Hadrians wall and surrounding areas,which was purpose of our trip. Perfect for those travelling with their dogs, large boot room for cleaning muddy paws and storing coats boots etc. Very clean and comfortable accomodation.

A fantastic stay, everything was perfect, clean, warm and nicely set out. We loved the cottage and the location was stunning, so peaceful and such beautiful views. The welcome basket was a lovely touch and having milk in the fridge on arrival after a long drive was perfect. Perfect distance for a visit to Beamish and Hexham. We would absolutely comRead moree back again. Hide

The communal space in this house is all upstairs and the stairs are steep although they have good handrails. We were a family of 5 adults and 1child and there was plenty of social space for us. Also we had plenty of crockery. 2 bedrooms are downstairs, 1 off the lounge. Downstairs ensuites are a bit tight for space & bedroom furniture is basic but Read morethe beds were all comfortable. Not much natural light in the downstairs bedrooms. Sitting out area is fine except it only has a view of the cowshed. Hide

As above on location. and easily accessed with good directions. A comfortable, well equipped home and well placed for inviting places to visit. Despite rain , we much enjoyed our trip to Lanercost and back via the Wall and the drive via Alston to Penrith.
