All amenities you could wish for. Great to experience an air fryer too. Loved the log burner on the cold evenings. Beds very comfortable as well. The dehumidifiers were a great idea too. Was perfect having off road parking. The children loved the lovely neighbourhood and went trick or treating. Lots ti see and do in the surrounding area.

Central for touring Durham and Northumberland. All mod cons provided including welcome hamper which was appreciated. Slight hiccup with hotwater but sorted by caretaker Gemma and helpful neighbour. Will return.

A great size and plenty of space for the little ones to run around. Also a nice touch providing bread, milk, tea, coffee, biscuits and some bubbly. Slight issue with the hot water which is very temperamental and they could do with some much larger towels than what are provided. The back garden was a bit messy and there was the remains of a dead bird in the decking which took me a lot of effort to clear. It had clearly been there for months as stuck into the decking and mostly bones! But surrounding area at the back with farm animals was great for my daughter & itâs a lovely part of the world.
