We did have a game of hide and seek for the cutlery but the owner helped us out. It was clean, the beds were comfortable there was ample cooking equipment like slow cookers pans trays etc. We really enjoyed the selection of games and football table and it is a quiet village so expect to travel for the shop or take outs. I'm not sure if you can get home delivery so check before you go. Both ensuits were clean and tidy and a lovely big bathroom for the other guests to share. We throughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this to other groups going to the weardale activity centre. The owner is super helpful which made the stay even better.
