As a group of 6 we had a lovely stay at this beautiful bungalow which has everything we needed. Gorgeous views from the property and hot tub. The owner was great and left a lovely welcome package. Would definitely recommend.

Nicholas

This was excellent, flexible accommodation for a family get together with dogs. It offers both space and privacy. It is in quiet location with a lovely outlook and yet the city of Durham is easily accessible. The journey can be walked in 25 minutes and is pleasant although it does include a steep hill.

Alison

We absolutely loved our stay. The location is perfect, with access to the trails for walking the dogs, whilst also being close to the city for exploring. The hot tub was perfect with the trees and lights making it feel nice and cosy. Inside the house is beautiful and a fantastic size. Our host was also lovely and we loved our bottle of prosecco on arrival. Thanks for a lovely stay. We will definitely be back!

Ashleigh

Mphatso

This place is really beautiful and clean , we love our stay definitely recommend this place. And the owner she communicates so well , we felt at home

Beautiful property with amazing decor. Hot tub was a lovely bonus too. The kitchen however was very short of utensils and only seemed to have 6 settings for platesbowls and cutlery. There was no bowl for example to put a salad in we used the frying pan instead. We had a lovely stay though for my daughter's graduation. Thank you.

Elaine

Beautiful house with amazing views. Lovely decked outside area around the hot tub. It is the perfect combination, both spacious and private. The house was very comfortable and so were the beds. We had a few issues with the heatinghot water but when we contacted the owner they were very helpful and came out to sort this straight away. 1010 customer care.

Lauren

What a beautiful little getaway, we stayed for 2 nights celebrating a couple of birthday's. The place is amazing, even better than the pictures advertised on the site. It had everything you needed and the beds were so comfortable! Hot tub with the most amazing views and we got to see two deers one morning right on the field, which was lovely. We will 100 be back, it was worth every penny for how nice the place is, the decor was just lush! We've had the most perfect little weekend away & the dog also loved his stay too, thank you!

Lesley
