Lovely bungalow with amazing views. The beds were very comfy. The owner left a welcome pack which was very much appreciated also ropes and slippers. I struggled putting the shower on but my husband managed it. I think they could to with some more cooking utensils and a airer for towels etc The paving leading to the property was very uneven Overall we enjoyed our stay and Durham was lovely

Lovely place with lovely views!

We only live 15 minutes away but sadly our dog can't travel to far now because of his age so was a change of 4 walls we enjoyed short walks ,loads of amenities on your doorstep beautiful property and stunning views , weather wasn't good enough to try hot tub but bet it's absolutely beautiful in the summer

Louise

Hot tub very dangerous no steps to get in or out, big drop to get in, and big gaps around the edges. Patio uneven and dangerous in the dark as there are no lights in certain parts. Kitchen had a horrible smell to it. Middle bedroom cold as there is no heating. Found a couple of lads with balaclavas on the bridle path just outside the bungalow left us feeling very unsettled.

Really Great property , fantastically furnished within easy reach of Durham ...

Claire

We stayed here recently for my 40th Birthday and had the most wonderful time. The house is absolutely stunning and has a real wow factor. The hot tub is just wonderful with the most amazing views. We had the best week away. We met the owners as we had a small issue with the central heating, they responded pretty much instantly and came round within a few hours and sorted everything. Such a lovely couple too, really friendly and down to earth. Would definitely return.

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

Beautiful well presented accommodation with lovely views. Perfect for a relaxing getaway. Very clean with luxury furnishings. Hot tub was located perfectly to enjoy the beautiful calming views. Would highly recommend this place to anyone thinking of booking.

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!
