Orchard House Durham Reviews

Sarah
Wow, what a fantastic find! The house was so roomy and had everything we needed, honestly. The welcome pack was a lovely surprise and really thoughtful. We appreciated the comfy beds and the hot tub - perfect after long walks nearby. Usually, we try different places, but this one really stood out, so we've already booked for next year. The staff were super friendly and helpful too. Ohand the Sunday dinner at 61 next door? Amazing! Will definitely come back. Thanks, Hide!
