Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: We stayed here at the beginning of Jan 26 as a group of couples for our friend’s surprise 40th birthday bash. The accommodation was fabulous. Great house to accommodate large groups. The party room with bar and pool table is perfect. Kitchen was really well equipped - has everything you need and more. This property is great value for money and I would highly recommend.
Negative: Our only criticism would be that the bathrooms (particularly the showers) could do with some investment and upgrading. A few of us tried to use the showers but gave it up as a bad job as the water pressure was really weak and the temperature of the water randomly went from freezing cold to scalding hot. It wasn’t ideal when we were there for 3 nights but we didn’t let it spoil our fun and everything else about the accommodation was perfect 🤩 An extra downstairs toilet or another bathroom would make this property 10/10.
Summary: Highly recommended; huge, spacious and comfortable accommodation which is perfect for large groups. We would definitely

Positive: Communication with the host was great. The host sent me a text on the morning on arrival to introduce herself. She also advised how to collect keys. The is a £100 bond to pay before arrival which I had missed at the time of booking which I sorted before arrival. This will be refunded afterwards if the property is kept acceptable. The property its self is very spacious enough room to move about. We stayed for business so everyone had their own space. We decided to extend our stay one extra night that was hassle free. Thank you we will visit again soon.
Summary: Fantastic

Positive: The host was so nice and friendly. Everything was easy and she looked after us straight away. The house was amazing and so clean and tidy. The bar and pool table were my favourite but we also had wild bunnies playing in the garden to watch. I was initially worried about the location as I was looking closer to to Durham but it was so peaceful and quiet where we were and was only a short drive to Durham. Shops were close by or a short drive to a town with supermarkets. Very handy for the local towns and nearby castles.
Summary: An amazing house in a picturesque location
