The cottage was immaculate and perfectly positioned with great parking and rural views from the back and front. Literally across the road was a great woodland walk with further access to Hedleyhope Fell with marked trails. About 9 doors down was a lovely little pub with excellent food (with takeaway possible). Easy access to Durham, Hamsterley Forest, Gibside etc. Don't be put off by the name of the village - the colliery and houses were demolished and it's now all woodland and meadows.

Property manager Clare very helpful & quickly resolved any issues. She went out of her way to ensure we had a good stay. Clean & comfortable home & we would stay here again. Only complaint - no toilet brush in bathroom - sorry I forgot to mention this before

This mid terrace house was immaculate and much larger than expected. Open views at front and rear. A house in a very interesting hamlet that was 100 years ago a thriving pit village .... but now one can only see open fields and woods. Good food at a pub a few doors down the road. We enjoyed Beamish and Durham which are less than 10 miles away. The house has a service road in front making parking easy. The play area across the road was suitable for teenage ball games as well as young children.

A very warm, cosy cottage, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Great food at the local pub. The host was so good at communicating and made us feel very welcome. She left us breakfast items. Very thoughtful. Would highly recommend staying here.

Deceptively spacious, immaculately clean comfortable cottage in a great location. Quiet, with parking inform on the cottage. Easy access to any of the urban areas but having the peace of the open countryside. Everything you could possibly need has been thoughtfully provided. Excellent, friendly communication from the host and thoughtful extra touches. Great little pub at the end of the row which does excellent, reasonably priced food. It really was the perfect place to stay - we have already reb
