Place like home
Absolutely amazing place. Husband went raiding and I went there just to chill out. Kids who are all always on the phone enjoyed a days without a phones as there was a playground and horses over the road. Place was homely and clean. Pub is just 5 houses down with most amazing food.

Clare is an excellent host and left treats and essentials at the cottage. The cottage was very clean and modern. Access to all the North East has to offer from the cottage. I would highly recommend the cottage for other families.
Lovely cottage, clean well presented. Good communication, nice folder on the table for arrival with lots of local info 👌 first class we will be back 👍

Immaculate property in convenient location
This immaculate terraced cottage is deceptively large inside and has open views front and back. The kitchen has everything you’d need, including a washing machine and dryer. My double bed was comfy and the shower in the bathroom is the most powerful one I’ve ever used-bliss!
There’s plenty of free parking in front of the terrace just off the A road. Road traffic was minimal and therefore road noise was not an issue.
There’s no shop within the village but there is a pub at the end of the row which serves food to eat in or takeaway. I collected a meal for one of garlic mushrooms which came with a slice of garlic bread and salad garnish, 10” pizza and a slice of chocolate orange cake-all for just £12. What a bargain.
I’d also recommend the Greenhouse cafe at Lanchester garden centre, only about a four minute drive away, their cooked breakfast was delicious and the cakes looked amazing. If you’re travelling with children the centre also has a small tropical zoo, owls and play area which I didn’t explore-entry is £4.
Knitsley farm shop near Consett is also worth a visit for their fantastic range of produce and small cafe.
The property is perfectly placed to explore the many tourist attractions and lovely rolling countryside. The fantastic Beamish museum, imposing Angel of the North, historic Durham and beautiful east coast are all just a short drive away.
I’d love to return here again-what more if a recommendation can I give.

Top notch
The owner went out of her way to make sure we enjoyed our stay. The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable. There is a great pub very close with a beer garden which also served good food. There was a lovely walk in the woods opposite. Overall excellent.
Easy to find, excellent situation for us as we wanted to go to Beamish. Property very clean and had all the amenities we required.
Very thoughtful provided us with coffee tea milk bread biscuits etc.
Could not fault it.
Really lovely cottage, tastefully decorated with everything you need for a great stay and Clare is a superb host. The rooms are all good sizes so if the weather was poor it would still be a nice break.
There's a lovely walk from the door and a bus stop with several daily services to Durham so it's even possible to visit without a car.
The only thing I'd add is to drive down the main road a little further than Google Maps suggests & you'll see the off road parking & sign for the cottage.
