About the host

Hosted by Ray

Host profile image
After purchasing the property 6 months were spent totally renovating it before making it available as a holiday home. Having spent many years of my life working around the world living out of a suitcase I have a lot of experience of good and bad temporary accommodation. To-date our customer feedback tells us we are doing something right.

Why they chose this property

With easy access to the A1M and the A19 The Briar Rose is perfectly located for exploring this often overlooked yet beautiful and historic part of Britain. The wild dales of the Pennines, the pristine blue flag beaches all along the coast, the bustling cities of Durham & Newcastle and so much more. However long your stay it will be far too short.

What makes this property unique

"An oasis of tranquility " was the phrase used by a guest. The property is very quite, warm and very comfortable. Quality beds guarantee a good nights sleep. The gardens are private and the rear is south facing and is a good place to sit from March onward. Major efforts are made to keep the place spotless, which we see is greatly appreciated by our guests reviews.
