We had a lovely stay. The 'cottage' was well equipped and ideal for the two of us. The house was spotless and very easy to keep clean & tidy. Though a little further from Durham city than we expected, the buses ran regularly from the main road a short walk away. As it was near the top of the hill, walking back from Durham would have been very hard! We had left the car at home, but found the buses to be excellent - on time and going to all the places we wanted to visit. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We're delighted to hear that you found the cottage well-equipped, spotless, and ideal for your stay. It’s great to know that the local bus service worked well for you, even if the hill added a bit of a challenge on foot! We really appreciate you choosing to stay with us and hope to welcome you back again in the future — perhaps with the car next time for a bit of extra ease. Thanks again!
