The property was like new. We stayed in the Waiting Room, a self contained suite. Bright, clean and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Daryl, the host, lives on the property and is very responsive and friendly. The location is excellent. It’s right in the village of Lanchester, yet in a very quiet location.

Welcome pack was very thoughtful, and made our breakfasts & stay much simpler. Well equipped rooms, great bedding, lovely aspect and excellent location - perched in a hamlet high in the hills overlooking Durham Cathedral, close to a village pub serving good food, but a quick and easy drive in to town.

The site was small, tidy and fairly quiet. Holiday home was clean and cared for, large tv, cooker and microwave. Beds were comfy. Essentials of tea, coffee,bread, milk and eggs were provided which were welcome as no shops on site or nearby.. Lovely walk down Shotton bank (left out of main gate) and through tunnel to Castle Eden Dene nature reserve where we saw a variety of wild flowers and some deer.
