Daryl was very welcoming and went out of her way to make our stay extra enjoyable: great variable breakfast, offering tea and cookies when we decided to spend the evening on the patio, explaining the different dinner options in detail, the personal communication. When we left, she offered us some travel advice that allowed us to appreciate the surroundings more than expected beforehand. Our room and the ɓ&b in general were stylishly decorated (and spotless).

The hotel is adjacent to an old church, and is close to the town centre, 5 minutes' walk down a small slope. And the room is very spacious and clean. The lady Erika who prepares the breakfast is very welcoming, understanding and efficient. She confirmed my choice of how the breakfast was to be made every morning.

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.
