Excellent property for vacation with everything provided. property owner on hand to share info on where to go for the children. The garden area and shared games room is a great additional benefit to keep the kids entertained. Would definitely recommend this property and will stay again.
The whole place is amazing. We needed to go somewhere peaceful, calm and back to nature after I had 7 months of chemotherapy, complications and hospital stays. This was the perfect place to go. As soon as we arrived we immediately felt happy and in awe of the whole area. The village reminded me of Postman Pat. We loved it and it slowed us down in every way. We will definitely go back when we can. Thanks so much for providing such a brilliant place to stay.
We arrived early and owner allowed us to check in early, and had a nice surprise left us of chocolates and wine and a Christmas card ,milk in the fridge, and tea coffee and sugar.lovely home from home comforts and every kitchen utensils you need . excellent host and highly recommend and i will book again in the future.great surroundings and walks.i found a public footpath that brings you to the local pub.😀 There is a local shop and chip shop.and its a 20 minutes drive to the bigger shops in Darlington.rapy castle was great to visit.😃
Absolutely enjoyed my little stay wish we could have stayed longer but couldn't because of work. Everything you needed was there. Definitely would go back
