The cottage was excellent and the fixtures and fittings of a very high quality. I would be very happy to return and/or to recommend it to friends and contacts. A most enjoyable holiday. Author: Ms Large, St. Albans, Hertfordshire - Date of Stay: 09/2010

Close to lots of places of interest, close to motorway, but quiet and peaceful location. Lovely views from home. Pub next door served excellent food. Good welcome in home - milk, bread and some essentials ready for us plus fresh cut flowers in rooms. Would recommend to anyone! The photos on the web site do not do this property justice, it is much nicer than depicted. Author: Mr Lisle, Chester le Street, Durham - Date of Stay: 08/2010
