Lovely cottage and beautifully furnished. The location is excellent, and although in the grounds of the owners property it was extremely private. We used the cottage as a base to travel to both Newcastle and Durham which was extremely convenient. The hot tub is a great addition but a little pricey for three nights.

Absolutely fantastic holiday cottage. The privacy just cannot be underestimated. You are only a stones throw from the city but could be in the middle of nowhere.
