Jon was a great host. The rural setting and local pub were excellent. A reasonably easy journey by car into Durham and to the Living Museum in Beamish:a must see. We will definitely be back and look forward to seeing more of County Durham.

Location for us was ideal as we needed a night between Darlington and Durham. Very clean, comfortable bed. Breakfast of toast and cornflakes left in room. I did not like the shared bathroom, although I knew it was going to be shared.

The location was ideal for us as we had friends in Ludworth, and we were going in to Durham too. The bed in the room was very comfy, the shower excellent. Very clean and well presented throughout. Staff were great, breakfast was amazing and included in the price of the room and it was well worth it, will be coming back!
