10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for daughter's graduation in Durham for two nights. Roons a great size loved the quirkiness if the property. Had every yuou could need. Wish this property was in Durham only easier for travelling"

Binchester Crag Farm

8/10 Good

"House itself and owners were lovely and couldnâ€™t have done enough. We had issues with bugs and flies. We left the doors open due to how hot it was and we got a fly infestation the first night which took a while to clean up. We ran out of bin bags and toilet rolls at one point so owner brought us more. The freezer was tiny so be prepared if youâ€™re going for a long time and taking a lot of freezer food. Overall the house was lovely but just a few things were disappointing with the stay"
