    The cottage was immaculate and perfectly positioned with great parking and rural views from the back and front. Literally across the road was a great woodland walk with further access to Hedleyhope Fell with marked trails. About 9 doors down was a lovely little pub with excellent food (with takeaway possible). Easy access to Durham, Hamsterley Forest, Gibside etc. Don't be put off by the name of the village - the colliery and houses were demolished and it's now all woodland and meadows.

    Property manager Clare very helpful & quickly resolved any issues. She went out of her way to ensure we had a good stay. Clean & comfortable home & we would stay here again. Only complaint - no toilet brush in bathroom - sorry I forgot to mention this before

    This mid terrace house was immaculate and much larger than expected. Open views at front and rear. A house in a very interesting hamlet that was 100 years ago a thriving pit village .... but now one can only see open fields and woods. Good food at a pub a few doors down the road. We enjoyed Beamish and Durham which are less than 10 miles away. The house has a service road in front making parking easy. The play area across the road was suitable for teenage ball games as well as young children.
