White House Cottages
Outstanding place! Lovely and well done out with all you need, great communication from the host. Easy to find, parking right outside the door. Well equipped kitchen and comfy bed. Definitely use again. Didn’t use the pub 150 yards away sadly.

Durham City Cottages
Stayed for 3 nights over New Year...was absolute bliss. Late booking and the communication was brilliant to get it sorted. Cottage was immaculate throughout with everything we needed. Perfect location for walks, and yet only 5 minutes from shops and Durham centre Will be returning again for sure...thank ...
