Daryl was very welcoming and went out of her way to make our stay extra enjoyable: great variable breakfast, offering tea and cookies when we decided to spend the evening on the patio, explaining the different dinner options in detail, the personal communication. When we left, she offered us some travel advice that allowed us to appreciate the surroundings more than expected beforehand. Our room and the ɓ&b in general were stylishly decorated (and spotless).

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.
