We were pleasantly surprised by the value we got for our money at the Colliery Cottage in Durham. The room was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and felt just like a home away from home. The location was great, with a dog walk just across the road, and it was only a short journey to Durham university. The staff, especially Clare the host, were incredibly welcoming and even put up Christmas decorations and a tree in the cottage. It was the perfect cozy and comfortable stay.

This house has everything we needed, comfy beds, a fab shower, and lovely views of horses. Clare was wonderful to deal with and really accommodating. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Felt lucky, nothing to complain about.
