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).

Perfect stay. The property has everything we need, everything needed to cook in the kitchen but still close enough to the city centre for us to have a quick drive for a meal. Will definitely be bringing the family with us on our next stay. The garden was nice and secure for our dog to be able to run around freely. Parking is on a private drive. 10/10 we will be back

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.
