Chose the 40 Winks as they had interesting rooms- a real boutique hotel and so much nicer than the standard white box you get. We stayed in the Gala Room which was AMAZING! The bed was so comfy and having a bath in the lovely roll top whilst admiring the views of the Cathedral was a great start to the morning. Staff were lovely and the breakfast was delicious (and filling). Location superb too.

We had a truly wonderful stay here. The loft room was so nice , and the whole house was spotless and very well maintained. It’s excellent value for money, with a delicious continental breakfast each morning. The location is perfect, with a beautiful sea view that made the mornings extra special. The host was incredibly warm and welcoming. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a clean, cozy, and well-located place to stay.

Very well furnished and equipped. So quiet at night. Lovely touches like fresh eggs from their hens and monogrammed huge white towels, as well as waffle cotton bathrobes. Plenty of games to play, DVDs to watch and comfy sofas. Loved the layout with bedrooms downstairs. We were visiting with another family group and they stayed a property just across the courtyard from us. Very rural setting yet deceptively close to villages and towns - only a 15min drive from Durham. All round great stay!

Very spacious, very comfortable, very clean, lovely facilities. En-suite bathrooms to every bedroom and a downstairs toilet. Historical features like the beams, steps and old turnip-processing machine. Plenty of everything for 6 people. We didn’t bring our dog but appreciate the secure garden if we had done.
