Warm welkom, knus huis met prachtig uitzicht op de North Pennines
Na een hartelijk welkom van de gastheer genoten we van het heerlijk knusse huis met open haard, grote tuin en prachtig uitzicht.
In de omgeving is veel te zien en te beleven: van kastelen en kerken tot bergtoppen met schapen zover je kan kijken.
