Absolutely beautiful

Came up from Birmingham to visit family and fed up of the hotel environment so decided to give the rental market a try - won’t be going back to hotels. Beautiful cottage with beautiful facilities. Close by to transport links and easy to get to many local places of beauty. The welcome pack was a lovely touch when we arrived - cereal biscuits milk to name a few. Plenty of space - there were 5 of us staying and never once did we feel under each other’s feet. Will definitely be back when we come for another visit.

My Review

A good sized house with generous proportions, rather bland decor internally, The road is reasonable busy esp. during the day. Overall, good value for money esp. if you needed three bedrooms .

Nice cottage in a good location, suffoekt for a family of 5 including three kids

The property was as described in Homeaway. Overall my family and I liked the property. There was a problem with the boiler as we checked in but the owner was waiting with new heaters and that sorted us out fine. On the last day the owner had to bring in three different companies to check the problem with the boiler and give her quotes. I allowed it (she was kind enough to ask) but didn’t appreciate having to go through that during our stay. Despite that it was a lovely stay and a nice warm home.

Beautiful cottage in perfect location

Had a wonderful time and the cottage was fabulous. It was clean, well kept and there was even a lovely welcome hamper awaiting us. The location is great - close to Durham and its castle/cathedral, High Power waterfall and the beamish museum which kept both adults and children entertained. There are also some beautiful walks literally around the corner. All in all, very highly recommended.

Very enjoyable stay

The property was perfect for us. It has two bathrooms, which is great when there are a few of you staying and everything required for a pleasant stay. The kitchen is well stocked with cutlery, crockery and appliances, so if you want to spend evenings in, everything is there. We prefer to travel without a car and the cottage is perfect for that. There are two regular buses giving frequent and fast access to Durham (and train links to everywhere) and the 24 bus, which goes right past the cottage, will even take you to Hartlepool if you want (we used it to visit HMS Trincomalee). The village of Sherburn is very friendly and we visited the two pubs while we were there, we also did some rambling in the local area, including a walk into Durham via the river. Lynne was very approachable and helpful, so all in all a great break in the excellent North East. We would not hesitate to recommend Stone Cottage.
