Lovely property. Very clean and tidy and it felt really homely. Great location for visiting my brother and loved the fact there were woods opposite for walking the dog. Didn’t get to try the local pub because every time I phoned the line seemed to cut out halfway through but we really liked the New Board Inn in Esh. Would definitely stay again. Thank you Clare!

A beautiful house with all the fine personal touches. Well equipped with everything you need and spotlessly clean. The local pub at the end of the road has a welcoming warm friendly atmosphere. There is a folder the host has put together with nearly all the information could need. This is the perfect place to get away from it all.

The property is immaculate, so welcoming, warm and even decorated for Christmas
Only slight negative was I couldn’t find a chopping board and the knives were a bit blunt but no major problem for us

Everything was spot on, immaculate, spacious, clean,host was amazing, location was great for all the sites. Locomotion free train museum, Kynren, Bernard Castle - lots of things to do in the area.
Lovely horses and foals in field opposite.
Facilities in the house are fantastic.
Only one complaint - needs a coffee table in the front room for cups of tea!!! Not a major issue just a suggestion !

Lovely two bedroom house in a quiet location. Comfy beds and friendly host. It was easy to park in front the house and there is a lovely woods opposite which was fab for walking the dog. The back garden is enclosed. There's a bus stop opposite and a pub at the bottom of the road that served good food. This was a great base for exploring Durham and the surrounding area and we even drove up to Bamburgh and the Holy Island for a day trip. Would definitely stay again.
Nothing.

Really lovely cottage. Homely, comfortable, clean, spacious, and everything you need! Lovely location, peaceful and perfect for dogs with the woodland walk just over the road (see photo) and plenty of other walks nearby. Easy access to Durham, pleasant drive in. Nice, comfy, big bed too! We enjoyed our stay and stayed a couple of days longer! Clare was very helpful, caring, and kind 😊
Nothing, perfect stay. Highly recommended.

From the very moment that we walked into the home, we felt very welcomed by the inviting nature of the property and the snacks that she kindly left for us. The bedrooms are on the large size for the UK, and we enjoyed the spacious nature of their rooms and of the home. It was very easy to warm the property. We found it to be quiet and peaceful. There were some nice areas to walk around the area. The pictures show the property to be lovely - We found the property to be even better than the pictures indicated. It exceeded our expectations. Also, the quality of the bedding was really good. There was plenty of free parking available within a few steps of the home.
We unfortunately did not have a chance or time to try the pub which was less than a minute walk away, which also looked very inviting every time we walked past it.

Lovely house, spacious for a family of four and very clean. Easy parking at the front of the property, reasonably short journey to Durham city centre (~20 mins).
We didn't find anything to dislike.

It was beautifully furnished, very well equipped, in a great location - and with the most comfortable bedrooms you could wish for. All you could ask, for a very reasonable price - our group loved staying at Colliery Cottage and would definitely do so again. Nothing negative to say about it at all.

Colliery Cottage was like the Tardis... an unassuming 2 up 2 down terrace on the outside but when you step in - wow!
The whole property has been refurbished at some point to a very high standard and is beautifully presented throughout.
Everything you're likely to need is there... crockery, cutlery, cooking utensils, towels, hairdryer and even complimentary toiletries!
Parking was easy and convenient as the little street outside the row of cottages runs parallel to the road so the only people to use it are the residents.
There's a nice traditional pub serving food literally a 30 second walk away!
We would definitely recommend this cottage as a lovely, relaxing place to stay.
There's nothing we didn't like (well maybe the weather but that's not the proprietor's fault 😄)

Absolute 10/10. Amazing value for money, beautiful clean and dog friendly home. Comfortable beds with heavy duvets. HUGE smart TV in the living room. Snacks in the kitchen were a lovely touch. The host Clare is AMAZING! Available to contact any time, and even gave me a lift to the village to get some bits as I woke up with a horrible cold. The heating is on 3 times daily so it doesn't get cold which is great in this weather! Lovely location to take the dog.
Not sure if it was because he's never felt fake grass before, but my spaniel hopped the back wall looking for somewhere to pee and got a bit lost and scared me to death so keep an eye on your animals in the garden, but that's a me problem and nothing to do with the place. Can be awkward to get around if you don't drive as its a rural area! I should have researched that better, but was great to get away from city life and my spaniel absolutely loved it.

It was spotlessly clean and looked immaculate. There was a lovely goody bag full of treats which was a nice surprise. Great location with a lovely view of horses in a field. There was also a lovely pub just down the road serving good pub grub.
We didn’t like the check out time of 10am on a Sunday and the block capital notice telling you to be out by 10am put us on edge.

The cottage was lovely and very spacious! Everything you could possibly need was on hand and it was spotlessly clean. The host was very friendly and answered any queries we had. Parking was available right outside the property and there was an area at the back to be able to sit outside. The welcome pack was a really lovely addition too 😊
Only the weather!

It was just a perfect place to stay.
The house was spotless, the rooms, living room and dining room are decorated nicely. Easy to check in and the location was perfect too.
Only 15mins to centre of Durham and so many options to walk my dog around the house.
Nothing to complain

The Cottage was extremely clean and very comfortable. The Royal Oak pub is just a few doors away. The food is very good and reasonably priced.
Our host at the cottage (Clare) provided us with lots of information to make our stay even more enjoyable.
Nothing; we had an excellent stay at Colliery Cottage.

What a lovely place to stay. Clare made us feel very welcome in her lovely comfortable cottage. It's a spacious place with high quality fittings in a pleasant location close to an excellent, down to earth pub with great food.
There was nothing we didn't like.

We choose the property because it gives good access to the North Penines, Yorkshire Dales etc. We stayed here previously and returned partly because of the location and partly for the quality of the accomodation.
Smart TV would be a nice addition

A spacious house with all you need for a few nights stay.large comfy bed a blackout curtains made for a good night's sleep.a wood straight across the road for walking dogs.
The 2 sofas in the living room in my opinion weren't very big or comfy but that's probably because 4 people were using them

Upon arrival and meeting Clare our host, we couldn’t have asked for anything more. Very welcoming , beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean home with everything you could possibly need for your stay. Cottage is situated in a very quiet small terrace location with an outstanding village pub on the end, which serves delicious home cooked food and better still a “lovely friendly welcome “. If we’d have had any issues ( which we didn’t ) then Clare was always available and on hand living locally.
We honestly didn’t have ANY complaints/ issues at all.
Perfect in every way.
