Summary: Glad and Kenny gave us a really nice welcome when we arrived even though it was late. They showed us round the property which was absolutely spotless. When it was light the next day we could see the lovely garden over breakfast. The house is in a secluded part of the garden. Really enjoyed our stay as we went into Durham for the day. We will definitely visit again.
