  • "The property is beautiful & in a great location."

    We loved everything about it. The only feedback I would give is to consider cutting back the tree that hangs over the hot tub, we got hit on the head a couple of times by the cones

  • "Lovely bungalow and outdoor area."

    You can tell lots of thought went into the renovation. We were a group of 6 adults, 2 children and a dog, it was lovely and spacious and the outdoor area was stunning. Great location and easy to walk into the centre of Durham. Our only constructive feedback is it needs more utensils. We would definitely return, Thanks for a lovely stay x

  • "Fantastic stay at Arbour house, beautiful property, luxurious and very comfortable."

    Would definitely recommend and will definitely be returning. Would have really benefited from a tumble dryer to dry the towels ect after the hot tub. The dogs adored the freedom of the countryside as did we. The kids were never out of the hot tub and the views from there are to die for. Overall our little stay was exactly what we needed to celebrate family birthdays.

  • "Lovely property in a great location which has been decorated beautifully."

    5 minute drive into Durham and 30 minutes from Newcastle meaning there is plenty to do. Lots of local dog walking paths close by which was handy for our two dogs. Hot tub has a great view, would recommend this property to our friends and family.

Situated in one of the most beautiful counties of England, Durham city is one of the jewels in England’s crown. Dominated by the historic centre, a World Heritage Site, the city is home to magnificent Durham Cathedral, with its breath-taking vaulted ceiling and splendid architecture.

The city itself offers elegant buildings and fascinating narrow streets with excellent shopping, eating and drinking to suit all tastes. Add to that the ease of access to the rest of this historic county, “Land of the Prince Bishops”, and Durham has much to offer the discerning traveller, from Medieval castles to marvellous landscapes and scenic walks.
