Summary: The lodge was perfect. Spotlessly clean and pretty and everything you could need. However what made our holiday absolutely perfect was the garden the lodge is set in. Stunningly beautiful, magical grounds that you could see from all sides of the lodge. With a folly perfect for an outdoor fire and BBQ. Central to all of the North East and Durham attractions. I have been twice now and can’t wait to go again. Magical!

Summary: Wow - what a brilliant stay! Not only was the property uniquely amazing, but Kenny and Glad are also the most fantastic hosts. In fact I've never stayed in a place like it. My family (and energetic young dog) loved their garden. We even roasted marshmallows at the fireplace in the outdoor castle folly on our last night, in the moonlight! it was magical. And the location is great too. We took the family on a beautiful countryside walk for a Sunday pub lunch before heading into Bishop Auckland (which is packed full of history and character). So if you're heading to the North East - definitely stay here!

Summary: We had a fabulous time in this wonderful accommodation. The hosts Glad and Kenny are indescribably great people, so friendly, so accommodating and helpful. The Lodge is beautifully illustrated by the pictures. The garden is a very special treasure, but the living area is also superbe and very cozy. The other rooms are small and functional, but all thoughtfully furnished. The location is convenient: trips to Durham, the Lake District, the North Yorkshire Moors, Rielvaux Abbey, Scarborough and Whitby are all within easy reach. Edinborough was too far for us. We'll probably have to come back for that...

Summary: We stayed with our 6 year old when going to Kynren and so glad we did. This is truly a hidden gem. We had such a relaxing stay and loved exploring the peaceful, beautiful garden. Our hosts, Glad and Kenny were friendly, helpful and we have reccomended to many of our friends and family to go and experience this little slice of heaven.

Summary: Fantastic lodge, very clean, well equipped and the kids loved playing in the garden. We were made to feel very welcome. This is a great location for visiting the surrounding area including Durham, Barnard castle, Bishop Auckland, High Force, Kynren etc. Hope to visit again in the near future.

Summary: A wonderful place and helpful and friendly hosts and Johnny Depp looking after the grass cutting! We had an assortment of weather but only minor problems, a few drips from the conservatory roof in the noisy downpour and it got a bit warm in the hot sunshine - but thats because we couldnt leave the door open as our 2 dogs would have found a way into the fields. A truly magical garden with follies and lovely nooks and crannies. Bird feeders next to the conservatory kept us entertained. Just 1 suggestion would be a little gate to secure the rear patio area - for those people who have dogs like ours! We really enjoyed our stay and may return next year to see the bell tower!
