Very nice and clean property with all the facilities with lots of information. The owner must have work very hard to for the hosts.
Calm and peaceful neighbourhood feel very safe with close distances of all amenities.
Definitely will recommend to anyone travelling with own transport.

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 .

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.

Village is a great location to explore from
Improvements:
Master bedroom is a small double
Pubs in village not dog friendly
Next time we would choose an enclosed garden for dog to 'pop' out
Some Road noise

Enjoyed our stay here. Good facilities and equipment. No dishwasher and a very small hand basin in the shower room. Small shower too for the space available.

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.

The cottage was fantastic and had everything we needed for our stay. It is clean & comfortable, nicely decorated and very well equipped. Great for families with bunk beds, toys and books. The welcome pack was a really nice touch. We would definitely stay here again and will be recommending it to anyone else who wants to stay in the area.

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.

This is a lovely, cosy, and warm house in a nice location. The house is really well equipped with everything you need. It is is spacious and we found it very relaxing.

A great base to explore this part of the world! The cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed for 4 adults and 2 kids to enjoy spending New Year together. Plenty of space for everyone, and a well-equipped kitchen.
Co-op, bakery and playpark in the village all very handy and we discovered a lovely walk towards Dragonville along cycle route 14. Lynne kindly left the Christmas decorations up for us, a high chair & cot, and a welcome pack with a handy mixture of basics (variety pack for the kids and real coffee) and treats. Would definitely stay again.

This is a lovely 3 bedroom 2 bathroom cottage in a quiet location. It is really handy for Beamish and Durham and has a couple of great food pubs a five minute drive away. One of the best hosts I have had, very responsive and high quality information. The accommodation is high quality, really thoughtful welcome pack, well equipped and warm. I could highly recommend for anyone visiting the local area.
