Good location for park and ride into Durham and one junction down for Beamish Museum, excellent value as you get a full sized apartment on a ground floor, parking was right outside the front door / private car parking area.

This open-plan gem boasts two generously sized bedrooms, both conveniently situated on the ground floor for your comfort. Our newly fitted bathroom adds a touch of luxury to your stay. The kitchen is equipped with modern conveniences, including a built-in oven, hob and fridge freezer. You'll also find a microwave, kettle, and toaster, along with all the essentials you need. Enjoy a cosy night's sleep in our two comfortable beds, and rest assured you won't get cold with the automatic heating system that ensures a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout your stay. In the living room, relax on our new leather sofa and recliner chair while watching your favourite shows on the TV or indulging in some Xbox gaming or movie nights with our provided Xbox and DVD collection. There is also multiple board games and quizzes provided if that is more your thing! While our property is all on one level, making it accessible for most, please note that it may not be suitable for those fully reliant on wheelchairs, as we do not have a hoist and the shower is not adapted.

Finally, there is a car parking area situated directly outside the guesthouse, as seen on the pictures, which has 2 allocated spaces for yourself directly outside the guesthouse.
