Exceedingly homely, lovely and eco-friendly

This charming Victorian house in the heart of County Durham was built in 1860 for Joseph Pease, the UK’s first Quaker MP, for his senior mine managers, and now offers the very warmest of welcomes. This ‘home from home’, near to the North Pennines National Landscape, has attractive grounds with views over the Wear Valley and beyond.

Ample parking is available. Drive through stone gateposts, park by wisteria-clad outhouses and be welcomed by your hosts. Then enjoy tea and home-made biscuits in the cosy guest sitting room, conservatory or patio, depending on the weather. (It is, of course, ALAWYS sunny in County Durham…)

Classically furnished, every nook and cranny house parts of an eclectic book collection. Bed and breakfast guests will enjoy an award-winning breakfast in the elegant dining room, which is adorned with portraits of family forebears.

The comfortable bedrooms are individually furnished, all with en suite facilities and pleasant views, thoroughly warmed through the winter months by wood-pellet fired central heating. Quality linen, great showers, tea/coffee tray with home-made goodies, stylish toiletries and flat screen digital televisions all make for a restful stay.

NEW! Bring your electric car. We have a 7Kwh charger that fits most types and can charge your car while you sleep. See our website for further details.
