Durham Holiday

This property is in an ideal location. The facilities were excellent, everything you could need was there. It was clean and comfortable. Lovely garden for our dog. Parking for two cars. Lots of take aways handy if you did not want to cook. Would recommend this to everyone. Will more than likely book again.
