We loved our stay in the station house. Daryl was very welcoming and helpful and she kindly organised to get some laundry done for us. The bed was so comfortable and the bedroom was very quiet. The kitchen had everything that you would need and was spotless. The TV has lots of choices of channels. It is a great place to stay as you can do easy trips into Durham or day trips to the Yorkshire Dales. There is a lot of great walks nearby including a walking/cycle route that runs beside the house.

    Location for us was ideal as we needed a night between Darlington and Durham. Very clean, comfortable bed. Breakfast of toast and cornflakes left in room. I did not like the shared bathroom, although I knew it was going to be shared.

We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back
