    Brilliant comfortable cottage. Had everything that we needed. Lanchester nearby is an oasis of good eating places, so very easy to eat out. Lots of places to visit in the vicinity. Durham University Gardens, High Force waterfall, Washington Wetland Centre, Seaham Beach, Potters World zoo and Ushaw Historic House were all very good. The Dilston Physic garden wasn't the tranquil space that we expected. The cottage can be difficult to find as Knitsley is not in the maps and has no signs mentioning Knitsley. SatNav took us to the wrong place a couple of times, so be very careful with the address.

    Lovely cottage set in beautiful surroundings. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend the old stables. We wanted for nothing, everything thing we needed to make our holiday was thoughtfully provided, even a welcome pack which we enjoyed. It was lovely to wake up and see the horses and a scenic valley right in front of us. The cottage was clean and quiet which is a big plus for us.We will be back.
