White House Cottages

Just came back from a nice chilled weekend in a lovely cottage the hen house. Owners very friendly and helpful, pub across the road is brilliant and very well priced for drinks and food. We definitely will be returning in the future and would highly recommend it to anyone

Lovely little cottage. Very compact but big enough for two people . Very clean and good communication from host prior to arrival. There is nothing in the village but you can find restaurants and bars nearby. I believe a pub is opening there soon which will be good. My only little concern is the bed. It’s a small double and very uncomfortable. I didn’t sleep for two nights and my hubby who can sleep anywhere found it very uncomfortable too. If the bed was changed I’d give it a 10/10.

We had a great time staying at this property it was a perfect place to stay as everything was only around a 20minute drive away we would definitely stay here again

A lovely property finished to a very high standard. Compact but sufficient for a couple.

What a gem! We loved our stay in The Hen House, it was beautifully designed and very well equipped. The location was ideal for us, only short drive into Durham, and a very short walking distance to The Pub and Kitchen where we ate one night. We were able to park directly in front, and we enjoyed sitting on the bench outside the house to enjoy the sunshine. Brilliant!

One of the comfiest beds ever! We had a lovely time, thank you!

A very lovely place to stay while in Durham. Plenty of amenities. Good communication. Great location the pub. Just a few houses up. Had quite amazing food as well. If you're in town for a while, make sure you check out this great opportunity.

We stayed in the 1 bed cottage & our friends stayed in the 2 bed next door. They are situated in a lovely village setting, Milk in the fridge & a box of biscuits were much appreciated on our arrival. Good off street parking & a good bus service into Durham City Centre. Great, welcoming pub across the road, good food & nice atmosphere ( they do breakfast too). The cottages had every thing you need for a short stay but we all agreed that there is room for some improvements to make the cottage a little more comfortable. The soft furnishings were well worn & a little grubby, beds so uncomfortable (maybe this is personal choice but we felt the beds along with the sofas, towels & bed linen could do with replacing) the general cleanliness was ok but then you start noticing the cobwebs etc, nothing major but the attention to detail would make these cottages go from ok to luxury. In the 2 bed cottage the smoke alarm was missing. Overall we had a good stay & the village setting , the owners friendliness etc is worthy of the rating given as the points I have noted can be so easily sorted.

Solo 1 night business stay loved the Hen House clean and quiet village atmosphere. Parking great in front of the property. Will definetly return again prefer this to a noisy hotel. Tesco and Lidl a short drive away.
