Very cosy , warm and clean, lovely hosts

Warm comfortable and so peacefully quiet away from the maddening crowd

Harold gave us a very warm welcome and showed us into the house which we found to be a lovely comfortable, warm and well equipped guest house at Warlands Farm. It was great to also have the use of the spacious lounge and kitchen/dining room. We found the house bright and clean, with a newly refurbished interior. We loved watching the free range chickens in the garden..The farmhouse is in lovely countryside and is also very convenient if you plan to visit the Beamish museum which is 10 just minutes away.

Great location, excellent standard accommodation, friendly host. Highly recommended
