  • "The Dairy is a lovely, deceptively large, warm and comfy cottage; in fact one of the best in which we have stayed."

    There was ample space for four adults, an energetic 2 year old, an elderly Labrador and a lively Border Collie! The safe enclosed grassed garden was perfect for our grandson and dogs. The bedrooms are beautifully furnished and have quality bedding. En suite bathrooms on 2 of the bedrooms is a great bonus. The kitchen was a great family hub for us as we ate in each evening. Lots of public footpaths close by and short rides out to Hamsterley Forest and Auckland Castle were enjoyed by us all. Lovely, friendly owners are on hand next door if required, but not at all intrusive. Would certainly recommend The Dairy and hope to stay again in the future.

    Thank you so much for your lovely review. It was lovely to meet you and your dogs. We are glad you enjoyed every bit of the Dairy. It would be great if you would allow sykes to publish your review as this counts towards our overall rating. We would love to see you again soon. Property Owner

    Tranquillity and serenity make it even more special. Certainly among the best we have stayed in. We have already booked for next spring.

  • "From the start we loved our stay."

    The eggs and fresh milk was a lovely touch. The dairy was clean and well presented throughout. The beds were so comfy we did not want to leave. The dogs loved the garden. We would all definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone.

  • "Fantastic stay , lovely place, great downstairs bedroom and bathroom for my elderly Mother."

    Supermarkets and retail park just 10 minutes away. Front well enclosed lawn was great for our dog Pepper, she didn’t know what to make of the huge horse in the next field ha. Would definitely return.

  • "This is a lovely property in a great location."

    We managed to get to the coast (Whitby), over to the Lakes and north up to Alnwick. It was great coming back each day to a really comfortable cottage and putting our feet (and paws) up for the night, ready for another adventure the next day.

  • "Beautiful, spacious accommodation in a quiet, peaceful location."

    The Dairy is comfortable, well equipped with everything we needed and is immaculately clean. Great to have an enclosed courtyard and fenced sunny garden with plenty of easy parking for our 3 vehicles. Just to note the boundary adjoining the horses' field is not secure for little dogs.

  • "The property was perfect for us."

    We had 3 generations and the property provided comfort and cosiness to us all. It is in an idyllic setting, wonderfully decorated and everything provided that we would want and need. The owners are wonderfully kind, helpful and thoughtful and the animals were lovely to watch and meet. The location is near enough to a huge variety of things to do from waterfalls, to city, to beach to shopping outlet, and so much more in between. We've already booked to go back.

    Thank you for your lovely feed back, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for leaving the Dairy so clean and tidy.. We are looking forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

  • "The Dairy is a real gem!"

    We needed a nice place to stay for our sons graduation from Durham University and the Dairy did not disappoint. We loved the feel and cleanliness of the property, the sheep at the end of the garden and the welcome gifts of eggs and freshly made bread. Such a wonderful place and stay and the owners contact made everything really easy and simple without being intrusive. Would definitely recommend

  • "Light airy spacious cottage with everything you could possibly need."

    A lot of thought has gone into design and finish. 5 star accommodation. On a minor note no instructions for dishwasher and wood burning fire and noticed hoover could do with attention e.g new bag/filter; also clarity where to leave used towels /bedding on departure. Will definitely return and highly recommend.

    Thank you for your lovely review. And thank you for leaving the cottage immaculate! I appreciate your comments on the hoover and dishwasher instructions, which have now been remedied. Hoping the weather is now warm enough that the fire is not needed but instructions are now available. Property Owner

  • "Absolutely beautiful location, the pictures don’t do this idyllic little retreat justice."

    There were lots of lovely extra touches provided by Debbie & Sandra like fresh eggs, home baked bread and even biscuits for the dogs. We found some lovely places to visit locally and it was great to come back to such a peaceful and welcoming home from home. Have already been recommending The Dairy and we will be looking to book again.

    Thank you Laura, we are glad you enjoyed the Dairy and the local area. We really appreciate that you left the cottage clean and tidy and that you have been recommending it to your friends. Hope to see you again! Property Owner

  • "We had an amazing stay at the dairy - the photos really don’t do it justice!"

    It had everything we needed and more, the little ones loved the horses and chickens on site and Debbie and Sandra really went above and beyond to make our stay the perfect weekend. So many nice little touches and great communication. The dairy is in a beautiful location, quite peaceful and scenic. Hope we can come stay again some time. Thank you so much!

    Thank you for booking the Dairy and giving such a lovely review. We are very happy to hear you had a lovely time and had everything you needed. Thank you for leaving it clean and tidy. We hope to see you again. Property Owner

  • "This is a review I really don't want to write, simply because I'd like to keep knowledge of this place a secret!"

    From start to finish booking and staying at 'The Dairy' was a pleasure. The setting is peaceful, and the accommodation set out to a really high standard of cleanliness and comfort. The owners, Debbie and Sandra, live next door and couldn't have been more helpful, even down to the provision of home baked sourdough bread and eggs from their own hens! All being well we will certainly be booking to stay her again!

    Thank you for your lovely review. Please don't keep it a secret, tell all your friends! Thank you for leaving the Dairy so spotless, we really appreciate it. Property Owner

    Absolutely stunning inside and so spacious. The decor was beautiful with so many lovely touches and everything we needed. The enclosed garden was perfect and a great size, we could leave the door open without worrying about the dog escaping. The beds were so comfortable too, we all had a great night sleep. We will definitely be returning.

    Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay in our cottage. Property Owner
