Stopped for 2nights to visit Beamish and then Durham. Stopped in the granary. Plenty room, lovely and clean. June was very helpful and her local knowledge was excellent. Location wise it was 20 mins ride to Beamish and the same for Durham centre. Local shops and pubs in Lanchester about 10 mins by car.

The Bull Pen was very comfortable, clean and tidy. A good size for 2/3 people. Ideal for a few days away. The location was really good for our visit.

Three-night stay. Wish it were longer. Quiet and relaxing. Friendly but unobtrusive from owner June. She even offered us 25% off vouchers for local events.

We had a lovely home from home stay in spacious accommodation while visiting relatives in the area. Nothing was too much for June & Frank to sort for us. Waking up to beautiful countryside in a peaceful setting was just what we needed. We will be back. Dorothy & Martin

We stayed for two nights, Friday and Saturday. We were going to the Rugby Magic Weekend and needed somewhere close to family and easy access for travelling to Newcastle. Hamsteels ticked both boxes.

We were playing golf in the County Durham golf trail event and used the cottage as our base, ideal location between the courses , easy drive each day back and forth.

We were visiting family members and had previously stayed in travel lodge in Durham, which we felt was cold,noisy and overpriced. Hamsteels was very comfortable and beautifully clean, quiet, 15 minutes out of Durham but easy to find. The price was very reasonable and we were upgraded to a bigger cottage which was available.

The app didn’t make it clear about the check in procedures. Messaged the host several times via my Vrbo account, asking about access to property. Tried to ring the property but the phone number wouldn’t work and no reply on email.
Vrbo help line thought it was “good news” that they had emailed the property manager and I might get an answer the day of our departure. I eventually found a website with the owner/host mobile number. I spoke to the owner/host and was reassured the cottage was unlocked and we could access it when we arrived. When I pointed out to the owner/host that it might be a good idea to include her mobile phone number with Vrbo, she had no idea who Vrbo was.
This experience was very stressful and frustrating.
I’ll probably never use or recommend Vrbo ever again.

We stayed in The Bull Pen a 1 bedroom cottage. A lovely spacious cottage, lovely sized bathroom with a large shower, nice sized double bedroom,with plenty of room to hang your clothes in the large wardrobe. Only issues I had was the mattress was very soft and lumpy,and the bathroom bin hadn’t been emptied from the last visitors.
Wi-Fi was hit and miss but really not an issue.
We will definitely go back as it’s so lovely and peaceful
