“Beautiful cottage”
Had an amazing stay. Carol and Brian were great hosts and were so friendly and welcoming. The garden is beautiful with a lovely summerhouse and we had full use if it. The weather was really good so we took advantage. The place was immaculate with top quality bedding and towels and a very well equipped kitchen. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

“Lovely cottage and gardens, nice hosts and pet friendly.”
Comfortable well equipped cottage in Sherburn Village near Durham. Good location for exploring the attractions of county. The hosts were very amenable, available without being intrusive, and helpful. The courtyard and gardens were colourful and restful with comfortable seating and a useful summerhouse. The booking process was seamless, the cottage was easy to find, and the price was reasonable. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night break. We would certainly return and have no hesitation in recommending Dove Cottage to anyone wishing to vacation in the region.
