we were down from Scotland with a young man who has autism and is also deaf. It was the perfect location for diggerland. The cross keys pub were absolutely amazing with our young man, and was so refreshing to see. The accommodation was in quiet location and perfect for us and even more perfect for a family. I will be booking again personally when I bring my youngest son down to diggerland. Beds very comfy 👌

It was very clean and had everything you needed. The lazy spa was just what the doctor ordered after a day of sightseeing in Durham. If we wanted to eat out we had options as everything is within walking/short driving distance. The bed was super comfy, one of the best nights sleep I have had in a long time.
