Orchard House Durham Reviews

Helen
Amazing house, so spacious and well equipped. The welcome pack was so thoughtful and unexpected, truly amazing. Everything just made our stay even better. This house was beyond our expectations and we have rebooked for next year already. Usually try different locations but this ticked all our boxes, so definitely coming back. Well done all the stafRead moref (so friendly) for making it do good. Loved the hot tub, beds so comfy, nice walksclose by and Sunday dinner at 61 next door amazing. Thanks Hide
Ray
We had a brilliant family stay at Orchard House. The house was clean, well equipped and the staff were super warm, welcoming and helpful. There is loads of space, the setting is beautiful and convenient for various highlights of the area. The TV and tablet allowed access to TV and music apps and the essentials of milk/juices/coffee pods/bread/fruitRead more/flowers/soaps were all much appreciated. This will be our new go to rental for the area. Loved it! Hide

Go Ape Northumberland - NE48 1NT
about 25 Miles
Go Ape! has really taken off and become one of the most popular attractions in the UK.  The Northumberland course is set in the stunning grounds of Matfin Hall.  Described as a high wire forest adventure this really is one for the more daring as the course takes place right up in the tree tops.  Giant tree top obstacle courses include ladders, bridges, tunnels and some of the country's best zip lines.  You will be provided with all safety equipment and training on site.
