A self-contained 2 bedroom apartment in the beautiful hamlet of Cornsay, County Durham. The accommodation has 2 large bedrooms with a shared bathroom between them. Room 1 has a double bed plus bunk beds of which the bottom bunk is also a double. Room 2 has a single bed plus identical bunk with the bottom bunk being a double. Bathroom has separate bath and shower cubicle.
Fully fitted kitchen / dining area plus lounge with log burner is in the main building accessed via the courtyard. This area is completely private to the group ho have booked and is not shared with myself or any other guests.
50 something bachelor. Outgoing ex-rugby player. Love where I live and life in general.
Hobbies include gardening, cooking (both indoors and BBQing in the courtyard) watching sport, wine-tasting, travelling, creative writing, popping out to the local and the occasional game of poker !
I live on the same site as the AirBnB stay but the entrances are separate so I find that after checking-in and my initial ‘Meet and Greet’ the guests and I don’t really need to see each other. However am always on hand for any questions and help plus tips and local information and even if I’m not in, I always tell guests that I’m contactable by phone or text 24/7
The village itself is very quiet and peaceful (only 17 houses)
Close to neighbouring villages Lanchester (3 miles) and Esh Winning (3 miles) for all amenities.
Lots of opportunities for walking and cycling.
Durham city centre is approx 9 miles away.
Newcastle is approx 15 miles away.
Amongst other attractions nearby is Beamish Museum (8 miles)
Hall Hill farm is an award winning children’s visitor attraction with all the usual farm animals (plus baby animals) only a mile away
Guests park to the right of the gatepost (usually next to my car - blue Jaguar)
Space for 3 + cars.
There are local taxi firms available if guests wish to return from a night out.
