We had a wonderful week at Osborne Villa. The house was so well presented, with plenty of room for all eight of us. The lovely flowers, bottle of wine and chocolates were a welcome surprise. Angela the owner was so helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had. The house was spotless, when we arrived and the photographs did not do it jRead moreustice. It had a real wow factor. Thel location was ideal for Beamish museum, which we visited several times during our stay. There were plenty of restaurants locally. Durham city was within easy reach. We would be delighted to return to the property in the near future. Hide

A beautiful house in a lovely location. You probably need a car but good local bus service. Hosts very accommodating and helpful, felt we could have asked anything. Really well equipped house, a home from home. We loved seeing the horses in the field behind garden. We had a brilliant stay and would love to re- visit.
