Host & Stay | The Old Rectory
Summary:
This exceptional former rectory has been renovated to a 5* standard, allowing its character to flow through the property perfectly. With five bedrooms, four bathrooms and extensive gardens including a tennis court, this stunning holiday home will provide a truly unforgettable stay with memories that will last a lifetime. Sleeping up to ten guests, this dog friendly property is ideal for family gatherings and friendly get togethers.
The Space:
The Old Rectory has been recently refurbished to the highest standard. With premium furnishings and beautiful finishes, you can expect a truly luxurious stay.
Head to the living room and you’ll find a comfortable space with velvet sofas and statement chairs. Turn on the flat screen TV to keep up with your favourite shows or spend quality time with your loved ones.
The property has a spacious open plan living and dining area. A real social hub, this space is great for relaxing with your party. The dining area includes a large table with seating for up to 10 guests.
Fully equipped for self-catering stays, the kitchen has everything you could need to prepare meals easily. Shaker in style, the dove grey cabinets are super stylish and in keeping with the rest of the decor in the property.
The Old Rectory boasts five spacious bedrooms. There is a bedroom on the ground floor with a king size bed. The rest of the bedrooms are located on the first floor and they include a king, a twin, an ensuite king and ensuite double.
There is a shower room on the ground floor and the main bathroom is located upstairs.
Outside you’ll find extensive gardens with outdoor furniture. The perfect spot for a morning coffee or an evening tipple, the garden is a real added bonus to this beautiful property.
Host & Stay are committed to our owners that their homes are protected during guest bookings. For this reason, we require all our guests to transfer a Damage Deposit (refundable, subject to an administration charge) or, to purchase an Accidental Damage Waiver which will cover you for up to £500.00 of accidental damage during your stay.
Guest Access:
Guests have access to the full property. The keys to the property are accessed via a secure key safe and full details will be provided shortly before your arrival date.
There is ample private parking available at the property which is accessed via a gated private driveway.
The Neighborhood:
Named as ‘One of the Best Cities to Visit in 2020’, Durham is a beautiful and charming area within the North East. Known as the ‘perfect little city’, Durham has the best mix of everything and it all blends seamlessly. It retains its medieval heritage but it also has a modern and vibrant twist. It boasts lush green landscapes but it also has busy cobbled streets with independent shops, bars and restaurants.
Durham has plenty of history within its walls. One of the most spectacular historic sites is Durham Cathedral. Constructed between 1103 and 1133, this towering building is a shining example of Norman architecture. The cathedral is now the oldest surviving building with a stone vaulted ceiling of such a large scale.
Getting Around:
The centre of Durham is a short ten-minute drive from The Old Rectory.
Durham train station is 5-minute drive away so nearby towns and cities can easily be reached via rail. There’s also a taxi rank in close proximity to the train station.
There are plenty of bus routes throughout Durham. Hop on the Arriva 6 route to visit Barnard Castle or the number 22 which travels through Seaham and Sunderland.
Other Things to Note:
We welcome 1 medium size, well behaved dog.
