Lovingly designed and hand-built on a family farm, the pods are close to historic Durham (20 minutes’ drive) and all manner of family attractions. Breath-taking views of Durham Valley farmland can be spied from all the windows of the ultra-spacious pods. Each sleeps up to four people in total comfort, with hot showers in the en-suite bathroom (bed linen, towels, bathroom products, robes and slippers are all provided). In the dining and seating area, there’s ample space for chilled downtime in front of the smart TV with sound bar. The nattily designed open-plan kitchen has everything to make conjuring up meals a breeze: oven, microwave and fridge. Basic condiments and olive oils come as part of the package along with a (very) welcome hamper containing essentials like tea, coffee, pastries, juice and Prosecco. Outdoors, the pods each have private raised decking with farmland panoramas, plus picnic benches, barbecues and pizza ovens for leisurely alfresco dining under the stars. Everything you need is on hand, including cooking utensils, crockery, charcoal, logs and fire lighters. Extra-special touches include the Jacuzzis under wooden pergolas – ideal for use in all sorts of weather. When out and about exploring the place, you’ll see sheep and horses grazing in the fields and – if you’re lucky – Canada geese on the wildlife pond. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Dryer - Laundry facilities ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 377 square feet ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).
