The village of Brandon is a beautiful location for going for walks in the countryside and with a great pub/ restaurant called the Bay Horse Inn on 50m away it’s a perfect place to stay. The village is very close to the historic house, chapels and gardens of Ushaw and Brancepeth Castle, which are both excellent places to visit!! Would happily stay here again when visiting the area as it’s a perfect little hideaway!! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9F792F8916213D2BF85002EEEB1760D3EE80CAF71707116994436.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B8EA15ECEC8AE967F96D6EB26C2A52D511B26D7C1707116994370.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0B6243BB463E8CCA07830A6A493D7F148BF63C8D1707116993268.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C48F0377848D8C23A6902516447BF3267A6CAFC71707116993124.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Craig Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 27 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Compact but Perfect We were visiting Ushaw House and this cottage is perfect location for there, Durham and surround area.

We had a little trouble finding it. Was easy to check in and out of. The only suggestion I would make was to put the exterior patio lights on a timer so that they turn off at night— if it’s hot and you have the window open then you have all the light from the patio. But it was very clean and comfortable. ##### haesel Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gerald 26 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication What a gem! We loved our stay in The Hen House, it was beautifully designed and very well equipped. The location was ideal for us, only short drive into Durham, and a very short walking distance to The Pub and Kitchen where we ate one night. We were able to park directly in front, and we enjoyed sitting on the bench outside the house to enjoy the sunshine. Brilliant! ##### Gerald Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 2 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Well equiped cottage close to Durham Overnight stay and much cheaper than in Durham itself. Large unit with a washer/dryer which was extremely useful on a long trip. Good view from bedroom window, nice pub across the road. Friendly host. Would also have been good for a longer stay. Only suggestion would be a clearly visible name plate as it was hard to tell which house was which. ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacob 10 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication I found the property very well laid out , comfortable bed , good water pressure to the ground floor shower.

However, the cleanliness of the cottage could have been better we found there was rose petals and drinks bottles around and under the bed along with hair from previous people on the carpets. However, overall was lovely with private off street parking and the owner is lovely. ##### Gemma Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 24 Mar 2021 Liked: Room comfort, communication #### The loft Was quite hard to find but after about 40 mins and a phone call to the owner we found it. A lot of renovation work being done to the property around the loft which we booked so was a little noisy. The loft which was a lovely place, milk and tea and coffee and biscuits left for us which was lovely. Lovely modern place. Bathroom was a little dirty. Bed was really comfortable. It could do with a lot of touch ups around the place but overall an okay stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Craig, Somerset 26 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Excellent communication, particularly at such short notice. Quiet and safe location, but still close to Durham. Collecting the keys couldn’t have been any easier! Great facilities at the property, perfect for a short stay! ##### Craig Stayed 1 night in Mar 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 20 Dec 2019 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness It’s in a perfect location and is a really lovely property. It was just absolutely filthy when I stayed. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ursula 7 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely flat in a very quiet area We only stayed for one night but found everything was to our liking, especially the cake that was left for us. It made us forget that the bed was not made. But it was a lovely bed. Our grandson got a very good note at the end of his studies. Success all round. ##### Ursula Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 2 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Small but nice :) Great little place to relax and perfect for an overnight stop over. Easy to find and good access to Durham. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### david 17 Nov 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Quality stay Clean and comfortable, plenty facilities Fully equipped kitchen. Helpful owner. ##### david Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tania, Mount Eliza, Victoria, Australia 18 Sept 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely new clean place A little tricky to find. The map and directions given in Expedia take you to the wrong side of the road and about 4-5 properties too soon. We had to call the owner, to go the final 30 metres or so. The ‘Hen House’ was really a self-contained, stand alone unit. It had a dishwasher, washer/dryer, TV, comfy bed and great shower. Not sure how easy to reach without a car but we were only about 5 mins drive from Durham city centre. It was loads cheaper than staying in town and after a few weeks of travelling and having to hand wash items, it was great to do a couple of loads of washing and get it dry. ##### Tania Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Crafted at Powdermills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Battle-Hotels-Powdermills-Country-House-Hotel.h195688.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Camping Pods - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Pinewood-Apinall-Foundation.h40101599.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature Sheffield Quays Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sheffield-Hotels-The-Quays-Hotel-Sheffield.h46197620.Hotel-Information) > > [White Hart, Exeter by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-White-Hart.h11899395.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stables Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Stables-Whitby.h23322490.Hotel-Information) > > [Samsara Retreat and Yoga - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone-Hotels-Samsara-Retreat-And-Yoga.h41349775.Hotel-Information) > > [Cromer Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cromer-Hotels-Cromer-Country-Club.h1927781.Hotel-Information) > > [The Skipton Hotel - Formerly Hotel Rendezvous](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skipton-Hotels-Hotel-Rendezvous.h41466.Hotel-Information) > > [Bear Lodge - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Bear-Lodge-Aspinall-Foundation.h40101484.Hotel-Information) > > [Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-Exeter-Rougemont-Hotel-By-Sunday.h7784.Hotel-Information) > > [Crow Wood Hotel & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burnley-Hotels-Crowwood-Hotel-Spa-Resort.h38222710.Hotel-Information) > > [Skegness The Royal Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel-Skegness.h23931999.Hotel-Information) > > [Soar Mill Cove Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Soar-Mill-Cove-Hotel.h2042032.Hotel-Information) > > [Seven Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southend-On-Sea-Hotels-Seven-Hotel.h19282555.Hotel-Information) > > [Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Milton-Hotels-Chewton-Glen-Hotel-Spa.h528432.Hotel-Information) > > [OYO Shanklin Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shanklin-Hotels-OYO-Shanklin-Beach-Hotel.h7539838.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton London Elstree](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Borehamwood-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-London-Elstree.h18549.Hotel-Information) > > [Mermaid, Ipswich by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ipswich-Hotels-Mermaid.h31883430.Hotel-Information) > > [Donnington Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sevenoaks-Hotels-Donnington-Manor-Hotel.h865829.Hotel-Information) > > [The Swan Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wells-Hotels-The-Swan-Hotel.h26791.Hotel-Information) > > [The Aviator, formerly Smugglers Cove, Clacton On Sea by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clacton-On-Sea-Hotels-Smugglers-Cove-By-Marstons-Inns.h35853904.Hotel-Information) > > [Yeoldon House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bideford-Hotels-Yeoldon-House.h2764122.Hotel-Information) > > [Brock Cottage private Hot Tub DOG/Cat FRIENDLY\* with on site fishing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pickering-Hotels-Spacious-Stone-Cottage-DOG-FRIENDLY.h36805890.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Canterbury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Canterbury.h66541221.Hotel-Information) > > [Wild Rose Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Appleby-In-Westmorland-Hotels-Wild-Rose-Caravan-Park.h24459296.Hotel-Information) > > [Lock Keeper, Worksop by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worksop-Hotels-Lock-Keeper.h27479298.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Leicester by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leicester-Hotels-Voco-Leicester.h76596043.Hotel-Information) > > [Canterbury Bell, Margate by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broadstairs-Hotels-Canterbury-Bell.h33103125.Hotel-Information) > > [Wild Thyme & Honey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-Wild-Thyme-Honey.h9241983.Hotel-Information) ---
