I stayed in the henhouse. This was a very large dwelling place with a full kitchen in living room and a very large bedroom. It’s perfect for a family or a solo person just needing a couple of days where they can cook along their travels. It’s located in a beautiful area, the owners have sheep and a farm but it’s still very quiet. You can park right outside of the front door. ##### Faith Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sean May 25, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Spider nest Wonderful place and concur with all the reviews except; the cleanliness of our room, the hen house. Webs and cobwebs all over the place, many occupied. I had to get the hoover in the bathroom to get rid of 5 big spiders, and their webs. The cobwebs all over the place have been there a long time. This wonderful place is seriously let down by unacceptably poor housekeeping. The windows, sills etc have accumulated so much filth; this is neglect. If you are afraid of spiders then don't come here as this will be your worst horror movie. ##### Sean Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert Aug 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay Have been here several times over the years cant fault the property ##### Robert Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### TIMOTHY Sep 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely accommodation in a beautiful place with a warm welcome. ##### TIMOTHY Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### William Sep 24, 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Property could have been great but sadly was a little tired and uncared for. ##### William Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### David Aug 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Adrquate Nice first impressions, but cooker not great, basic equipment.

It is 5 minutes by car from Lanchester with good pubs, restaurants and shops, and only 15 minutes drive to Durham or the Beamish Museum, or 30 minutes to Newcastle. It is in excellent walking country, an ideal base for a week or more. The rooms are cosy but not too small, well-equipped and clean. The hostess could not have been more helpful, fixing a couple of minor gripes or omissions. Rates are reasonable. We will return! ##### Mike Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Timothy Jul 29, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Hen House the owner was very friendly and helpful. The accommodation was a little dated and cold have done with a few more crockery items.The shower was a bit dangerous if you had children as it could get very hot.Overall it was acceptable for the price we paid. Wifi was ok but could only get a good reception in the bedroom. ##### Timothy Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jade, Slough May 29, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely cottages beautiful scenery.

Our accommodation was very spacious, designed for up to 9 people sharing although there were only 3 of us. Comfy living room with a dining area and open kitchen; disabled friendly. In the living room there was a nice looking fireplace, no real fire though. The television was a bit small for the size of the room and the free view was not working very well; only a few channels were accessible, the others were crashing constantly. The kitchen was well equipped in everything you might need in a self-catering place. The beds were comfy but a bit too soft for me. The whole place had an excellent heating so despite all cold weather we were cosy and warm inside. The only issue with the boiler was hot water in showers. Especially in the evening it was almost impossible to get hot shower, although all taps were fine for this. No idea what the problem was. Another little thing was the cleanliness... I have no idea how that place managed to keep 4 stars. Dust was everywhere, the top of the fridge, inside of the fridge-freezer, room corners, showers and the bath and even the interior doors were just dirty and looked like nobody gave them a proper clean for a long time. If I had something like that in a 4 star hotel, I would complain to the manager. But at the Hamsteels Hall there was actually nobody to talk to most of the time. It is a working farm and the owners are just busy with other things. Staying at the farm had its ##### E Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary, Milton Keynes Aug 30, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highly Recommended We stayed in the Hen House, which is a lovely, one bedroom cottage across the yard from the main building. The cottage itself is beautifully decorated and well furnished with plenty of room for sitting down to chat or watch TV in the evening and a separate dining area with table and chairs for four people. The kitchen is small but perfectly good for cooking a simple evening meal. The bedroom is also nicely furnished and decorated and the beds (one double and one single) are very comfortable. The area, very rural, is quite beautiful and there are villages a few miles in either direction for shops/restaurants. The owners are friendly and helpful. I'm so glad we found it. ##### Mary Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 13, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great base for exploring Durham and its surrounds Easy to get to beautiful quite location ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Seaside Cove Static Holiday Home a perfect seaside getaway with private hot tub](https://www.expedia.ca/Mablethorpe-Hotels-Seaside-Cove-Static-Holiday-Home-A-Perfect-Seaside-Getaway-With-Private-Hot-Tub.h67626752.Hotel-Information) > > [The George Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Penrith-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h1594759.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pearl Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-The-Pearl-Hotel.h6335144.Hotel-Information) > > [Geckos Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Newquay-Hotels-Geckos-Rest.h15179653.Hotel-Information) > > [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > > [Eskdale Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Sale-Hotels-Eskdale-Lodge.h11974771.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lindisfarne Inn - The Inn Collection Group](https://www.expedia.ca/Berwick-Upon-Tweed-Hotels-The-Lindisfarne-Inn.h28969020.Hotel-Information) > > [Parkview Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/High-Wycombe-Hotels-Parkview-Apartments.h32463857.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel St Ives](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Ives-Hotels-St-Ives-Harbour-Hotel.h175599.Hotel-Information) > > [Macdonald Tickled Trout Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Preston-Hotels-Macdonald-Tickled-Trout-Hotel.h19091.Hotel-Information) > > [Pretty cottage with enclosed patio and private hot tub with stunning veiws](https://www.expedia.ca/Otley-Hotels-Pretty-Cottage-With-Enclosed-Patio-And-Private-Hot-Tub-With-Stunning-Veiws.h58066446.Hotel-Information) > > [Berts Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Appleby-In-Westmorland-Hotels-Berts-Cottage.h30997888.Hotel-Information) > > [The George](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h45140643.Hotel-Information) > > [Foundry 34](https://www.expedia.ca/Penrith-Hotels-Foundry-34.h15685642.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Peterborough-Marriott-Hotel.h691233.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pelican Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Marlborough-Hotels-The-Pelican-Inn.h12385143.Hotel-Information) > > [Friars House, Stafford by BELL Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Stafford-Hotels-Friars-House.h100973898.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Hotel Ross On Wye by Greene King Inns](https://www.expedia.ca/Ross-On-Wye-Hotels-Royal-Hotel-Ross-On-Wye-By-Greene-King-Inns.h1928.Hotel-Information) > > [Saracens Head Towcester by Greene King Inns](https://www.expedia.ca/Towcester-Hotels-Saracens-Head-Towcester-By-Greene-King-Inns.h1381616.Hotel-Information) > > [Stapleford Park Country House Hotel and Sporting Estate](https://www.expedia.ca/Melton-Mowbray-Hotels-Stapleford-Park-Country-House-Hotel-And-Sporting-Estate.h459185.Hotel-Information) > > [Newmarket Boutique Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Newmarket-Hotels-Newmarket-Boutique-Apartments.h3522773.Hotel-Information) > > [Wisteria House B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Chippenham-Hotels-Wisteria-House-BB.h53797442.Hotel-Information) > > [Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Low-Wood-Bay.h5243.Hotel-Information) > > [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > > [The White Hart Royal Hotel, Moreton-in-Marsh](https://www.expedia.ca/Moreton-In-Marsh-Hotels-White-Hart-Royal-Hotel.h3848404.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Scarborough-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h44509462.Hotel-Information) > > [YotelAIR London Gatwick ](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Yotel-Air-London-Gatwick.h18969729.Hotel-Information) > > [Dawn Chorus Holidays](https://www.expedia.ca/Beccles-Hotels-Dawn-Chorus-Holidays.h11826380.Hotel-Information) > > [Tides Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Pevensey-Hotels-Tides-Cottage.h42241061.Hotel-Information)
