James and Hazel are without a doubt the coolest, kindest and generous hosts you could ever ask for! Country house is beautiful, lots of light, warmed up easily, it was spotless, fresh smelling and you can tell the house is well maintained. It's private, cosy and comfortable. Stones throw away from a great little classic pub called the Wheel Inn. Bowes 10 minute drive away is a busy little spot! Great food, service! We absolutely loved our time in James and Hazel's country home! The alpacas were hilarious and the two miniature sheep were gas! Hon Ted and Doughal!!! Honestly great experience, loved the surroundings and will without a doubt stay here again! 10/10
