Pet-friendly, self contained, calm.

IMPORTANT: roadworks elsewhere can occasionally cause additional traffic to pass the flat during peak times until October, but it is lovely and quiet here during the night. Cathedral, castle or Oriental museum? Durham’s world heritage sites are just a short drive or bus ride away. Kitchenette, washer/drier, fast wi-fi, Netflix etc, car parking. Close to walks through woodland (5 minutes away), a trip into Durham (4 miles) or Newcastle (20 miles). Pets welcome. Supermarket 5 mins walk away. The space Come through your own front door to the kitchenette (hob, microwave, air-fryer, kettle, washer/drier, fridge etc). There will be tea and coffee for you, with basic crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils. Straight ahead is an area with hanging space, a table and chairs for dining or working and which could also be used as a place where your pet could sleep or where a child's cot/bed could be housed (bring your own cot, bed or pet mat); we have an additional small single bed in this room for an older child or an extra guest (although it is tight for an adult - see photograph), but you'll need to ask us for it and it does make things cramped (guests occasionally comment that the place is smaller than the photographs when they ask for the extra bed). Turn right and you'll find the main bedroom, with double bed and large-screen TV with online streaming services such as Netflix. Off the main bedroom is your own private bathroom, with thermostatic rain shower and separate hand shower, full size bath, toilet and basin. You'll find soap, towels and shampoo there too. Guest access There's a dedicated free car parking space here for you and you can leave your car here during the day if you wish - we're close to a good direct bus service into Durham and Newcastle or use the park and ride or city centre car parks. You can charge your EV overnight if you like with no fee, so long as you use your portable ("granny") charger and agree only to charge between 23:30 and 05:30. Other things to note There are significant roadworks on the A690 in Meadowfield at the moment and traffic is using the road outside the flat as a diversion. This means that traffic can cause disturbance during the day, but this stops overnight and the flat is quiet then. Unfortunately, due to a change in our provider's policy we are no longer able to offer free 7.4kW charging for an EV, but we will be happy for you to plug in your EV portable ("granny") charger during your stay. There will be no fee for that, so long as you agree to charge your car only between 23:30 and 05:30. While we welcome dogs, we prefer them not to climb on (or in) the bed and we don’t allow pets to be left alone in the flat. We have all hard floors, so do bring a basket or rug for your pet. The garden is relatively secure for dogs to play freely , but escape is possible over the raised gravel bed near the flat window! We have a dog of our own who plays in the garden, so please don't send your dog out on their own. We power the flat as far as we can by sustainable solar power.
