Wynbec cottage is superb, it has everything you need for an enjoyable holiday. The finish and furnishing are of a high quality, with an eclectic design taste re decorations! The beds are comfy, the sofa is amazing with its reclining seats, never stayed in a cottage like it for the quality and comfort of furnishing! There is an enclosed courtyard which is lovely just to sit with a cuppa and consider the day! Unfortunately we did have an issue with the shower flooding the downstairs, but the owners are aware and hopefully will be rectifying the situation going forward. There is a lovely cafe directly opposite, had a couple of brekkies in there before our days out!There is a nice pub 1.1 miles away called the Cross Keys Inn, again had a couple of dinners there, good value and portions, the fillet steak just melted in your mouth!Had some great days out, Bowes Museum, Durham, Hadrians Wall, High & Low Force waterfalls, Arnside shopping with a number of out of town shops, M & S, large Sainsburys etc.All in all a fantastic place to stay, would love to return and stay again!!
