Meadow View House Reviews

Jordan
Their attention to detail is fantastic, honestly, we're already planning to come back!
Sam Taylor
From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel really welcome. When the water main burst a few days in, they were quick to help, which we genuinely appreciated. The location is perfect - nestled in gorgeous countryside with stunning views of Durham moorland, yet just a short walk into Lanchester with its pubs and eateries. The property itself is well-equipped, with a hot tub, outdoor dining, barbecue, fire pitand even a quirky Harry Potter cupboard! It's a great spot for a relaxing break.
Emma Clarke
We had such a lovely stay at this cottage! It's really well-equipped, with everything you could think of and more. The space was perfect for our group of 10 celebrating a birthdayand the owner was genuinely helpful and eager to hear if we had any suggestions. The location is ideal-private enough for a peaceful break but close to Lanchester and some great walks. Definitely a place we'd come back to!
James
We had a fantastic stay at this house! It really is spacious enough for a group of 10and the kitchen is fully stocked - chefs will love it. The outdoor area is perfect when the weather's nice - a lovely spot for dinner or relaxing by the fire pit with a drink. The owners go above and beyond to make sure everything's perfect. Location's great too, especially if you're into cycling - the railway trail behind the house offers miles of traffic-free riding. Highly recommend!
Emma Carter
Honestly, this holiday home was fantastic for our family get-together. The five bedrooms with en-suites made everything so comfortable, especially for our multi-generation group. Everything inside was really high quality and well-stocked, which we appreciated. The hot tub was a highlightand the garden was lovely to relax in. We also enjoyed walking along the Lanchester Valley Path nearby. For the birthday celebration, we hired Mike, the chef Lucy recommendedand the meal was absolutely delicious. We'd definitely recommend it to others looking for a special stay!
Emily
We had a fantastic stay at this place! The house was spotless, comfyand had loads of practical touches that made our stay easy. The welcome was warm and friendly, which we really appreciated. The local eateries were all top-notch, making dining out a pleasure. We loved relaxing, taking walksand just enjoying the company of friends without any stress. We definitely plan to return soon - there's still so much of the area we want to explore. Definitely a place we'd recommend!
Emma
We had a great stay at this place! The house looks stunning and each room is beautifully decorated, with some really interesting touches. The welcome hamper was a lovely surpriseand the hot tub was just what we needed after a long day. Lucy, the owner, was super helpful and friendly. Plus, it's in a great spot-closer to the village than we thought, so we could walk to some nice cafes and restaurants easily. Would definitely return!
