A little tricky to find. The map and directions given in Expedia take you to the wrong side of the road and about 4-5 properties too soon. We had to call the owner, to go the final 30 metres or so.
The ‘Hen House’ was really a self-contained, stand alone unit. It had a dishwasher, washer/dryer, TV, comfy bed and great shower.
Not sure how easy to reach without a car but we were only about 5 mins drive from Durham city centre. It was loads cheaper than staying in town and after a few weeks of travelling and having to hand wash items, it was great to do a couple of loads of washing and get it dry.
