The Ashes

Durham, North East England

🚆 Nearest station: · 2.3 mi

The Ashes
The Ashes is a generously sized cottage in Durham, sleeping up to 10, so it works well for larger families or groups wanting space to spread out. Dinsdale station is the nearest rail link, just over two miles away, which is handy if you're planning to arrive by train.

There's a good spread of days out within reach, from Hopetown Darlington and Preston Park Museum for museum visits, to Butterfly World if you fancy something a little different with the family. All three are within a short drive, making this a practical base for exploring the wider North East.
