We spent a.week in Fern Cottage. We found Fern Cottage was ideal for our stay in Durham. Everything in the cottage was provided for our comfort . We loved walking into the city along the river. We also found it was vey easy to hop on a bus to get where ever we wanted to go. Durham is a special city- evensong in the Cathedral is wonderful. I would highly recommend both the cottage and the city.
We stayed a week at Fern Cottage, immediately felt at home and could have stayed for months! The galley kitchen is well equipped, the living room comfortable, the queen bedroom is luxuriously spacious and the bathroom decor simply fabulous. Had the weather been better (i.e. warmer and dryer) we would have enjoyed sitting in the outdoor space off the kitchen. As it was we were toasty warm inside throughout our stay, and in the UK that's not always the case.
The cottage is a 25-30 minute walk from the train station, and while it is mainly an uphill hike it is doable (we're in our mid-sixties and carried our backpacks). A grocery store is a few minutes walk away, and the town centre is 15 minutes (downhill going to town, up hill returning).

We were very impressed with the reception we received. The cottage was clean and cosy with everything we could possibly need included.
facing a quiet green with shops and eating places very near by.
Lovely comfortable well equipped cottage. About 15 min stroll into town. Uphill all the way back so wise to take the bus. Handy to a great pub for dinner and supplies at the local store both 3 mins walk.

Perfect for the two of us. A nice, leisurely walk into the city with a number of options. The cottage was clean, tidy and comfortable with a well appointed and equipped kitchen. We loved our stay here!
