    Toda la casa es muy cómoda, quizá la escalera es muy empinada. Lo mejor es la zona del jardín y la entrada donde se puede estar en un par de sillones si hace mal tiempo fuera. Mucho silencio en una zona muy tranquila y en un pueblo pequeño y...

15% cheaper to book on owner website (just Google "Acacia House Wolsingham"). Acacia house is clean and spacious. Sleeping up to 6 guests, with a King room, twin room and kingsize sofa bed (in the dining room). The dining room can be closed off to the lounge, making it completely private for those using the sofa bed. A travel cot is available for babies. The main bathroom is upstairs, with a large, powerful shower. Downstairs there is a toilet and basin, located in the utility area. For cosy evenings, the lounge has a panoramic log burner, and TV connected to Netflix. A wood store in the rear yard has bags of wood for sale, so you don't need to source them yourself. A utility room provides lots of space for storing bikes, prams, hiking gear etc. The garden is perfect if you want to bring kids and/or dogs. It is fully enclosed for peace of mind. Sit and relax in the eating area, perhaps throw something on the barbeque, or admire all the local birds that sit in the trees overlooking the garden, as well as the cheeky ducks that wonder around the village. If you prefer the comfort of indoors, you can sit in the conservatory which overlooks the garden, and the village green - perfect for watching the world go by and spotting local birds in the garden.
Laura, the host lives just next door with her family. On hand to help if needed, otherwise guests are left alone to enjoy their stay.
Wolsingham is the 'gateway' to the dale. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, there's plenty to do here. Walks, hikes, bike rides, mooching, shopping and pub crawls! The property is in the centre of Wolsingham village, so everything's on the doorstep. The property is just across the road from the river - perfect if you fancy feeding the ducks. In fact, they often come into the garden so you can feed them at the doorstep! The house is also just across the road from demesne picnic area - one of the more popular walks in the village - dog friendly, stepping stones across the river, tarzan swing, and open fields for doggy/child 'zoomies'. Wolsingham village has various amenities - convenience store, butchers, bakery, gift shops, library, chinese takeaway, 4 pubs, play park, skatepark, and coffee shop. It is a very welcoming area with a super friendly community. Local transport includes a train that runs in summer months, and the 'polar express' at Christmas. Local taxis are available, and bus routes run to Durham, Consett, Crook, Bishop Auckland, and further up the dale (Stanhope, St John's Chapel etc).
