La Fattoria, near New Brancepeth, offers a convenient location just a short drive from Durham city centre car parks, with spacious and warm rooms. Many guests enjoy the views of the surrounding countryside, sometimes spotting sheep right in the garden. The on-site Italian restaurant, serving very fresh food, is a highlight for many, with the full English breakfast also being a popular choice; some guests have noted occasional noise from the water system.
