It is set back from the main road with well stocked gardens to the front and rear.
Trees and an access road separate it from the main Darlington /Bishop Auckland road leading out of town.

Your hosts, John and Sheila Kilgarriff are former teachers who bought the property in 1991 and embarked on a series of improvements and upgrades, the results of which are a beautifully furnished and decorated interior and an exceptionally high standard of comfort, facilities and friendly service.

Many original features of the old house have been retained and restored.

Both John and Sheila love cooking and this is reflected in the quality and presentation of the highly acclaimed home-cooked food.

All the bedrooms are tastefully furnished, Sheila making most of the soft furnishings using Dorma, Sanderson and M&S fabrics.
Sheila's many tapestries and embroideries are in most rooms and are greatly admired.

The bedrooms have the benefit of either en-suite or private facilities.

All rooms have colour TV with satellite and video channels, tea and coffee making equipment, clock radios, central heating and double glazing.

Attention to detail is a priority with many additional "extras" such as homemade biscuits in the bedrooms etc.

There is a comfortable guest lounge with a feature fireplace. An ideal place for a chat or a quiet moment.

Beautiful antique furniture and ornaments help create a homely atmosphere.

The cellar at Marwood House has been converted into a fitness room (for the more energetic!).

It also houses a 1 -4 person sauna where you can unwind and relax.
