There was no or very little insulation between the rooms, I was able to hear everything being said next door (argument) so I left without using any of the facilities, I didn't stay there and won't be coming back . The room itself was lovely, but the simple fact there was no way I was going to be able to sleep there meant I wasted my money because it poor workmanship

Itā€™s a beautiful cottage located in a quiet neighbourhood. Fully stoked with all the necessary things for a couple or single person. Suitable for business/work trip accommodation as there is good Wi-Fi and affordable unlike hotels in Durham which are twice expensive or even more. John communicated very well with me prior to my arrival and made sure the heating was on as I arrived around midnight. Clean house, lovely white linen and good pillows. The mattress was perfect for my sleep too. Kitchen was stoked with milk (although I donā€™t drink milk) it was a nice gesture and a posh coffee machine šŸ‘ŒšŸ˜Š. There is a pub right next door as well with great food. I would recommend this place to anyone on a business/ work trip or a quick stop by in Durham.

There are many plus sides to this accommodation:- - Quiet, country location. - Very good facilities, with nice touches like as good quality glasses, dishwasher, microwave, cooker. - Clean - Well heated. - Good safe parking - Milk and packet of biscuits on check in. - Simple and easy check in. - Discounts for local restaurant. There are a few downsides:- - No public transport back from Durham after about 8pm - Well outside of Durham. - Sound proofing could be better, however the type of people staying make this unlikely to be much of an issue. - The TV is too high on the wall and really needs to be either moved down to lower on the wall, or moved to the bedroom. I found my neck got very sore trying to look at it. - Getting into the bathroom is a bit tight. I have marked down the score for communication because there was a power cut on my last night and the owner's communication re. this was poor. He didn't answer my phone calls and texts, only starting doing so when I asked for a refund and mentioned I would mention the lack of communication re. this in my review. I appreciate the power cut was out of his control, however his communication did not make me feel like a valued and cared for customer. There are a f

John, the property manager, was super friendly and extremely helpful. Other than a pub, there is very little around the property. The room was good for a night, but definitely could have been cleaner. There was also no fridge in the room, which is challenging when the accommodation was for a stop on a roadtrip.

Property needed a deep clean. I sneezed a lot and had black dust come out of my nose. Heating didnā€™t work sometimes and the room was quite cold. I booked through Expedia and check out said 11 am and I wasnā€™t told any check out time by the owner. On the morning of check out a cleaner knocked at the door and we shouted we were still inside. I popped to the loo and finished packing my back when the cleaner knocked again which I thought was odd so I double checked on my emails and then clarified the check out time being 11 am with the lady and she responded no check out time is 10 am.
