Great apartment in a perfect location to get into the City of Durham. The place was comfortable and clean. The kitchen had been stocked with the basics which was great after a long journey. The owners were very friendly and kind. Would highly recommend!

Met by friendly, helpful host, with local information. Lovely outside garden accessible direct from main bedroom. Bottle of wine, milk, tea and coffee, jam, bread, small treats, all provided. Everything worked well.
Was hard to find as no street numbers

This is the second time we've stayed at this accommodation during our trip to Durham, and I can confidently say it's excellent. Everything is well-maintained, clean, and top-notch. The hosts, Giles and Louise, are amazing – we highly recommend it!

Excellent hosts, property very clean and comfortable excellent location
Oven was very slow and didn’t work too well for cooking a meal. Did chat to hosts and hopefully they can replace. Heating was either too hot or too cold but hosts aware so hopefully will sort.

Really friendly hosts, nothing was too much trouble. We asked if there was anywhere to store our bikes safely while we went out for the day, no problem was the answer! When we arrived at 10.30 we were allowed to check in as well as it was all ready for us. It was also my birthday and a little birthday cake appeared on the work top! Just small touches that make a big difference. Thank you Giles, Lou and Tom we had a lovely stay, looking forward to seeing you all again soon.

The property was well laid out, comfortable and very well equipped, with absolutely everything we needed including a cheese grater, tupperware and even tinfoil! The owners even left us some milk and a loaf of bread, which was very thoughtful. Great location - a short drive to both Beamish (about 15 mins) and Durham (10 mins).

Lovely apartment and ideal for small family. Close enough to Durham but quiet little village. Handy well stocked local shop. Cooking facilities were ideal and cosy space.
Not a dislike by any means but would of been good to of been able to access streaming services on TV such as Netflix etc. And having own washing machine would also be an advantage (although laundry service was available). The upstairs shower room could possibly be extended to have a loo to avoid kids or that having to come down stairs at night. Honestly no faults these just personal opinions

Perfect location for where we wished to visit, warm and comfortable, lovely host Maxine who greeted us on arrival, and much appreciated welcome pack. Enjoyed the little patio/garden.
Park and ride brilliant for centre of Durham just five minutes from apartment. Don't forget to visit Hall Hill Farm.

Charming and well maintained property, an altogether better option than most hotels! The hosts are very cooperative and ensure that your stay is comfortable and seamless.
The water pressure in the showers could have been a bit higher and a basin mixer tap would have been more usable than the separate cold and hot water taps. It had all the necessary appliances other than a washing and drying machine.

Single beds were very soft. Only had summer weight duvets on and it was cold. Heating didnt come on until 8 am on the Sunday morning and we were up at 7 so house was very cold, We didnt seem to have any control of heating. Dust on bedroom cabinets and bedside lights and hair in shower.

We loved Everything, from the lovely smile and greeting to the wonderful apartment that we stayed in. The apartment is bigger than what we expected and Maxine has all these little touches that makes your stay enjoyable. A home away from home xxx
We couldn't find anything fault, issue or complaint about this apartment or owner.
10.0 / 10.0
The apartment was really nice with plenty of space. A very comfortable place to stay for a few days and close to Durham City centre only 10 mins on the bus. Bed was very comfy, sofas were too. WiFi worked well, all facilities excellent and as you'd need. Very clean and well maintained. Hosts were very friendly and helpful on arrival and left us to ourselves during the stay. Highly recommended and we'd stay again if we came to the area again.
no issues at all. A smart TV in the lounge would be a nice upgrade but that's really nit picking.

We found the property by far exceeded our expectations. I can not fault anything about it down to comfort and location. The hosts were on hand if needed and couldn't have made us more welcome. Would definitely recommend and plan to return .

The host was lovely and catered to our needs. We travelled with three children 10 and 6 year old twins. There was milk, bread, jam and butter in the fridge on arrival - a big plus. All the equipment was of high quality so we cooked as well as ordered in.
There is a very nice nature walk in the forest that is walking distance and easily accessible for families.
Really kind host who understands the needs of young children. I recomend the location for a staycation and Durham Botanical Gardens if you like nature parks.
