Good location and parking facilities, good communication from owners.
Could do with a bit of a refresh and a more thorough clean. Could be improved with net curtains for added privacy, a coffee table in the centre of the living room and an extra side table in the main bedroom.

Location was fine, the house exterior is traditional and could be part of "cosy" property were the interior to complement it, which it doesn't.
Unfortunately, this was the worst property I've ever stayed in on Booking.com. It's three star rating is unacceptable when compared to similarly priced properties in county Durham. This property isn't remotely "cosy". It looks, sadly, like the previous owner has died or moved away, with the new owners throwing a lick of paint on the walls, radiators and doors all of which haven't been updated in 20-30 years. Much of the interior is cheap, grotty, grimy, dirty and dull, from the springy bed with hair in it, to the kitchen units with crumbs in, to the poorly fitted skirting board, carpet, damaged ceiling and walls with years of overpainted wallpaper. I don't think this property is fit for renting out on Booking.com and definitely not with a three star rating. We booked two nights here, stayed one night then left the next day booking somewhere else with the same rating but 100 times nicer, for a similar two night price. The place needs gutting and renovating. The most egregious thing is that the pictures of the property on the advert are extremely flattering. Once you enter the property, it feels like you're staying in a slum landlord's house. I apologise if this hits hard, but really, people shouldn't be paying to stay here, nor should Booking.com allow, unless for a lower a price.

Nice touches leaving milk and biscuits.
It wasn't not particularly clean, the pillows are likely years old 😬 thankfully I was only out of my house for some work being done. So was able to go back and get my own pillows. Some surfaces were not wiped down. Hairs in places. Downstairs carpet in living room, needs a proper carpet clean. I stayed out of there after first night.
Bed had marks on it.
Owner or someone who works for them had to come fix the heating while my stuff was in the house but I wasn't which made me a bit uncomfortable but too cold to not have heat. Has asked me to leave a review for a female but I only spoke to a male?
I don't like leaving bad reviews for people making a living but on the whole the place needs a deep clean and new bedding/pillows etc.
Someone came to fix the roof, but owner said he had no idea who that was. The guy knew tenants stayed in the house though as asked if I was the owner or just staying atm.

Very clean, spacious, added touches of everyday essentials such as soaps, toilet roll, water, milk. Friendly owners and very imformative. It is also a great location to beamish and all local ameneties.
The only thing i could complain about is having to sleep in a single bed for the first time in 20 years and then falling out of it! 🤣

The house was warm and comfortable for our family to stay for 4 nights and well priced. We stayed in the area as it was close to our family and we had a car. The host left milk and water in the fridge which was appreciated as well as washing detergent. The host was easily reached via messenger and prompt in their replies.
The beds are narrow but I think that’s more so we are used to a larger bed and the stairs are skinny and steep. Just to be aware of if you’re elderly but these are usual stairs for the age of the property.

The property was perfect for what we needed.
Loved the little touches tea/coffee, mile, water and even selection of biscuits
Double duvet on single bed
No hot water
No lamp in the living room
Blood on duvet
Back door has been boarded up which is not good if there was a fire you would be stuck.

A whole house. Everything you need apart from drying facilities.
No drying facilities - even an outside line would have been ok.

The house was pretty good
It was clean and tidy and the bedrooms were comfortable
The kitchen was not very well equipped!
It needs some attention to make sure there is enough utensils such as dishes for the oven
Also the oven only had one shelf and needed cleaning

Great location. The property was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. We did have a problem with the boiler, but the owner was there within 10 minutes to sort it out. Now that's fast! Our main reason for coming was for the Beamish museum which was amazing and only a couple of miles away.
Nothing.

It was clean and tidy and fresh and warm. Not difficult to locate and settle in. All facilities were available and worked.
There were only 2 towels for 4 people. Just an oversight by cleaners and I’m sure was a once only.

The accommodation was exactly as described it was close to local amenities and the hosts were very accessible if needed..
Nothing to not really like it makes a good base to explore the surrounding areas feels like home away from home.

We couldn't stay the night had to book into a hotel. The smell was musty stains on the carpet. The fridge was disgusting. They had boarded up the back door ( which I'm sure is illegal! ) so only one escape route if there was to be a fire. The area of the property was rough with beer cans in the street. I certainly would not recommend

Location - close to Beamish.
Clean and tidy. Lovely views.

Needed scissors! but that's it.
3.0 / 10.0
It was close to Beamish, which was where we were planning to visit. The price was low.
The house was in a not particularly nice area. It wasn’t very clean. The facilities within the house were basic. We couldn’t control the temperature of the house, I don’t think the thermostat was working. At least it was too hot, rather than too cold.
