Great value and for me, no downsides

Either everything was quite new or the cleaning was meticulous, or both! Great facilities, loads of choice of self serve breakfast, good size bedroom and the en-suite bathroom was also spacious with a separate bath and shower.

Stunning

Highbury House is a stunning clean spacious Property with excellent facilities in a beautiful location, spot on for our needs while briefly visiting family in nearby Eaglescliffe, thanks to Pauline & Leslie x

Shared accommodation was not great but at the end of the day we were not there very long

good value for money

Breakfast was okay , you just help yourself in the morning like a continental . comfy big bed & lovely ensuite , room was spacious with Tv & was nice & warm

no tea or coffee facilities in the room , you have to go downstairs to make yourself a drink , which is not always ideal , too many nick nacks in the bathroom , there is no where to put your toiletries.

Great stay

The location was great and the house was immaculate inside and out the room was very cosy

The first morning after we arrived we smelt curry, it was being cooked by some Indian guests in the kitchen. Now we love Indian curry's but first thing in the morning?? The smell lingered until the following day....we felt this was not a good thing

I think by saying I'll stay there again, no question and with my wife accompanying me in the new ye.

Room was excellent with private bathroom, decorated nicely, quiet location, variety of cereals, fruit and yogurt were very good.

A Full English breakfast but it didn't detract much from an enjoyable comfortable overnight stay.

Served a purpose for the early flight at the airport

Location for the airport is excellent

Property has a bit too much going on. The cooking of Indian food late at night stank the house out. A few too many trinkets and soft furnishings in the bedroom made the room feel like it needed a good deep clean.

Good value for money self-catering overnight stay.

The location, though off the beaten track, was easy to find following directions from the owner. The house was in a lovely, qiet, countrified area. The room I was allocated was comfortable and had a nice view across a field. The self-help kitchen was well equipped and stocked for breakfast choice. The owner messaged to ask if I'd arrived okay, and To phone if needed help with anything.

Absolutely lovely place well worth the price and Pauline couldn’t do enough for us

Great communication, owner was really accommodating, directions and entry was easy , house was so homely , room read lovely and bed was very comfortable , Sheree and outside area was beautiful at night all lit up

Our room would benefit from an on suite , I wouldn’t mind losing a bit of room for the convenience I think the wardrobes are unnecessary so space could be made for a small shower and toilet

Excellent B&B but arrival a bit of a puzzle. Garden nice to wander in too...

Breakfast was a do-it-yourself affair; bit disappointing but alright once everything was found, although I never did find the bread for toast! The room was lovely and the bed comfortable. I had an excellent night's sleep.

Arriving with no hostess to meet us. Three of us waited quite a time. I arrived early (booked in for 9pm but arrived about 5pm) but they booked in between 5-6pm. At approx 6.15pm the door opened slightly and a puzzled lodger explained the hostess was not there & he didn't think we were expected. Fortunately, the other guests checked their SmartPhone and the hostess had sent a message giving directions to the house and entry to our rooms. Once inside - we w ere fine!

Lovely place with a lovely Host :)

Lovely host, very warm and welcoming. She explained everything upon my arrival and made my stay a breeze. Breakfast was offered however, i chose not to have it as i checked out early plus I'm not an early eater. I highly recommend this place.

Unpleasant Experience – Treated Rudely and Condescendingly

N/A

I arrived late on the first night and rang the bell, unaware of any restrictions (no prior instructions were given). The host responded rudely and began speaking in slow, patronising English, making assumptions about my ability to understand. He kept repeating, “Muhammad, we don’t do this” in a pedantic and superior tone. As a professional attending a high-level conference, I found this behaviour deeply disrespectful. This experience has put me off booking private stays—I now prefer hotels where basic courtesy and professionalism are more reliable.

An unforgettable stay- a true home away from home

Our stay at Pauline’s home in England was absolutely outstanding. We had the entire house to ourselves, with one or two additional guests, and it honestly felt like we had our own private home in a different country. The space was warm, welcoming, and had everything we could’ve possibly asked for. What really made this experience so special was the hospitality. Even though Pauline wasn’t there in person, she made sure we were looked after in every way. Her son and sister checked in on us, offered help, and genuinely made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. It went far beyond what you’d expect—kind, thoughtful, and personal in the best way. The beds were incredibly comfortable, the house was spotless, and every corner felt cared for. It was peaceful, cozy, and the perfect base for our time in England. We can’t thank Pauline and her family enough for such a memorable and heartwarming stay. If you get the chance to stay here—take it.

We loved it all

Homely B&B ......

A new build property shared with the owners ~ little to dislike provided that you understand this, and are happy to share bathroom and kitchen facilities. Breakfast is a do it yourself arrangement, but everything conceivable is provided. Clean, comfortable and in a quiet location. Adequate car parking spaces, and a short walk to the Oak Tree Meze / Grill which is recommended.

Being a new build property sound proofing was not particularly good.

B&B as it should be.

Exceptionally good B&B. Pauline is a great host; she welcomed me into her lovely home with a tour of the kitchen (for my early self-service breakfast) and was very happy to chat whilst I made a much needed cup of tea. The accommodation is splendid and the en suite room that I was in had lots of nice chic touches - the seaside and beaches feature strongly.. Furthermore, and more importantly, it's outstandingly clean, warm, and comfortable. I slept like a log! Sky TV in the room was a bonus. Yes, I would definitely stay again. Thanks Pauline.

Great price. Location suited

Comfortable and clean. Welcoming host. Great price. Had a great meal at the pub nearby followed by great conversation with the locals. Breakfast included. Nice outlook over the backyard from conservatory for breakfast.

Despite the large size of the bathroom the shower recess was very small.

Decent budget stay, but overrated.

Good quiet location, close to Darlington and to the airport. The room was very nice and comfortable. The shower and bath were both very good and the bed was comfortable. Decent for the cheap rate.

The window blind wasn't very effective, so was woken around 5:30am both mornings by the sunlight coming into the room. The house isn't sound proof at all, so could hear TVs and conversations from other rooms. Breakfast is self-service with limited options - I ended up paying to get breakfast elsewhere. I had asked if I could keep some food in the fridge after I checked out, to return and collect in the evening - the owner said this was no problem and that I should just let myself in (I would count being told to let myself in to collect my food, as a good reason to let myself in!), but when I returned he said it had been thrown out as I had checked out... Clearly forgot or wasn't listening which was disappointing. Complaining about guests to other guests is very unprofessional and unwarranted particularly as host was in the wrong.

Excellent stay, we will be back. Thank you Pauline and Chris.

It was as advertised, a home away from home. Pauline was very welcoming and sensitive to the extra needs of my travelling companion. The house was absolutely beautiful and the garden was restful watching the wildlife in the field that backs on to it. We enjoyed meeting Pauline's son in the morning and were very interested in his Tempus charity as my companion was an ex serviceman. The breakfast was lovely and I had two helpings of the fruit jellies. This is a great find and so accessible to the airport and motorway network, my father would like to return when we next visit Scotland.

I was upset and disappointed to hear that a fellow Scots had left a bad review. This is definitely not warranted, I might suggest that booking.com blacklists anyone who enters a hosts property without good reason, once they have checked out!

Nice stay in a shared house

Friendliness and flexibility. Easy access to the shared house. Room was very clean and full of light, bathroom as well. "Help-yourself breakfast" had many options from cereal to scones to preboiled eggs to toast. Spacious shared kitchen and nice conservatory with a table for four and a well-tended garden.

Preparing breakfast is a help-yourself affair and the owner shared some guidance, but I personally would have preferred if mugs, plates etc were out as it felt I am intruding having to search through their cupboards, plus I wanted to leave early on a Sunday and I was slow trying to be silent. Similarly, in the fridge things were labelled but it was unclear what was private and what to be shared among the guests.
