This was my second time staying at the property, and once again it didn’t disappoint. The place is lovely—clean, comfortable, and very peaceful, which made for a really relaxing stay. It’s located in a nice quiet area, perfect for unwinding. I would definitely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a calm and pleasant place to stay.

Unbelievably good - amazing access to city centre. I even went for a run in the morning that was uninterrupted by crossings etc… not a lot not to like. Great communications with the host and a reasonable price. You absolutely will not be disappointed!

Location for us was ideal as we needed a night between Darlington and Durham. Very clean, comfortable bed. Breakfast of toast and cornflakes left in room. I did not like the shared bathroom, although I knew it was going to be shared.

The location was ideal for us as we had friends in Ludworth, and we were going in to Durham too. The bed in the room was very comfy, the shower excellent. Very clean and well presented throughout. Staff were great, breakfast was amazing and included in the price of the room and it was well worth it, will be coming back!
