    The wee house was lovely 😍 Very pleased with it.

    Getting confirmation was NOT straightforward. Getting codes for access was a bit frustrating. I am recovering from a severe illness so things like this are stressful. Host and Stay need to try and Iron this out. But, the stay was great 👍 👌 MM

    Great holiday experience

    The house was beautiful and clean. The host was quick to respond to our queries. Property was easy to access and had onsite parking which was a big help. Nearby retail park. Location was ideal for our purpose. Value for money.

    The cottage itself is fine.

    We had an ant infestation in the conservatory when we arrived which meant we were unable to use it. Despite promises of maintenance coming out to attend to it, in the 5 days we were there nobody attended. I bought ant spray & powder to allow us to use it for 3 of our 5 days. The property is good but the management by Host & Stay is disgraceful, terrible customer service.

    Enjoyable

    We really liked the property. Side drive for parking . Quiet location . Buses into Durham were frequent and very close to the property . You can also get the bus to Sunderland( we didn't). Easy access to A1=M1. North or south. Kitchen well stocked. Nice garden area . You can walk down to Durham 30 mins , bit less. I walked back once, steep all the way back. So a bus back is recommended if been out and eaten etc .

    Floorboards upstairs creak . Might not bother some people. And the conservatory was full of flying ants, so, we couldn't use it. This property would have had an excellent rating from us, the fact we booked it for the parking and conservatory and not been able to enjoy the conservatory has brought our rating down. This property is very good, just we had the ants.

    Convenient location to Durham city centre.

    Good location

    Would have been good to have more sofas in the lounge - the small chairs felt like a waiting room/ reception area. However loved the conservatory area.
