Gordon, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Awesome little out of the way cottages, we had a simple over night stay for a birthday and the cottage was perfect. Extremely clean, looked to have just been refurbished with everything needed for a short stay. Lovely few drinks at the Bay horse infront of an open fire, with well priced excellent food. Easy to find, and parked right outside the property, easy no hassle check in / out If I had any gripe which isn’t really a gripe is that they are obviously putting work into upgrading the properties which ours had been and not was lovely, however the parking area was littered with rubbish and off cuts of wood, tiles, sand, cement etc , greggs cups sandwich bags etc and car was totally covered in building dust the next morning when we left. Altogether a fantastic little quiet break at a very very reasonable price

This is adequate for a night or two. We visited during December and arrived to fine the heating fully turned off. Not the best start really and the place struggled to warm up after that.

10/10 Exceptional

It’s a beautiful cottage located in a quiet neighbourhood. Fully stoked with all the necessary things for a couple or single person. Suitable for business/work trip accommodation as there is good Wi-Fi and affordable unlike hotels in Durham which are twice expensive or even more. John communicated very well with me prior to my arrival and made sure the heating was on as I arrived around midnight. Clean house, lovely white linen and good pillows. The mattress was perfect for my sleep too. Kitchen was stoked with milk (although I don’t drink milk) it was a nice gesture and a posh coffee machine 👌😊. There is a pub right next door as well with great food. I would recommend this place to anyone on a business/ work trip or a quick stop by in Durham.

8/10 Very good

All in all nice little cottage for a couple and good as was pet friendly to go up Durham to visit our son up uni and take our dog to see him too. Cottage was nice a little place although i think the tv was slightly too high on wall. As we arrived there were 3 plumbing vans parked outside so had to park out side another cottage for bout hour n half till they moved their vans after going in pub at front of cottages before parking own car then outside our own cottage. During our stay all else in cottage was ok other than toilet did not flush well at all we had problems with it , other than that carnt fault our stay. Property had all u wud need avaliable to use also in cottage.
Sarah, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

There was no or very little insulation between the rooms, I was able to hear everything being said next door (argument) so I left without using any of the facilities, I didn't stay there and won't be coming back . The room itself was lovely, but the simple fact there was no way I was going to be able to sleep there meant I wasted my money because it poor workmanship
Clive, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It would have been perfect if the pub and kitchen was actually open. We were not informed that they closed the bar and restaurant side and had no Wi-Fi. Apart from that the room itself was pretty nice and tidy. I wouldn’t return unless it was actually open for food and drinks.
Gary, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great Hotel at reasonable rate.

The rooms are motel type in the car park. They are large and very clean. Tea and coffee available in room. My only criticism is that the large rooms do not have a chair of any kind. There is plenty of room for an easy chair and a desk chair. My colleagues room next door didn't have any either. The food in the restaurant was fantastic. Large portions and very tasty with a good selection. Would definitely recommend for business or pleasure.
Anthony, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property needed a deep clean. I sneezed a lot and had black dust come out of my nose. Heating didn’t work sometimes and the room was quite cold. I booked through Expedia and check out said 11 am and I wasn’t told any check out time by the owner. On the morning of check out a cleaner knocked at the door and we shouted we were still inside. I popped to the loo and finished packing my back when the cleaner knocked again which I thought was odd so I double checked on my emails and then clarified the check out time being 11 am with the lady and she responded no check out time is 10 am.
