Clean and tidy had a problem with heating not working on Wednesday evening I messaged John and a gas engineer was out on Thursday to sort out the heating, would stay here again next time we’re in Durham. Food was lovely at the Bay Horse too

Area was good for what we needed. Accommodation was very cold heater wasn't working,room wasn't clean cobwebs in shower room no complimentary toiletries just hand soap. Nice area staff from the bay horse were very good and food was good.

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

Lacked hooks for wet jackets & bath towels. No deadlock or bolt on the door. Nice area.

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

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.

Stayed here before these were apartments, no idea how the owners have done it tbh,now has a little settee and separate bedroom which is en-suite, also a small but well stocked kitchen even has a little dishwasher if your staying longer than 1 night

Gary, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Wayne, 1-night trip

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

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.

There are many plus sides to this accommodation:- - Quiet, country location. - Very good facilities, with nice touches like as good quality glasses, dishwasher, microwave, cooker. - Clean - Well heated. - Good safe parking - Milk and packet of biscuits on check in. - Simple and easy check in. - Discounts for local restaurant. There are a few downsides:- - No public transport back from Durham after about 8pm - Well outside of Durham. - Sound proofing could be better, however the type of people staying make this unlikely to be much of an issue. - The TV is too high on the wall and really needs to be either moved down to lower on the wall, or moved to the bedroom. I found my neck got very sore trying to look at it. - Getting into the bathroom is a bit tight. I have marked down the score for communication because there was a power cut on my last night and the owner's communication re. this was poor. He didn't answer my phone calls and texts, only starting doing so when I asked for a refund and mentioned I would mention the lack of communication re. this in my review. I appreciate the power cut was out of his control, however his communication did not make me feel like a valued and cared for customer. There are a f

Great value for money, it was quiet and relaxing. Used it as a stop over as I was visiting family so it was a good place to sleep over, the bed was comfortable and great facilities in the room
