    Outward appearance of fridge freezer looks tatty (works perfectly well though) but spoils the look of the lovely kitchen. Open aspect in conservatory did not allow for much privacy not an issue for us but some may think so.

    Lovely stay in this end of terrace home. Clean, warm, modern and bright. Comfortable beds and pillows. Kitchen equipped with almost everything you could need. Beautiful views. Loved the bath and light fittings! No issues encountered during our stay. Great communication from host. Will definitely return. Great position for our trip to Beamish Museum.

    Nothing about this house and location we didn’t like!

    House was in an ideal location for our stay and planned activities. However I would still consider this house again and travel in for other future visits to the area as it was so homely and accessible to everywhere we wanted. Just was excellent, very communicative and helpful. Each morning and evening we had an extra treat of beautiful Red Kite birds swooping over the amazing fields which made up our uninterrupted views of stunning countryside. We are missing our little bolt hole already!

    Just a few little bits need sorting out.. Blinds in kitchen and bathroom needed. Window in back bedroom whistles when windy.. Better flush on toilet.. Outside of fridge doors needs a good clean looks rusty..

    Location was great... Nice and comfy..

    Just needs a wee bit of a deep clean in the kitchen,the fridge door and the back side of the cupboard handles felt a bit gritty ,just a quick wipe and that would be fine ,not anything else to be negative about

    Loved the location,we wanted to visit Bemish and was only a few minutes away in the car,loads of room lovely big bath even though we didn't use it ,well equipped kitchen, would definitely recommend and we still want to visit Bemish in the warmer weather next year so we will be having a look to book again,the owner was InTouch before and after we arrived which was good

    Kitchen was via the conservatory and hadn't got an optional arrival kit for weary travellers. (By the time we arrived the local shop was closed.)

    Very clean. TARDIS (much bigger on the inside). Kitchen very nice with dishwasher. Living room and main bedroom very spacious. Multiple plug sockets. Bathroom had both a bath and a shower. Uber was available and local bus service closeby.

    Purely personal a firmer mattress. We're used to a Tempur at home. My wife thought the double bed's mattress was fine I found it much too soft and springy.

    Helpful host and welcoming neighbour. Lovely eastward views. Wonderful sunrises.

    Unexpected visitor on stairs. A large spider decided to pay us a visit. It was soon dispatched back outside!!

    Great fairly peaceful location, surrounded by beautiful countryside. Very close to Beamish museum and a short commute to lovely towns of Chester le Street and Consett. House was modern. very light and airy with very comfortable beds and a powerful shower and everything you would need to make meals in kitchen. Free wifi a bonus and easy to connect to. We had a great, relaxing break.

    Parking can be a little bit tricky but we always managed to find a spot not too far away.

    The house was so comfortable, a home from home and the views were amazing. There's a lot to do in the surrounding area especially walks and Beamish museum is very close. Definitely recommend.

    Only thing that I would add is a washing machine we only stayed a couple of nights so wasn’t an issue but if we were staying longer or in the winter where may get caught when out walking in weather would be good to be able to do a load

    Perfectly situated near to family and great walks with dog very tidy house local shop nice and not far from lots to do. Bed very comfy and bath was welcome after walking
