Needs a few repairs and could do with a fresh paint but nothing that spoilt our stay.

Location was great, house was as described, comfy sofa and beds, it was lovely and warm. Plenty of towels and toilet roll.

Had to contact owner as couldn't find the lock box. Perhaps put location in the instructions. Had some issues with the TV, but got there in the end.

Perfect location. Very quiet, but close enough to walk to nearest pub. Good size of property and value for money. If you like chinese, try the Ming Chef - about a 5 min drive away and one of the best takeaway Chinese I've had. We all rated our differest meals +++++

Decor could do with updating, maybe lick of paint on front door. A couple more mugs for the kitchen would be good.

Location was great easy parking on road. House was spotless with plenty of room. Good communication with Storm. Close to supermarket and decent pub. Good value.

There was a car parked on the drive preventing us from parking there

The property was spacious and well equipped. The furniture was comfortable and the garden was a good size

In the description, it stated there was a dishwasher, but we couldn't find one. We wish we had bought towels as there weren't many and they were small. Also, there wasn't any shampoo, conditioner, or shower gel as someone had said there was, so we hadn't taken any with us. Although looking back, I think it was a previous guest who said shampoo, etc, was provided.

The property was clean and tidy. Storm and her team were wonderful. They were so helpful and considerate, especially as we were there for a funeral. There was bacon, eggs, and beans there for breakfast. Great value for money.

The property was little difficult to spot at night, but host helped to locate it. There are only a few grocery stores nearby

The support providrd by the host was amazing! The property was spacious and tidy. Rooms are spacious and well kept.

Kerb appeal poor with semi derelict car on drive preventing off street parking and a damaged, badly painted front door. Living area felt gloomy on arrival with blinds closed. Decoration needs completing with missing skirting boards and beading, masking tape still in place around shower and touching up very patchy and obvious. There were also several wires hanging in bedrooms and living room. Mirrors in the bathroom would help.

The house was large, clean and in a good area. We could hear the birds singing. It was quiet. Our hosts had left some provisions for breakfast Our hosts sent detailed information on the property and area before our arrival.

Would say we didn’t like but decor good do with a touch up, would make us not stay again though. Very happy

We really enjoyed our stay here, host was very helpful and lovely. Home was keep clean and tidy, had no problems with anything. Location was lovely, very easy to get to. Shops just down the road. Plenty of place to eat and drink. Lovely little walks not far away. Hope to come stay again in the near future 😊

it states that have off road parking but there is a car parked in drive with flat tyres

it’s great when you have young kids as can be quite crowded in a hotel room

Lots of areas unfinished. Hole in the stairs, paintwork and decoration needs to be completed. Kitchen ,stairs bedroom and bathrooms need to be completed to a higher standard. No dining table or chairs at the time we visited. Ensuite bathroom needed finishing and toilet seat needs fixing. Paintwork a bit haphazard.

Nice house. David was great, the front door was not locking and he came to sort it out immediately. TV has Netflix and other channels available. Breakfast provided egg bread salt pepper. No frying pan or iron but David brought them immediately I asked for them.

Keybox was tricky to find in the dark but fine once spotted.

Lovely spacious house on edge of town, 5 minutes from A1 and 5 minutes from superstore. On nice quiet residential estate. Helpful, responsive hosts. Perfect base to explore the North East or as a stop over. Full kitchen facilities and 3 toilets/bathrooms. Nice size garden.

I had to contact the host to have the key safe code messaged. Thankfully we were late arriving anyway. Host not responding via booking.com, had to mail via messenger. Outside the property sits an abandoned car...flat tyres, lookd like it has sat there for a very long time...not very welcoming. The property is extremely dated and was not clean. Most of the blinds are broken and the curtains are stained and extremely dated. Inside the drawers etc were dirty and the house was generally unclean. The walls are all stained and have water marks running down them. The fridge and cupboards had half used food and drinks in them. The floors as well as the paintwork is all chipped. The house had a really bad smell, I had to open all the windows and go out and buy air freshner. Our plan was to cook food for dinner and breakfast in the house but we went out as did not want to stay there to eat. We only stayed as we had only booked for one night and the children were very excited to be there, otherwise we would have left and booked a hotel. I contacted the host to let them know but I haven't had a response. I did not want to write a bad review as I don't like to do this, however I would hate for other people to book as I did with all the good reviews and find that the place is not quite as advertised..especially if booking for longer periods. Also there was a few electrical safety issues and television in the big room doesn't work and it took a few messages/days to have our £100 safety deposit returned.

Host was very helpful as I could not get the livingroom television to work and they sent instructions quickly. The beds were comfy. My husband left his cap and host was going to post this to us (they were going to contact when posted-not had update yet).

I loved absolutely everything about it!!! From the decor to the comfort of everything, I loved all the little finishing touches and for me that topped it all off.

A complete lack of communication from the owners meant I couldn't get to the property until it was too late! Total waste of money. No refund offered.

Stayed in February 2024

Our stay was from 22.01-26.01.the house was dirty, no amenities. Kitchen and bathroom were miserable. The owners asked for a deposit of £100 and we paid it immediately. I would like to mention that my job involves a lot of traveling every week. I always book through booking, and I have never been in this situation before. After we left, I asked if everything was ok with the property and when they would return my deposit. There was no response for several days. On 01.02 the owner wrote to me that the cleaner sent him a photo of an ashtray in one of the bedrooms and claimed that we smoke inside, which is absolutely not true. None of us smoked inside. I asked to send me this photo, but I never received an answer and neither my deposit. Very dumb way to not return a deposit. I don't know how this place has a score 8.4, probably because they offer you 10 % discount for your next stay if you give them a score of 10(we received such an offer). But if you want a terrible experience and not get your deposit back by making up lies, this is your place.

Inside the property looks nothing like what the pictures showed. Inside the house is very run down and dirty. There are a lot of outlets that pose electrical safety risks and some that aren’t even working. I forgot an item at the property and had to collect it from one of the hosts, when I met her she assured me that she checked the property when she went for the jacket and that everything was good and I should send my bank details so she can send back the £100 damage deposit. TWO days later of chasing her for the deposit, she accused me of getting a substance on the glass table which she assumes is glue and admitted that she was scraping at it for awhile but she can’t get it out, she said she needed stronger cleaning products so she will deducted £20 before sending the deposit! I’m surprised she didn’t blame me for all the holes in the wall as well!!

The property was located in a quiet area which was ideal.

- The host requested the full payment plus £100 deposit by bank transfer prior to arrival - No house number label on the property, got some difficulty on finding it on arrival - Suppose to have a parking space, however the driveway of the property was blocked by an abandon car, so we had to park on the street - Kitchen was not very clean, can get sticky and oily feeling when touching on the kitchen cabinets doors - Cutleries provided were not clean - Boiler needs a service, so stop working occasionally - Narrow living room and dinning room with large sofas, which makes the space even tighter. - There is a rear garden, but the key to the back door was not provided, which makes it hard to get into the garden - Shower only in the master bedroom, and it is very narrow - No carpet on the stair, so it could be noisy when step onto it. Also found some loosen screws on the joint, which create some injury or trip risk - There are a lot of 9 or 10 ratings, which I really don't believe they are honest - Charged us an extra fee, which we did not agree on the amount. Asked for an explanation, but no reply since then.

- Located in a decent and quiet residential area - Smart TV with TV license and Netflix, Disney subscriptions - A lot of beds and sofa beds - 3 toilets in the property

Advertised as having a sofa bed but there wasn't one? No breakfast apart from a tiny bit of cearel and 6 eggs, (owner did apologise and let us stay later), wasn't very clean and we found dirty underpants in one of the beds (have pics) and handprint marks on the walls of the bedrooms, there was an old car parked on the drive so had no parking but it's advertised as parking

, nice location and nice garden
