Convenient location in Gilesgate and a well prepared house - ideal for our stay visiting family in Durham. The house has been modernised throughout with new kitchen and bathrooms. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable and our host was able to swiftly provide details of safe dog walking areas close to the house.Overall a really great experience. Thank you

This property is in an ideal location. The facilities were excellent, everything you could need was there. It was clean and comfortable. Lovely garden for our dog. Parking for two cars. Lots of take aways handy if you did not want to cook. Would recommend this to everyone. Will more than likely book again.
