Lovely house, lovely location!

Lovely 'upside down' house in a quiet, residential area, with gorgeous views over the river Tees. The rooms were spacious and well furnished, and the kitchen was very well equipped, with good quality appliances. The beds were very comfortable, and the balcony gave us a very relaxing space where we could watch the river, and ducks, go by. There were lovely riverside walks within yards of the house; much appreciated by my Greyhound!
