Pros: Stanza molto carina con possibilità di parcheggio Cons: Avevamo prenotato questa stanza appositamente per la cucina, cosa che abbiamo scoperto solo sul momento non esserci e ci è sembrata una strana coincidenza che la proprietaria di casa non ne fosse al corrente ma che anzi al nostro segnalare la mancanza hanno dato la "colpa" a booking sottolineando peró che lei offre un servizio di cucina a pagamento....

Pros: Lovely quiet location. Early check in. Free milk in the fridge. Cons: When you book you are offered breakfast for £0.10 which is not true. I have contacted Booking.com and the property to get this amended but no luck. No clothes storage in the room.

Our stay was great, I would definitely return here if we were to travel to Durham again. The only thing I would like to

Pros: The room in which we stayed was perfect. It has everything you needed for a home from home experience. The little breakfast provided was an added bonus, this was also topped up for our second morning too, with fresh milk and the facilities were perfect to cook ourselves a little late night snack on the evening. We even made the most of the outside area for an hour and the hosts were wonderfully welcoming and friendly. It was also only a short walk to a bus stop, where we caught a bus to the city which was a lovely, short ride with some nice views in the way. Cons: There was nothing bad
