Jul 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic Home from Home Brilliant communication from the host. Immaculate house in a quiet residential street. Had a driveway which fit our two cars comfortably. The house itself was beautiful. Stunning decor and attention to detail. Modern appliances and everything you need. Beds were super comfy with soft linen. The location was great as shops and retail park just a few minutes drive away, Durham was approx ten mins by car. The welcome booklet was so detailed it helped us lots. Would absolutely come stay here again, I couldn’t fault a thing! ##### Claire A. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025
