BlaydonBurn - Sleeps 4 5 - Parking - Yard

Steve was so welcoming, so was his wife. He greeted us when we arrived as he was waiting and then showed us around. He always responded to our text messages promptly; once we asked him about how to lock the door and he just was at the house in two minutes. He is respectful, kind and friendly. He even gave my kids a football to play with. He left us a breakfast basket with home-made jam, butter, toast, grape drink, sweets for kids. We also found milk in the fridge. He brought us a tasty fresh stottie on the second day from Big River Bakery from the city centre (20 mins from the house). Cleanliness: we found the place super clean, tidy. There was an amazing aroma. Facilities: AMAZING!, has a barbecue (we had a barbecue every day; we also found a complimentary charcoal, and the barbecue tools); has a hot tub (we really enjoyed it, every day the hosts come and clean it and test the pH level to keep it balanced); has an amazing, clean and wide garden with a table, chairs and cushion (we played at the garden, had breakfast, all you can hear is nature); TV package (Youtube, Netflix, Disney, sports, you name it); billiard table; darts; Amazon Alexa, and more games such as dominos, logo, scrabble, etc. and books; bean bags. The kitchen: has full cookware (we cooked basbousa -semolina cake-, fries, roasted chicken, pasta), it has a fridge, freezer, dinner table, kettle, dishwasher. The kitchen is amazing except it didn't have a washing machine. We will be back again for sure My son's review this is an excellent place, from the garden to the bathtub; I'm speechless... if you taste the jam you'll never want to taste any other jam in the world! Steve was very nice, he even gave us a box of Maltesers. Our bedroom was FAB. It even had some tidies which included an elephant (my favourite). As well as the robes he provided they were very nice and comfy. They even had a BBQ place. I told my dad I don't want to eat out!

Couldn't fault a single thing was amazing from start to finish

Excellent hosts and fabulous accommodation. The welcome package was an extra bonus and it felt like home from home

Steve was so helpful, location was fantastic for golf and shopping at the metro centre. Hot tub was on and ready for us when we arrive. The hosts had left a breakfast hamper and a bottle of prosecco which was so kind. Great size and garden was great. Clean, friendly and will be booking again to visit in spring. This was a last minute booking for us, so glad we found this little gem of a place

Nothing at all.

The owners are so welcoming and attentive. The hot tub is a great feature along with the complimentary bottle of prosecco and confectionery basket. Very spacious and well equipped apartment with a pool table and darts board for entertainment. Only 10-15mins away from town by car. Will definitely recommend it to friends and family, and we will be back!

The hosts were the most genuine and kind people that I have come across in a long time. They just couldn't have made us feel more welcome. They put teddies in the room for my little girls and there were treats for us all upon entry...including milk, bread, chocolate, drink, jam and even butter! The beds were really comfortable and the apartment was spacious and it was great to have access to a large garden...with chickens too! It included all the facilities and equipment needed for a young family, from highchairs to netflix!

There wasn't anything I didn't like...but I did move a few things out of sight from my little ones reach...for example board games, they would have ruined these for sure! But I'm sure many other families could enjoy these.

Spacious fully equiped ground floor appartment with two bedrooms and bathrooms, ideal for us with two young children. The highlight for the our children and our nephews was the pool table which gave hours of entertainment. The appartment opens onto the garden which is enclosed and safe for young children. There is also full Virgin TV with all the channels you could need and Wifi.

This is not a dislike, but be aware that to get to to the apparment, you need to do down a flight of outdoor steps, so my advice is to take several smaller bags or suitcases rather than one big one!

Lovely location great hosts would recommend to anyone
