Crossgate

Overall, it was a terrific place to stay. Loved the location - just a block down to the heart of Durham's old city. House was very comfortable, light and bright! Loved the little back garden with seating.

The front room was a bit loud on weekend nights but that's easy to remedy with earplugs. (would be nice for owners to provide) I would also say that the front bedroom upstairs could benefit from darker window coverings, but that was minor.

Homely atmosphere, comfortable, warm, all creature comforts. Great location.

Homely feel. Well equipped

Completely love the house, beautifully done, fab location.

The tv reception (watching six nations rugby) was intermittent to bad and the shower is poor pressure and the cradle doesn’t support the head so it is more of a hose than a shower. Also although the location is fab for town it does make for a very noisy night long into the wee small hours.

We were there for a Masters graduation ceremony. The location was excellent. The property was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and well equipped. It did say that there was parking. This was very important as one family member was elderly. We asked specifically about the parking and were told that there were permits in the house. There were two covering a maximum of three hours each. We were there for four days!! We had two cars. Fortunately one of the cars has a disabled badge. We looked up the council website and found that we could park the car in a permit area using the badge. However we had to put the other car in the multi story car park. It was inconvenient and expensive. We feel that the 'parking' should be made clearer as to what it means as it was very misleading.

Parking issue described above.

The location was excellent, with good clean decor. The layout worked well too. The issue with the location is the noise from the 2 pubs, which are very close by. This is not the fault of the property, and depends on management by the pubs… but noise until 2am was apparent on 3 of our nights.

See above re noise - this was our only issue and may be attribution the time of year. Student grad week. A Nespresso machine would be a great addition and most properties feature this right now.

Spacious, very clean, great location. Fantastic decor, well equipped kitchen.

Mattress is too soft for my liking, downstairs was quite cold. Whilst the range looks fab, not everyone knows how to use it.
