Durham City Retreat

It was pleasant and comfortable. I slept well and had a good shower in the morning. Communication with the host was good. It's near a bus stop, and it was easy to get into the centre of Durham.

gutes Bett, gute Dusche, guter Kühlschrank

für eine Nacht ok, bei längerem Aufenthalt schwierig, weil das Zimmer unglücklich eingerichtet und zu voll ist. Die Koffer liegen auf dem Boden, was alles zusätzlich beengt. Die "Küche " ist so klein, dass man sie kaum nutzen kann. Abwaschen von Geschirr ist nicht vorgesehen. Einen Gartenblick gibt es nicht, stattdessen Parkplätze und Straße. Küchen-, Lounge-, Gartenmitbenutzung gibt es auch nicht. "Frühstück "rudimentär.Die Lage weit draußen im Vorort dicht an der Autobahn.

Location was good. fast internet. Room was clean.

Room was not spacious at all. It was congested and ventialtion was poor. It was mentioned breakfast is included but please note this is only cereal and some chocolate buns and what was provided was not adequate for 2 days at all. We travelled with out 8 year old son and it was not a good experience. I think this property will be adequate only for 2 adults and should not be allocated beyond that. Specially if you are travelling with children. It will be ideal for a couple.

La gentillesse des hôtes.

Nous n’avions pas clairement compris que la chambre était au rez de chaussée d’une maison habitée par les propriétaires ! La description des équipements est erronée. Pas de vue sur le jardin mais sur le chemin de la résidence. Pas de cuisine donc pas d’évier pour laver la petite vaisselle. La chambre est vraiment petite pour 2 voyageurs internationaux avec 2 grosses valises.

Excellent communication from Adam. Clean room and the most comfortable bed I have ever slept.

No soundproofing. Nothing could be done about it as the room is in a family room.

Check in was very clear and efficient. The Room was spotlessly clean, very comfortable, and tastefully decorated. I loved the fact you got keys to the bedroom and front door which offered privacy and independence. This is a family home and on occasions we were woken early by doors slamming and the family going about the morning rush school , work and hoovering etc.. We really do like a lie in the morning so probably would prefer to stay in a hotel next time. . However, don't let that put you off if you are early risers or want to use this as more of a Base, this would be perfect.

No lie ins

Beautifully presented open and spacious room situated minutes away from the centre of Durham. Exceptionally comfortable bed, and we loved the laidback and assured personality of the host, felt very well equipped for guests and comfortable sharing their beautiful space with others. The breakfast was a lovely added touch.
