Host & Stay - Milbanke House

Spotlessly clean . Really quiet. Well equipped.

Location and spotless. Thank you

Location, size and cleanliness

No instructions on heating system, no late check out, a bit pricey for the time of year

Warm, cosy, comfortable and clean. Located right by amenities. Its a terraced house in a quiet street. Everything you need is there for a short break. Would recommend

Small issues. At night we felt like we were in a goldfish bowl as no curtains or blind on Lounge window. This has been flagged by previous guests but no action taken. One night was very windy and the noise down the chimney was quite loud. Luckily it wasn't drafty but could do with soundproofing. Also tv doesn't tune in for terrestrial channels. Minor gripe....teaspoons are too small to reach bottom of the mugs so impractical.

Beautifully kept and tastefully furnished terraced house, on a quiet residential street in Seaham. A very comfortable and clean place to stay, that’s really cosy and warm. Central heating temperature is adjustable. The kitchen is well equipped and there’s tea, coffee, sugar and some milk sachets on arrival. There’s a full size fridge freezer in the kitchen. Outside parking not a problem. There is a car park in the back yard of the property, but we didn’t need to use it. Really convenient for Asda and the centre of Seaham (which is just over the street) and about a 25 minute walk to Vane Tempest Beach. The beds are really comfy - we slept like a dream! Also you can see a side view of the sea from the bedroom window.

Just a few minor things for perfection! …. This is a lovely property! The curtains in the lounge are voile and transparent, so everyone can see in when the lights are on. The oven in the kitchen could do with a deep clean (but everything else was absolutely spotless). The en-suite electric shower in the ensuite bedroom takes a bit of getting used to - either very hot or cold - eco on high seemed to work best. Climbing out of the bed up the wall could be a little tricky if you’re not so mobile, but was ok for us.

The house was in the perfect location for us. It had all the amenities you should require.

Firstly on our arrival the house was very cold and warmed up by the following morning. Secondly the cups for tea or coffee had not been cleaned , I had to clean two of them before we could use them, also the cutlery was not very clean so again had to clean before use. In the lounge by the window there are large amounts of paint peeling off the walls which lets the house down.
