50 Etherley Lane

In good place for Bishop Aukland and good for going to Kyren on the Saturday night. House was comfortable everything you needed.

Oven can do with cleaning and instruction how to use

Good facilities - comfy cottage

Would have been better if bedding was ironed and more attention to dusting/wiping of skirting etc

It was clean, in a good location and easy to get parked.

The very steep steps to upstairs, and no indication at all that there were stairs in the property! Also, a step into the double bedroom should have been warned about, as one member of my group tripped up on it on entry to the bedroom. Could have been bad if they fell downstairs, but thankfully fell into bedroom.

The settee and bed were comfortable. Bedding and towls clean. Location as we were able to walk to Kynren. Location to town was also walkable. Washing machine worked well.

Could do with a damn good clean. I had to clean the worktops, hob and pot stands before I used anything as they were dirty. The floor obviously hadn't been cleaned in a while. I hoover the lounge but there was stuff that had been left between the settees. The hoover was full of dust. The bathroom could have done with a proper clean as well. The banister hadn't been cleaned and was sticky to the touch so that go a wipe down to.

A nice little house with good size comfortable rooms. Good value for money. Tea/coffee making provided.

Kitchen wasn't very clean. Previous occupants (and hosts) had not cleaned the pots, baking trays, and oven and cupboards need a deep clean. Had to wash everything before cooking!

The property was close to bus stops (£1 to Escomb, the site of the oldest Saxon church in England), close to railway station.

The place was very poor, we couldn't stand it and left after only one of the nights out of the three we paid for. The place was overpowered by the plug-in air fresheners in the lounge, bathroom and main bedroom. Even with all the windows open we both had disturbed sleep due to the smell and woke up with sore throat and eyes. The property was in a poor state of cleanliness the skirting boards looked like they hadn't been cleaned for months, and the kitchen and bathroom floors were dirty. There was a builld up of dust on window sills and the bathroom radiator. In the kitchen the cupboards were unclean, utensil tray greasy and there were coffee/red wine/tea? spills on door frames. The small enclosed garden had rusty old furniture and two lounge chairs thrown over the back wall. Not a welcoming, inviting place to stay; a complete waste of our money.

It was very comfortable. The sofa was probably my favourite thing, perfect for watching TV on a very wet weekend! Coffee machine was fantastic. I could have stayed for longer quite happily to explore the area. Garden was a wonderful little sun trap on our arrival. My daughter adored the reclining seat upstairs, I couldn't get her out of it. And if you are staying for longer there is plenty of space for clothes. The host gave us details to access the property in plenty of time and it smelled clean and fresh on arrival. Area was also nice and quiet. Morrisons less than five minutes walk away through the park. Really good access to the town and railway station. Host was also available in case of any problems but we were perfectly happy.
