Home from home - 3 bedrooms

The property is in an excellent location, close to the main road from the A1 to the centre of Gateshead and on to Newcastle. It is also located next to a beautiful park, with two good cafes and children’s play areas. The internal decoration is stylish, there was plenty of storage for our things and flexibility in sleeping arrangements with an extra bed in the one double room. The kitchen was well stocked with useful things, such as microwave, cups, plates etc. The shower was easy to use and pleasantly reliable for water temperature. Having access to good WiFi and channels like Netflix was a real bonus.

The main issue was the mattresses. We all ended up having to use the extra quilts and blankets to sleep on top of, as you can feel all the springs in the mattresses. Sleeping wasn’t comfortable until we did that. There is one obvious small patch of damp in the shower room - despite the suggestion that has a spa bath, there is not even a bath - and a large one on the kitchen ceiling. Some instructions for the heating would be useful as it was either off or on and boiling pretty quickly.
