Guest Reviews

• ilona rigo (9/5): Nice break away - Hooks for coats at the door. Bed made, towels. Great location for walks to viaduct, blackhall rocks, steetley pier and Hartlepool (check tide times). Decking area to chill in the sun. Comfy bed - I didn't use the shower, oven, micro, toaster, fridge. Heating too but I like my own sleeping bag, toweland pillow!
• David (10/5): - Clean tidy access easy
• Marco (9/5): - Yoko è un’host molto accogliente e disponibile. La casa è situata in ottima posizione. Ps. La sua cagnolina, Sky, è anche lei un’ottima padrona di casa ;)
• D.B (8/5): Good value for money, freindly and helpful staff. Would happily stay there again - There is no breakfast provided at the moment, due to rennevations going on at the property.
• Wendyjt (8/5): Excellent value for money. - Easy swipe front door. Water or at least a glass for water would have been good. But plenty of tea/coffee.
• Deb (7/5): It was adequate for my needs - There are some renovation works going on at the property. However the floor where they have the accommodation was fine and it wasn’t noisy. The pillows were old. I think for a very small cost they could have new pillows
• Wayne (8/5): -
• Nix Wall (7/5): -
• Alessandro (10/5): - Very nice family, kindly! The structure is in a quiet location just 10mins walk from the centre. I'm sure I will be back
• Jasmine (10/5): easy check in great location and a beautiful room with a high standard of amenities - The location was fabulous and the room itself for the money was one of a very high standard I would recommend this property for any family or friends and I myself would not hesitate to re book this property for myself the next time I visit Sunderland again Everything was just perfect
• joshua (7/5): Great for a short stay, needs more heating and the lady bug issue sorting. The price is too high for its current faults. - Large room and comfortable bed, the couch and TV were a nice set up. The bathroom was very spacious including the shower. There was a lady bug infestation, and I could hear everything downstairs which made it difficult to sleep straight away. Although the rooms was large it made it very cold, the heating did not suffice.
• Nathan (6/5): -
• Ramon (9/5): Nice, warm, quiet location, 10min walk to town centre. If come back Igoing for the big room Next door hahaha - Felt homey which I look for when traveling as I often feel unwell or cold in hotel room especially your premiere/holiday inns and very big and spacious, landlord was present but not present so it gave a feel of privacy which was nice. Nothing I didn’t like, luckily my cousin came to see me even doe you cannot have guest but they allowed it which ended up being the saving grace as I got locked in bathroom on top floor so I had a lucky escape but to be fair to landlord they were refurbishing the house at the time.
• daniel (1/5): Judgemental - Id been on the road for a couple of days turned up to just to enquire about an early check-in, having been giving sterio type look. I ad a feeling that was confirmed with in 20 minutes I had a message to say, some stories about over booking 🤔,
• Umberto (9/5): Ottima stanza residenziale in tipico stile inglese - 15 minuti a piedi dal centro, in una tranquilla zona residenziale. Avevo la camera spaziosa sotto tetto con bagno privato, bellissima! Si potrebbe optare per un check in automatico con chiave nel locker
• Jake French (10/5): - The location was perfect, within a mile of all the places we went to. Beautiful building as well. It was all positive, a thoroughly enjoyable stay.
• Kallum (10/5): -
• Anthony (7/5): Very spacious room in large house close to the centre - Room was very spacious and included two separate bedrooms. Bed was comfortable. Reasonably close to the City centre. Communication before was good so you got an idea of what to expect - a homestay rather than a hotel. Seems to be located in a decent area, a lot of very grand older houses and a school. Room was part of a very large house which is in a state of redevelopment. The room was also fairly cold, not helped by its large size. A small electric bar heater was provided though. Interesting romote controlled aspects (the blinds/bedside lights). Plain but functional and did the job.
• Marion (9/5): - I really appreciated having access to a microwave and fridge on the landing. The room is large and the bed is really comfortable. The location is excellent, very near the City centre. Nothing
• Brendan (7/5): -
• Ben (10/5): Thoroughly recommend - Lovely clean and modern room with a very comfy bed
• Anne (7/5): I would like to go back when all the renovations are completed as it will be magnificent. - The bedroom was very big and the bed was comfortable. The shower was hot. Generous with towels. The room was heated at night and there was a free standing radiator supplied for supplementary heating. The bed was very comfortable. It was difficult to fine because of its unique situation. The top floor was being used by guests but the rest of the house was a construction site. I had to walk through builders curtains and go up and downstairs covered dust sheets. The private bathroom which was separate from the bedroom did not have a lock on the outside so it was accessible to other guests and this happened on one occasion. It still needed some finishing work on the floor and door. The kitchen area was on the landing and shared by all the rooms. It consisted of a fridge freezer and a small microwave. This was not what I expected.
• Emmanuel (9/5): Quite a wonderful place to lodge - Comfortable, good staffing and great location Nothing
• Sue (8/5): Good location. Clean and comfortable room. Friendly hosts - Good location, lovely property being renovated . Very friendly and helpful host, excellent communication. Comfortable bed, clean room. Enjoyed our stay Nothing , but could do with a few extra touches. Such as a mirror in the bedroom.
• Steve (9/5): - Lovely large bed and shower. Very welcoming. The room was a little cold.
• ANTHONY (8/5): House with character and spacious. - Very friendly and helpful hosts. Huge rooms and access to many things. Large fridge microwave toaster available to use outside rooms. Overslept and missed checkout time but host understood and made no fuss. The huge house is a work in progress which didn't both er me at all. Maybe not for some though.
• Rachel (10/5): -
• Georgina (10/5): - The location and car parking It needed a mirror in the bedroom
• Greg (8/5): -
• sultan Saad . (9/5): -
• Peter (8/5): -
• Terence (8/5): A great choice approximately 1.5 miles from the city centre - A great place to stay, the room was spacious, comfortable and peaceful. Tea and coffee making facilities plus a fridge outside the room.Stuart was only a call away if we needed anything. Erica showed us the room and explained how everything worked. We asked about nearby restaurants and she recommended Mumbai Silk. Excellent choice within walking distance. The room is within a family home at the top of 3 flights of stairs. The house is undergoing extensive refurbishment, it will be a wonderful home when finished. Just a couple of small points. One of the window in the smaller bedroom did not have any window covering, perhaps a blind could be fitted A waste bin in the main room would be useful.I We noticed some noise late at night from the rooms adjacent and below.
• simon (9/5): Top floor of a welcoming family home, great location. Larger than expected. Would use again. - I stayed in Room 2 on the top floor of a family home. This was a free upgrade. A nice family welcome and everything explained. Easy to find, approx 10 minute walk from Park Lane Metro. The room was plenty large enough for 2 people. with a comfortable bed. I had an ensuite room with everything you would expect to find, I did notice other separate bathrooms for use away from my room. Tea, coffee and milk available in the room and extra just outside the room. A fridge freezer, microwave and toaster were available on the same floor. Quiet location in a Cul de Sac. No problem with Wi-Fi. Number of house now on front wall. No lift, but wide and easy to use stairs. The house is work in progress but in no way hindered my stay.
• David (10/5): - Excellent Nothing
• Barry (9/5): -
• Christine (8/5): Good value stay with honest information given up front - This was a stay on the top floor of a family home as stated in the booking information. The family was friendly and welcoming. Helpful when needed but otherwise unobtrusive. My room was sparsely furnished but had everything I needed for a short stay and the bed was comfortable. Although my bathroom was separate from the room it was still private to me so I was happy with it and I was very happy to have a bath. Tea and coffee was provided and a fridge and microwave were available. The house was quite hard to find as google maps was sending us to the road at the back of the property. We got there in the end but a house number at the front of the drive would have been helpful. Water pressure to my sink wasn't great but the bath seemed fine. The house is a work in progress and there was a bit of organised clutter on the landing. It will be a stunning family home one day.
• Mullen (8/5): - Closeness to city . Grand building. Lovely hosts
• Michael (8/5): Fantastic Place to Stay !! - Fantastic hosts , Fantastic Property in a lovely area of Sunderland 10 mins walk from the city centre . Lovely rooms and a good price too ! Can't say anything negative Nothing to dislike. Property a bit hard to find so better instructions possibly ?
• Dawn (9/5): Superb - The rooms and the house are very spacious and comfortable. In a quiet leafy area within walking distance of town 15 mins
• George (10/5): Exceptional - Location. Friendly host. Comfortable accommodation Need an adaptor for foreign plugs
• Krisq (7/5): Good - Atractive price. Spacious apartment.
• John (8/5): Very good - large living area with all the amenities/parking. house being renovated so seemed rather "unconventional."
• Chris (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marc (8/5): Very good -
• Jasvir (10/5): Exceptional - It was very friendly and the bedrooms clean and tidy Nothing
• Rogan (10/5): Brilliant, will stay again - 3rd time staying at the property. The owners are very friendly and very accommodating. The size of the room is amazing. N/A
• Robert (9/5): Superb -
• Dave (7/5): Good - Room was nice and clean and as expected. There was a communal fridge/freezer, toaster and kettle outside the room which given I was the only customer staying at the time worked out well for me. Wi-Fi was never an issue. Overall a good visit. Access to the rooms were up 4 flights of stairs which is inconvenient but not an issue and you have to walk through the owners house which feels slightly intrusive but you get used to it. However the main house was a little unkept and untidy (but not dirty), they are in the long term process of doing the property up and have young kids which can obviously be messy but I do think they could take better care of the bits of the property that customers have to pass through to get to the rooms. But most of that is just nit-picking as once your in the room, it just feels like any other hotel room.
• Megan (8/5): Very good -
• Andrew (9/5): Superb -
• Paul (8/5): Good value, needs met. - Home from home, entirely met my need for digs whilst my place was having a makeover. Radiators in my room weren't working, a bit chilly but there was a mobile electric heater that took the chill off.
• Anthony (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jackson (9/5): Superb -
• Barry (9/5): Superb -
• William (7/5): Good - Room was beautiful and modern It was very cold room
• Jesson (5/5): Could have been better - Location, price and availability. Owner was reasonably responsive to our requests. Entrance to accommodation is off-putting as it’s untidy. Insufficient ventilation. No instructions as to how to operate the shower and blinds. Water not draining in the shower and had to be sorted out. Insufficient cutlery at times. Generally, there is great potential for a lovely stay but more attention to detail is required.
• Rogan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gary (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andy (8/5): Very good -
• Ian (8/5): Would recommend - location/ parking/ ease/ shower all brilliant! - Brilliant location, VERY quiet. Value for money. Really comfortable bed. Shower was good and BIG! Spacious room. Facilities were outside as stated. Will be an amazing project once completed. Parking outside in large driveway (5 cars). Ease of access was great. Would be good if facilities (kettle) were inside room but we knew that they wouldn't be,
• Gordon (9/5): Superb - Location, parking, comfortable. Good hosts. Used several times and will use again

• Reay (7/5): Good -
• Pierre (5/5): Passable -
• Claire (9/5): Excellent value for money and would use again whilst visiting family in the area. Close to the city centre. - We had the large double with an extra room with a single bed in it and a huge bathroom. There were tea and coffee facilities in the corridor and it was very spacious and exceptional value for money. Hosts gave us all the information we needed. Car parking included and we would stay again. We struggled to find the house number in the dark so would be useful to highlight the property number for future guests. As mentioned by previous guests, the property is under renovation but this did not affect our stay.
• Gordon (10/5): Exceptional - Ample space, parking facilities easy walk into city centre
• Gordon (10/5): Enjoyable stay - I was fortunate enough to be placed in the large space. It was really nice. The other rooms are equally as good, but smaller, but still big enough. Parking was good and allowed to leave the car during the day and walk into the centre. Always happy to use this facility
• Wayne2112 (8/5): Very good - Location is very close to city centre. Walk from station was 10 minutes. Less if your wanting to get the metro from Park Lane. One slight grumble. The area seems to be in a phone signal data blackspot. Two different service providers did not get phone signal. The WiFi was pretty much non existent up on the top floor. Maybe a WiFi booster might help. Otherwise an enjoyable stay. Thank you
• Martin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Heather (9/5): Great house and hosts - Nice spacious room, big suite, and bed is super comfortable. Host is amazing and helpful. Very quiet at night time. Shared fridge, microwave and kettle. Worked really well.
• Tazrout (10/5): Exceptional - The Home owner was so friendly. A good reception, perfect place, everything was clean. Thank you
• Antonio (10/5): Exceptional -
• Iain (10/5): Perfect location, space and comfort. - A real gem of a place to stay, the room was spacious, comfortable and peaceful. Tea and coffee making facilities plus a fridge outside the room. Yoko was only a call away if I needed anything.
• Diana (6/5): Comfortable and good value - Nice bed and shower On arrival wasn't told there was an electric blind so first night didn't sleep well as street light outside. Was rectified next day when told about the remote control for the blind. Would have liked tea making facilities in the room. No bedside light.
• Aidan (10/5): A home away from home! - The property is a beautiful period building in the equally beautiful suburb of Ashbrooke. It is conveniently located near a well serviced bus route and metro line (and if you feel like a canter, it’s only 10-12 minutes walk into the centre). The whole top floor is given over to homestay guests and I stayed in the beautiful family suite. The main room was large and spacious with a very comfortable bed, a sofa, corner desk, smart tv and some lovely ‘techie’ touches (remote controlled lights and blinds) that spoke to my inner gadget person! Off the main room there is an adjoining smaller room with a single bed, large wardrobe and drawers that have enough storage for any travelling person or family. The en-suite bathroom is stunning with the largest shower I think I’ve ever seen (the water pressure was excellent and the overhead shower was easy to use). There is tea and coffee making facilities (with a fridge and microwave) available in the landing for all guests to utilise. The bedding and towels were excellent quality. In fact, every aspect of the room was excellent quality. Communication with the owner was friendly, efficient and welcoming. I was made to feel at home immediately by Yoko! All in all, it was a lovely homestay!
• Nathan (8/5): Very good -

• Dinuk (10/5): Cozy and comfortable stay - Extremely hospitable and the host was flexible with my timings. Could recommend to anyone who wishes a stay in Sunderland Easy access to public transportation. Cozy rooms
• Pauline (1/5): Horrendous - Nothing It was like a swat ! I left and found an hotel.
• Lanre (1/5): Terrible. I could not stay a 5 minutes in the property as it is under renovation. No property under such condition shoul - Terrible. The description of the property is not as it is. The property is more like a junk yard. Renovation is ongoing at the property but this is not mentioned on booking.com. I couldn’t stay at the property. I left as soon as I got there. Property owner yet to apologise about the deceit and yet to pay my refund. This property should not be listed for short stay as it is currently under renovation. Booking. Com should carry out a quality control assessment of the property.
• Keeley (10/5): would stay again 110% - the staff were absolutely lovely and the rooms itself was beautiful. i’d definitely stay again at some point in the near future. n/a
• Ahmed (10/5): Exceptional -
• Konstantinos (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect. .
• Will (10/5): Exceptional - The owner of the property was friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived and couldn't do enough to help Ideal place to stay as it was 10 mins to the centre and a short walk to the stadium of light in which we where going to see a bruce springsteen concert Would highly recommend and visit again
• Gerard (7/5): 'A work in progress', but practical and great value for money. - Ashbrooke is very close to the city centre, a 10-15 min walk. It is in a quiet area of the city. The owners were attentive but not in your face, a great balance. The room and the floor we stayed in were nicely finished. We had a good-sized room with a beautiful en suite. Great shower, plenty of hot water. The room and en suite were clean and tidy. The house, a beautiful Victorian era build, with lots of potential, is being renovated. It is in the final throes of being finished. It was a bit of a worry at first sight, but the room and the floor we stayed in were nicely finished. We had a well finished, good-sized room with a beautiful en suite. This is not for you if you are easily put off or like complaining.
• Dave (7/5): Good -
• Judit (10/5): Excellent peaceful stay. Host is very kind and friendly, communication is very easy and clear. Definitely book again whe - The property is well oriented. 15 mins walk from the center or the nearest Metro station and buses where different destinations such us Newcastle center or Newcastle airport, yet very peaceful and quiet. The property is huge, space, mixed of Victorian and modern style and continues developing. The bed was very comfortable. Rooms and en-suites bathroom clean and fresh. Very happy with the stay.
• Tanmoy (8/5): Very good -
• Abdullah (7/5): The apartment has a very great prospect as it is a quite luxurious estate but feels like a construction site outside of - The room was spacious, clean, modern and up to standard Some little details where missing in the apartment description
