Guest Reviews
- Andrew (10/5): - Great location within easy walking distance of the historic town centre. Picturesque outlook from the spacious living area.
High standard of presentation and comfort reflecting owner's careful attention to detail. Owner's personal welcome onsite. Easy and secure parking. Heating, etc. all easy to operate. Mattress a bit soft, but we find that in most short-term lets.
- Jennifer (10/5): -
- Phoebe (10/5): Awesome stay - We had an outstanding stay. The service from Chris was exceptional from check-in to check-out, he went above and beyond to ensure comfort. The rooms were spacious, immaculately clean, and well-appointed with modern amenities. The location was ideal, close to major attractions, yet quiet enough for a peaceful stay. Overall, Durham Riverside Apartment exceeded my expectations in every way, and would highly recommend it to anyone! Non
- Clare (10/5): Beautiful apartment - Fantastic location - close to everything and yet very peaceful and quiet. Great to watch rowers, swans and ducks from the balcony. Very nicely decorated and furnished. Everything you might need just like a home from home. Hard to think of anything as it was so lovely. Only one thing we would have liked a choice of pillows as we prefer firmer ones.
- Margaret (10/5): The apartment was spacious and comfortable, in a good location with a lovely view of the river. - The host met us at the apartment It was good to have someon to show us around the flat, explaining how to use the equipment and telling us about the city - recommended places to visit, eat etc.
- Heather (10/5): What’s not to love, perfect! -
- Paula (10/5): Absolute luxury a hidden gem in my opinion. Well situated and very safe. Can’t speak highly enough about it 💛 - Absolute luxury well situated and a hidden gem in my opinion Very safe comfortable and truly relaxing
- helen (9/5): Very comfortable, well equipped flat. Ideal to combine work and leisure -
- Melissa (10/5): If I could paint a picture of the view from the 3 downstairs window it would hang it in my home. - It was very thoughtful to have items ready for breakfast. The rental had absolutely every comfort. From plenty of nice dishes, silverware, wine glasses and even a bottle of wine. The bathroom are spotless and up to date. I loved sitting outside on the deck or sitting on the couch watching people and boats go by. It is too bad I probably will not be back to Durham. We loved the area. It did not come across as a total tourist town. We had just finish walking the Coast 2 Coast walk and wanting to travel to Durham to see the sights before flying home. I am ever so slightly sensitive to air fresheners, cologne, and perfumes. The upstairs had an air fresher in the hall. However I did not feel I needed to ask if I could unplug it. Again I am just ever so slightly sensitive.
- Nicky (10/5): Gorgeous apartment, lovely hosts - will definitely book again! - A beautiful apartment in a fabulous location overlooking the river. Perfect for visiting the university or to use as a base for exploring further afield. Loved all of the little touches - the welcome hamper was a lovely surprise and we were glad of the free Netflix when the weather turned. Everything was perfect.
- Mark (10/5): We just loved the property - Very clean and we were provided with basic food and drink items for breakfast. It was our daughters graduation weekend and a bouquet of roses was on the kitchen table for her.
- Ann (10/5): An outstanding apartment in Durham - This apartment was comfortable, warm and conveniently located. The furnishings were to the highest standard. The view from the balcony was fantastic. Cannot fault it at all, its outstanding. The owners left some special touches to welcome us. Nothing its perfect

- Susan (9/5): Stylish, comfortable and convenient. - The location is excellent. The apartment is comfortable and stylish. The top shelves in the kitchen holding crockery and glasses would be inaccessible to shorter people. Could you provide a step?
The ensuite is beautiful but a hook for dressing gown or bathrobe would be useful.
- Robert (10/5): Beautiful Apartment - The apartment was amazing. Beautifully decorated with anlot of thought gonenin to provide everything you needed. The welcome package was brilliant. Milk, bread, croissants, individual jam pots and real butter, plus a bottle of wine on arrival! Netflix available for when you're not out and private parking garage. Also there's a deck outside looking over the river. Cant say enough! Nothing really.

- Richard (10/5): Perfect accommodation in every way - Beautiful apartment with river terrace, spotlessly clean, furnished and equipped to the highest standard. Secure free parking and a very convenient location by Elvet Bridge. Highly recommended, we would stay again.
- Stephen (10/5): Simply Perfect. - The word immaculate is often over used - but not in this case. It would be hard to imagine a more desirable place to stay when visiting Durham. The apartment was spacious, pristine, tastefully furnished and ideally located, providing both peace and quiet and immediate access to all the sites in the centre of this historic city. Added to that were beautiful views of the river from the terrace, on-site parking, perfect hosts and a very generous welcome pack. What more could anyone ask? Nothing I can think of.
- Kenneth (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment and location. The goodies were most welcome.
Chris made us feel very welcome when showing us around the apartment. Nothing

The result is a cosy imaculately clean home from home, after a day of exploring Durham and Newcastle it was a real pleasure to return home to the apartment and relax.
Dont look anywhere else, this place is a gem. Everything was perfect.
- Alan (10/5): We have been to many places around the world but never thought where I grew up could surprise me. - Everything was well laid out and perfectly explained by Chris. The location to die for. We arrived quite late so the wow moment came the next morning when we awoke. Opening the curtains and seeing the view of the river so close, coupled with the bridge and the old town on the other side of the river was magical.
- Susan (10/5): Had a fabulous stay in this beautiful apartment in my home city of Durham. - We have had an amazing stay in this beautiful apartment can not fault it everything perfect never stayed anywhere so clean will definitely be back.

We were provided with a fantastic hamper of bread, croissants, eggs, coffee capsules, milk etc. sufficient for breakfast on all the days of our stay.
Appreciated the supply of dressing gowns for a cosy night in.
Owners were on hand for any questions we had and very accommodating with allowing us to leave our bags for an extra hour after check out.
Definitely recommend this as a place to stay.
- Simon (10/5): - This property truly is a 5 star. It is clean and modern with all the required amenities as well as lots of detailed extras including welcome gifts and robes to be used during your stay. Chris was an absolutely amazing host with attention to detail and was always available to offer assistance and answer our questions. His restaurant recommendations were spot on.
