Modern ausgestattes Haus mit allem was man braucht. Komplett ausgestatte Küche von Messern, über Töpfe, Pfannen und reichlich Besteck. Backofen und Mikrowelle ebenfalls vor Ort.

Die Lage des Hause ist wenn man nicht motorisiert ist zu Fuẞ aus der Innenstadt beschwerlich da bergauf. Wenn dann noch Gepäck dabei ist … aber ein Uber kostet ca. 6-8£ . Wäre kein Ausschlusskriterium das Objekt nicht nochmal zu mieten.

Clean, spacious and modern, great kitchen/bathroom facilities

Maybe just instructions on how to turn the heating down as it was very warm, but that’s just me being picky :)

Location was excellent, very easy to walk into the centre

location and modern, tasteful

The ground floor was unclean, smelly and things broken in downstairs bathroom. The thermostat and oven didn’t work properly.

Clean and very quiet. Close to town via car or walking paths. Parking at Prince Bishops Car Park is reasonable and very close to downtown. I would rent it again if in the area. Our favorite restaurant in Durham was Riverview Kitchen for breakfast or lunch. Grocery and restaurant deliveries are available here via Uber Eats and similar services.

The online guest instructions said "thermostat on wall." We think the regular thermostat shown in the Booking.com living/dining room picture above the wall phone was replaced by a non-descript wireless device but had no remote control. We hunted for three days and found an un-labelled device in the laundry room that turned on the heat. There was still no way to set the temperature. So we turned on the heat, it got hot, then we turned it off to keep the temperature reasonable. On the other hand, the separate hot water was scalding hot, so be careful. The online instructions for the garbage pickup schedule were useless. We eventually searched the internet to find out the pickup day from the town website. Nearly all furniture, dining items and even the kitchen cabinets are sourced from Ikea. Fortunately we found an Allen wrench in a kitchen drawer as we needed to tighten some of the loose Ikea bolts in the dining chairs. The place is new and clean, and its great to have a parking space, but don't expect the character normally associated with a rental home that is used by long term owners. No shelves full of books to read for example. Host and Stay, the property managers, can be difficult to reach. Unfortunately like many organizations these days, you can't get contact information for a specific person who is local and knows the property details. They operate more like an online call center. By way of example, I wanted more information about the garbage pickup day mentioned earlier. I asked via their customer service email and they cut and pasted the online "guest book" information I already had. Soo annoying!! I also got three separate email requests from Host and Stay for a damage waiver or security deposit even after I had paid the damage waiver and received a receipt from Superhog, the group Host and Stay uses to collect such fees.

modern comfortable property in good quiet location (we enjoyed the mile walk into Durham)

the WiFi was poor and there were no instructions for the boiler! I could not locate a thermostat or a timer to ensure efficient usage. Host & Stay also took payment on arrival when I’d already paid in full, meaning I went overdrawn so had to sort out on first day of holiday - not ideal.

Spacious accommodation, equipped with everything you need. Safe surroundings with a 20 minute walk to the center of town

The size of the property is very good, with one bedroom, one small bathroom and one laundry room (plus a backyard) on the ground floor. The kitchen (with a small breakfast bar desk), a good-sized living room and dining table are located on the 1st floor. Another twin-bedded bedroom and a bathroom are located on the 2nd floor. On this same 2nd floor, there is one big master suite bedroom with a bathroom. The furniture is modernized and comfortable. However, closets are either absent or in short in the 2 bedrooms, except that the master bedroom has a big closet. The kitchen is also very well-equipped, with oven, dishwasher, microwave, kettle and coffee making machine. Coffee is good too.

The location is a big headache to those who do not drive. Walking to the city centre is via some rural muddy roads and it takes about 25 minutes. Walking back from city centre after sunset during winter is almost impossible since there is no light at all for some of the muddy roads, and it is upslope most of the time. Taking Uber from city centre costs about GBP9.
