"Brilliant communication from the host. Immaculate house in a quiet residential street. Had a driveway which fit our two cars comfortably. The house itself was beautiful. Stunning decor and attention to detail. Modern appliances and everything you need. Beds were super comfy with soft linen. The location was great as shops and retail park just a few minutes drive away, Durham was approx ten mins by car. The welcome booklet was so detailed it helped us lots. Would absolutely come stay here again,...

"Safety is rated below standard as: 1. At nights, the garden has no lighting so you cannot see what's going on in the garden. Very scary. 2. Front of the house too has no lighting too. Very dark at nights. 3. No secure chains behind the door to safeguard clients. Different clients use the services so, a secondary source of security should be installed as anyone with a duplicated key could gain entrance whilst clients are in bed. 4. Garden has nothing happening as a garden. Dirty, no flowers...
