Guest suite in Brandon

Cosy, quiet, pet-friendly, self contained.

AllieRating, 5 stars3 days ago

We had a wonderful stay at Ian and Lois’s self-contained guest suite. Every detail was carefully thought out, and the space was spotless and extremely comfortable. The amenities were exactly what we needed and more! Their guest guide was incredibly helpful, especially the recommendations for dog-friendly restaurants, which we loved. The location was also perfect, with such an easy and scenic drive into the city centre. Ian and Lois were fantastic hosts, welcoming, attentive, and thoughtful. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!

Lovely apartment near Durham City

Ronald ArthurRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Nigel's apartment was spotlessly clean on arrival and it was really nice to be greeted in person by the host - even though we kept him waiting - sorry Nigel. Excellent location with easy access to local bus services. That was great for us having travelled to the area by train, but we were still able to visit all the places we wanted to go by using the X20 only yards away from the accomodation and the 21 or X21 bus stop only 5 mins walk away. We couldn't have asked for better accommodation or host. All in all a memorable experience which we would recommend to everyone. Thank you we had a lovely week.

Newton Rise

JanaRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Excellent place to stay for a quick visit to Durham - it was quiet, very clean and really well kitted out. The beds were comfy, and the heating switched on immediately and got the place toasty very quickly. The biscuits and milk were a nice touch. Could not fault it, and so much better then a comfort Inn or other generic chain hotel. Thanks for the perfect stay.

Central Durham & University Apt / 2 Free Parking

KarenRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Lovely modern apartment with good facilities. Comfy beds and nice to have 2 bathrooms. We found the walk into town a bit too much so used taxis which were very reasonably priced. Ate at Little Sicily one night, following a review seen on Airbnb. Good food, very reasonable. Ate at Uno Momento in town also, which we highly recommend. Thank you for the wine that greeted us upon arrival!
