Nice and spacious place. Lots of care and thought has gone into providing everything youâd need. Perfect location for Bishop Auckland sights, including walkable to Kynren (only 20 mins easy walk, avoiding waiting in a queue to get in or out after the show).
Second stay here and just as amazing as the first. Clean,spacious,welcoming. Communication with host was great and property just as described on the site.Love the "home from home" feel and the very comfortable surroundings will hopefully return in 2025Hopef
What a gem! Spacious flat with huge comfy beds. The host has been so thoughtful to leave all sorts of things to help guests feel at home like books & games, toiletries, food and even coffee. Just off the town centre. We'll definitely be back!
visiting BA for the weekend with friends, the apartment was an excellent choice. Very homely with all the expectations of comfort supplied.
Thanks so much for allowing us to use your home
Spacious, well furnished and equipped Ist floor apartment. But definite health and safety issue. There is no handrail on the stairs up to the apartment, nor are the stairs lit until a light belatedly comes on far too late. If these problems were rectified, it would be an excellent base to explore the lovely little town and its attractions.
As described, everything you needed,clean,spacious,quiet, modern, bread,spreads,coffee,tea,sugar provided (and fresh coffee grinder), power shower,jet bath.. ,toiletries and towels included can't find any faults...highly recommend and would book again if needed to be in the area.
Accommodation was spacious and comfortable with a good heating system. Conveniently located for parking and not far from main attractions. A word of warning though, steps to front door of property could prove problematic for the less mobile. Also side of bath quite high. I only mention this as Iâm no longer a youngster. All in all we enjoyed our stay.
We needed a stopover and this was a really good find. The rooms are big, itâs clean and has everything you need. We found it a quiet and convenient place to stay. We could park right at the door as described. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms warm during winter. Emma (host) was super responsive to all my questions. My one caution is the entry - the stairs are incredibly short (less than an adult foot wide) so not easy to navigate. If we need to stay in BA again, we would definitely be back.
A well situated property, close to the Market Place and Auckland castle. We much appreciated how warm and comfortable the apartment is and everything we needed for a lovely stay was in situ. Just one suggestion - as the stairs are quite steep and we are ancient, a handrail would be most helpful.
We stayed for one night and overall were very satisfied the place, here are the pros and cons.
Pros: The place gives a very warm, cosy and homely feeling. State of the art heating tech, so heating could be controlled easily. Kitchen had bread butter jam, cereals, coffee machine, kettle microwave, etc for breakfast. Towels were provided for. The jacuzzi bath tub was absolutely lovely (complementarytoiletrieswere there too!) ... sooo relaxing! Everything for babies and toddlers was provided for (travel cot with a cozy duvet and pillow, highchair and also a bath seat). There were alot of board games to play and toys for toddlers. My little one really enjoyed the stay. TV had free channels BBC iplayer as well as a netflix guest account for guests (that was a very nice gesture!)
Cons: There was alot of paint peeling from one bedroom, kitchen and bathroom wall. Also the bathroom shelf looked like it needed repair as it was covered in plastic and duck tape. But the host did mention these with an apology in the welcome message.
I admit, It put my husband off for a bit but the positives outweighed the negative so we didn't give it another thought.
Overall it was a very comfortable, peaceful and relaxing stay.
Most holiday homes I've been to the hot water always ran out after one person had a bath or the water pressure would be really bad, but this place was absolutely great!! We had no issue with anything.
So I would definitely recommend this place if you are not bothered by the cons.
Thank you Emma, for making this stay comfortable and possible in a short time period.
We gathered from booking that the flat would be basic but bins hadn't been emptied, no towels on 2 beds and the 1 that was left was wet... bathroom hadn't been cleaned and there was washing left in the machine. Stay suited our occasion but wouldn't be able to stay for more than 3nights with a young family.
Toasty warm, clean and very comfy beds. Great comms from Owner & good recommendations for eating out. Very central location for a catch up with friends. Just a shame about the leaking/ tile damage on the bath which was a bit off putting but hopefully will be sorted for our next visit as weâll certainly be back, a great find!
Comfortable place to stay, large rooms with plenty of light, secure yard for the dogs. "Food " Panda Panda đŒ the best Chinese takeaway, large portions, more than enough for anyone with a good appetite and the flavours were out of this world, only 6 minutes away from the flat.
