10/10 Excellent

"A lovely spacious apartment with comfortable beds and in a great location. Emma was very responsive and everything about the check in/out process was easy. Everything you could need for a short stay."

Binchester Crag Farm

8/10 Good

"House itself and owners were lovely and couldnâ€™t have done enough. We had issues with bugs and flies. We left the doors open due to how hot it was and we got a fly infestation the first night which took a while to clean up. We ran out of bin bags and toilet rolls at one point so owner brought us more. The freezer was tiny so be prepared if youâ€™re going for a long time and taking a lot of freezer food. Overall the house was lovely but just a few things were disappointing with the stay"
