Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests have highlighted the property's cleanliness, describing it as spotless and immaculate. One isolated complaint about cleanliness does not significantly impact the overall high standard observed in the reviews.
The location is frequently mentioned as being excellent, with guests enjoying the quiet town, local walks, and proximity to shops and pubs. The scenic Weardale moors and the ease of exploring nearby attractions contribute to the high rating.
Comfort is generally praised, with guests finding the property cosy and the furnishings stylish. However, some guests noted issues with heating control and a desire for more comfortable seating arrangements, which slightly lowers the score.
Facilities like the hot tub, cinema room, and well-equipped kitchen are well-received. Nonetheless, some guests experienced minor issues with heating, Wi-Fi connectivity, and a lack of certain amenities like a washer/dryer or a place to eat meals comfortably.
Guests often express gratitude for the welcome treats and the owner's attentiveness, which adds a personal touch to their stay. It is important to note that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Unpacked the car. Repacked the car all within thirty minutes. The pubic hairs on the bathroom sink was lovely to see. The grease on the kitchen drawers was absolutely disgusting. The kettle. Wow I never seen a more filthy inside kettle ever. The tunnel cinema room well no Wi-Fi just 60 dvds. Then the owners stipulated itâs not there fault youâve paid the money for Wi-Fi in your package as the room is in a castle. The smell in the cinema room absolutely disgusting, damp putrid. Cooking utensils all plastic melted to half way near the handle. I have taken photos and I will be taking this further with Skyes.
