This is a beautifully furnished and well located property with a fabulous view across a valley and within easy reach of Durham City centre.

It was very welcoming to find a selection of items which meant we didn't have to chase around immediately for the basic grocery supplies. Thank you so much. However, as we entered September with temperatures dropping in the morning, we had difficulty with the hot water system. On two mornings the system failed to produce hot water and we weren't able to fire up the heating. Sadly, also the washing machine and dryer both had mould and had not been properly cleaned. The owner however was very helpful and the system was back up again later on each day.

Absolutely magic short getaway for our anniversary.

From the moment we arrived the property felt special, the decor and soft furnishings are to a very high standard, property is designed to make the most of the beautiful view with the fantastic windows. Hot tub area was perfect with the seating, under cover area, lights and fire. Thank you so much for helping us celebrate in style. PS - we never left the property, except to walk the dog!!

We had a lovely stay at Arbour House Bungalow.

The hosts were great and went above and beyond. The beds were really comfortable. It was useful having a large capacity washing machine and dryer. Some of the house trimmings weren't as new looking as the photos but just the usual wear and tear.
