The hosts Sam and Lesley are really friendly.

The house was centrally located near the palace, Spanish gallery and museums. The house was spotlessly clean with a very large front room, a well-equipped kitchen, a bathroom and an extra toilet. The bedroom on the top floor is enormous. All in all highly recommended!

We had a lovely time at the Assembly Rooms.

Our hosts were friendly and helpful. The accomodation was comfortable and had all we needed for a great week in the North East. Our hosts also own and run the cafe under the accommodation and the service and food was fantastic.
