We loved our trip to Durham. As we had our little dog with us, we were happy to find this dog-friendly home. The property is a bit out of the city centre but that was actually good as there is a lovely walk into town from the house, which was an excellent dog walk. This walk into town takes about 20 minutes and takes you through the forest and then along the river - with a brilliant view of the cathedral en-route. There are also buses and taxis readily available which go into town along the busy main road. As the property is commercially hosted, it lacks the personal touch we have experienced in some other Airbnbs, but it was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Note that you have to pay an additional £25 for damage insurance in order to receive checkin instructions, a proviso which is included in the listing but is easily overlooked. We only realised this when we were almost at the property but it was easy to arrange and the Stay team are very responsive and easy to contact.
It was a lovely place to stay, very clean and comfy but is a bit far away from city centre. Overall it’s a nice experience!
We loved our stay here! The house was super comfortable and we felt right at home. It’s obvious they listened to other people’s comments and did everything to make you feel at home and improve from when they first started. Lots of great extras - luxury shampoo / conditioner / body wash. Lots of milk and kitchen extras. We didn’t need to buy any extras. The owners made a special effort as we stayed over Xmas. They left us a lovely gift package which was unexpected. Location fantastic. We will definitely be back here as we travel to Durham often. Thank you for the lovely welcome!
A nice house but not as comfortable as we expected. Strange sofa under the stairs, mattresses lumpy. Good location, very quiet, good to have a proper drive to park on. Locking the conservatory door was almost impossible - infact it was unlocked when we arrived, so I doubt the cleaners could lock it. The house was clean and well maintained.
First when we got there it was hard to unlock the door with the keys. Got inside and the Kitchen smelled like Indian food which wasn’t pleasant. We then realized we had barely any cleaning supplies and only a bar of soap useful for one day. We couldn’t turn the heat up when it got cold, then the host imposed strict rules for heat and usage of the place. It was a painful experience.
Garden Cottage is located in Gilesgate in the city of Durham in the North East, just a short walk from the city centre.
There is a truly memorable scenic walk from Gilesgate into the city centre which takes you past the best view point in Durham. This amazing viewpoint is less than a mile from the property and from here, you’ll be able to see numerous iconic landmarks and attractions including Durham Cathedral, Durham Castle, the Bandstand, the River Wear, and Durham Viaduct. The walk is also wonderful for enjoying a variety of wildlife including otters, squirrels and kingfishers.
Named ‘One of the Best Cities in the World to Visit in 2020’ by The Independent and voted ‘The Best City in the UK’ by Condé Nast’s traveller magazine readers, the beautiful city is packed with history and charm.
It has the perfect blend of mediaeval heritage and a modern, vibrant feel. The cobbled streets are peppered with restaurants, bars, pubs and shops. Take a leisurely stroll near the River Wear which continues on past Durham Cathedral and the 900 year old Durham Castle.
Durham Cathedral is an outstanding building originally constructed between 1093 and 1133. The Norman architecture is especially important as it is now the oldest surviving building with a stone vaulted ceiling of such a large scale. You can climb the Tower’s 325 steps for incredible views of the city and countryside. If you’re a fan of Harry Potter, head to the Chapter House where they filmed one of the Hogwarts classrooms.
The centre of Durham is a short 20-minute walk from Garden Cottage.
The property is just a short distance away from the A1(M).
Durham train station is also 30-minutes away on foot so nearby towns and cities can easily be reached via rail. There’s also a taxi rank in close proximity to the train station.
There are plenty of bus routes throughout Durham. Hop on the Arriva 6 route to visit Barnard Castle or the number 22 which travels through Seaham and Sunderland.
