Great little spot for a solo traveler to rest their head. Easy access, quiet, clean. Responsive host & great value. couldn't have asked for more.

Great place for a single person to visit area. Close to Durham yet surrounded by woods and walks. All you need with a more than adequate kitchen.

I couldn't have asked for a better host than Norman! This was my first international trip, and I was skeptical about almost everything, but when I visited and talked with Norman, I felt at home after such a long and tiresome journey with lots of ups and downs and issues with flight timings and immigration. He's a very kind and helpful person and for a few days when he wasn't at home, I had a few issues but he made sure to stay connected to me via whats-app! He even lent me his guitar which I enjoyed playing during my stay at his place. I'd definitely recommend anyone who's out there in the world, seeking a safe space in Durham to have faith in Norman's hospitality! And don't forget to enjoy and visit places in Durham, which is a really old, versatile and beautiful place, as all your belongings and important things are secured within Norman's Bijou :) Enjoy!

I was on a really tight budget, so this tiny, tiny place met my limited means. It is ingeniously laid out, with an excellent kitchen. The bathroom is minute, and to reach the wash hand basin you have to reach over the loo. Simple solution, wash in the kitchen! The bed is high, and I was unable to get up into it. I had to use a chair as a step. Once in, all was fine! The host tells me he had been unwell, which explained the unclean handover to me. I had to clean up myself when I arrived after a five-hour drive from the South. The location is lovely - set back in a small wooded valley just off the A177 and parking couldn't be easier. Note, the exterior photo is not of the apartment, it's of the house next door. Altogether you get what you pay for, and this was an inexpensive way to spend a weekend in the City of Durham. With a lot more cleaning before check-in I would have rated it higher - but don't expect a 5* hotel!!

I stayed at Norman's place during my semester abroad and I couldn't be happier with my choice of accomodation. The apartment has three rooms - a small bedroom, a shower and toilet room and a relatively large kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need for a (shorter and) longer stay (including an oven, microwave, induction cooker, fridge, keetle and toaster). Norman offered me the opportunity to wash and dry my laundry in his flat right next door. A bus station is a five minute walk away and buses run 5 times an hour to Durham with a 3 minute bus journey to the Billy B Library and 10 minutes bus journey to Durham market place. I highly recommend the apartment, especially in light of the housing crisis in Durham.
