The directions and the greeting at the apartment by James were exceptional. The location was convenient to the shops and places of interest (the cathedral) and the view from the terrace across the river simply wonderful. The apartment was very clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen well-appointed and the bed comfortable. My wife and I had a great time in Durham.CharlieI highly recommend this rental.
Sparkling new, fabulous river view, ideal location
This modern, cozy apartment is fabulously located in town. We loved walking a few steps across the street to the indoor market hall and to Leonardâs delicious coffee house. The high end amenities, excellent beds and bedding and two bathrooms were luxurious. The view over the river is really special. Although it was a chilly day, we sat in the protected nook on the deck in the sun comfortably for hours. We were lucky to see a river otter swimming and diving. âAn otter on the Wear, you may see but once a yearâŠâ We so appreciated the biscuits James provided and the fridge stocked with milk, pastries, fruit and a bottle of bubbly. Every detail has been considered. We highly recommend the River Retreat. Thank you for the lovely stay!
Aesthetically Beautiful as was the location , and made to feel so welcome from James and Trish whoâs attention to detail surpasses any residence weâve ever stayed at , couldnât fault it and canât wait to return ! We Absolutely loved it !! George
