Convenient location in Gilesgate and a well prepared house - ideal for our stay visiting family in Durham. The house has been modernised throughout with new kitchen and bathrooms. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable and our host was able to swiftly provide details of safe dog walking areas close to the house.Overall a really great experience. Thank you
