Stunning farmhouse cottage in beautiful area of Easington. Decorated beautifully throughout. Great provisions from the host, who responded quickly to a query we needed answering. Perfect base for me and my family to visit and host family from the north east. Definitely book again.

Cottage was beautiful and had everything we needed for our stay the log burner is a lovely touch in the cold weather. Kitchen was well equipped a lot of thought has gone into what was needed. We had some confusion finding the key box as it was dark when we arrived and we could see two boxes on the side of the cottage next door but we didn't release that cottage was slit in two and our key box was in a different place I'm sure if day light it would of been fine as in the dark it blended into the wall. We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend this beautiful cottage.

Total luxury. An absolute gem of a property. Everything from parking, entry, location and communication. But the building itself is unbelievable in it's beauty.

Huge space for a two bed farmhouse! Quirky, historic and interesting. We stayed for a funeral so can’t comment on local attractions. <br/>The the key lock location is a nightmare - it took me half an hour to find - not good after a stressful 5 hour drive - and the company agent clearly didn’t know where it was either. (It’s on the wall on the right as you drive into the courtyard and their parking is on the right of the building - quite away from the Farmhouse front door if you’re unloading heavy suitcases / dogs / kids etc. ) The street lights aren’t working so it was very dark. The MP’s office staff who work in the building in front of the farmhouse asked us to move our car in the morning. <br/>Be aware that the company has an accidental damage policy which adds a minimum £10 to their quoted cost, as well as a £60 cleaning fee so an expensive stay given the location. No private garden for dogs. All that said, I sort of liked it and would probably stay there again.

We’ve stayed in this property many times before. Very comfortable sofas and beds. Great shower. Great location. Owner visited to change batteries on HIVE, brilliant thank you.<br/><br/>Host and Stay were slow to respond to HIVE needing new batteries. Fortunately Cottage owner stepped up and solved the problem.

The house was brilliant, the beds were bigger than described. There was a small outdoor patio area away from the house you could use if wanted. The house was set in a very quiet private road with green areas (brilliant for walking the dog around). The house was much larger than we thought and very clean. Everything worked as it should, the local chip shop (Harry's) was lovely. The local beaches were clean and dog friendly- we spent a lot of our time at seaham glass beach.

beautifully appointed accomodation. The owners have converted the barn to an excellent standard. there is a pub the half moon down the road that offers superb food with a friendly welcome.<br/>the checking in was not easy and the keylock location took some finding. this could have been made easier by the hosts but the accomodation more than made up for it. the heating was on for us. some logs would have been an additional welcome as stated in welcome pack but again this did not detract from the beautiful accomodation.

Well-appointed kitchen <br/>Good amount of space for family<br/>Enjoyed watching the horses training next door!<br/><br/>As soon as I saw every room had a plug-in air freshener I knew something was up. There are serious issues with damp on many of the walls; the main bedroom and bathroom in particular. The bathroom smelt like an old castle (literally the only way I can think to describe it) and only had a very dirty little extractor fan for ventilation, no window. I appreciate it’s a very old building but that doesn’t mean it should be allowed to have such problems and be rented out for £150+ a night. There were also significant stains on the main bedroom carpet. <br/><br/>The biggest issue, however, was the hosting company. We never met the actual property owners so can’t speak for them, but Host and Stay are not my kind of company. A hidden £25 damage waiver (or £250 deposit if you can be bothered to try to get it back) is only requested immediately AFTER you’ve already booked and a reminder email is sent as soon as you’ve arrived at the property to tell you that you’re responsible for any damage. It’s terrible way to do business as it feels designed to catch you out and make money out of you, and set us up for the least relaxing stay, especially with two small children and a dog in tow! Thankfully the kids and dog were impeccably behaved but the lingering thought of ‘you break it, you buy it’ meant we felt we were walking on eggshells (something we wish the noisy neighbours upstairs had done!) I fully understand the need to protect the property but to only reveal the cost of additional charges after you’ve booked and paid your money is frustrating and flies in the face of the ‘transparency’ that Host and Stay claimed they offer.<br/><br/>I would not stay at a Host and Stay property again because of this damage-driven attitude, never mind the problems with the house.

Convenient location. Clean, tidy inside and nicely furnished. Very comfortable furniture especially the sofa and the bed.<br/><br/>Couldn’t get terrestrial tv programmes. Lots of weeds around the outside of the property making it look untidy. Large dung heap on the other side of the wall directly behind the garden, creating a bad smell.<br/>Inside the property was a little dark, creating the need for lights on during the day, but not a problem.

Would have been nice to have accessed the property!<br/><br/>Managed through Host & Stay Via booking.com.<br/>We arrived having confirmed our arrival time 24hrs before and also paying insurance deposit that was not advertised when booking. Only to find someone was staying there. No previous notification of this. No help to find alternative accommodation. No apology. Host & Stay said the property was uninhabitable due tk plumbing work… evidently not the case. But we only got this information after arriving and calling them directly. there was no advanced warning. <br/>So far I have not received and refund of the booking or the insurance money.

Good layout and property location and plenty of parking<br/><br/>Stuffy rooms couldn’t open the bedroom windows. Could have been a lot cleaner in the bedrooms. Hair ball on the carpet dead wood louse on the pillow and used contact lenses on the floor. And rising damp on the walls.

Beautiful property with lots of history inside and out<br/><br/>Property was fabulous although slightly unsure where to park

Karen

We liked the house, pretty cold when we arrived but the heating east to work. Nice big rooms, great bathrooms and bedrooms. Generally as described except the enclosed garden - it’s absolutely not suitable for a dog to run around. It’s a patio with a couple of benches away from the house. But overall we would rebook.

Nicola

Upon arriving key box was difficult to locate, as it was on a unlit wall and not obvious. No gas at property at all. The house was cold, no heating or hot water. <br/>When Host and Stay contacted an offer of full rufund if my family left, or 50% refund if they stayed. Due to cold elderly relatives had to go, however no option for the other two family members. This was a bank holiday weekend. Nowhere else to stay. Now trying to get a refund. I feel it is reasonable to get a full refund, the property could not be used. This has been a mightmare for my family, and spoilt their holiday. How can a property be let out without gas?

absolutely beautiful farmhouse. My ideal home.

It was well presented, clean and had all the comforts of home with easy parking close to the barn. It was quiet and had good access to all routes. A bit of old world charm. We loved it.<br/><br/>It’s really nothing to bemoan but it would have been good to have enough dishwasher tablets and loo roll for the five days and an extra dishcloth and tea towel.

This property is simply stunning, it is finished to a high standard, a home from home which makes you not want to return to your original home, what I call a danger booking! Our engineers thoroughly enjoyed their stay. Plenty of parking, space and places to relax. Truly a wonderful stay and our engineers may just be returning!

Beautiful interior and very well equipped from the kitchen through to books. Very comfortable stay.<br/><br/>Although this was on only 20 mins drive from Durham not much going on in Easington

We liked how cleanly/spotless the property was and how fully equipped it was with all of the essentials and more. Decor was beautiful and really well thought out. Modern, yet also In keeping with the age of the property. A great balance. Very peaceful. The place was within a short driving distance from Seaham which was fab because we’d come for our daughters birthday and we all wanted to go hunting sea glass. There was Plenty of room for parking and the owners where very friendly and down to Earth people. We’ll stay here again.<br/><br/>Nothing.
