Cozy Apartments in the Center of London

"When we were looking for somewhere to stay we were concerned that there had been no reviews written for here since 2022? However due to being offered at a good price and being satisfied with what reviews were offered we chose to stay for two nights in May 2024. The checkin was easy and the accommodation (Hen House) is well presented, comfortable and warm. We found the information folder made us smile as it referenced info from 2019 & clearly hadn’t been updated for some time. The lack of any information detailing walks we could take from the accommodation with our two dogs was also frustrating. That said, we got what we wanted, a peaceful stay in a handy location. We had an enjoyable time exploring Durham city as well as Hamsterley Forest. We self catered with no issues. The WiFi was essential for the smart TV to work, so when the WiFi was knocked off on our last day before we had even left, meant our last impression wasn’t great. If we needed to stay in the area again we would consider returning though."

Durham Riverside Apartments

"This hidden gem is the best apartment I have ever stayed in. The quality of the furniture and furnishings is second to none. The communication from the owners meant we easily found the underground car parking included in the price. The owner was there to meet and greet us. He gave a comprehensive tour of the pristine apartment and outside. A host of goodies were there for us to enjoy. Fresh croissants, bread, individually wrapped quality butter, milk, teas, coffee, hot chocolate, jams, eggs and wine! Overlooking the River Wear, we relaxed on the generous balcony watching the world go by. I could have stayed there forever but we were due at an event at the Cathedral. The apartment is so central. If you are reasonably fit (I’m 71 and could do it!) the shops and cathedral are easily accessible uphill all the way. If not so fit, there are buses and taxis. The owner left booklets and a folder with all necessary information. I was very reluctant to write this review as I’d like to keep it all to myself. Go on, treat yourself. It’s worth it!"
