My Way Guest House

Nice gardens and view. Self service breakfast good, rooms are part of a house so noise/privacy is what you would expect if sharing a house. Public areas are very comfortable and generous. Shame that tea/coffee facilities are outside the room so you have to disturb others to have your early morning drink!

Had a lovely two night stay. Kaye and Steve are very friendly, chilled and accommodating. Home from home feel, the location to Durham centre is perfect and set in beautiful grounds with fab views. Very peaceful and quiet. Great exterior facilities and the communal kitchen/lounge facilities are akin to a self catered property! So useful especially if you’re staying a few nights. Everything was immaculately clean everywhere. Breakfast was a quality continental selection, with fresh eggs and a fab egg cooker to make boiled eggs just as you like them. And all essential fresh coffee and presses. Only downside we felt, was the constant early morning activity, bumping and creaking floorboards from the floor above. Great value for money. Look forward to staying again.

Lovely & quite place with amazing view of the Valley, the room were spotless and comfy bed, huge bathroom and it's pretty close to the restaurants and cathedral.We loved the kinda feel at home breakfast, mostly the welcoming management. Would definately come back.

Ok place. Breakfast poor, basically cereals and toast. Pastries on offer but stale. Room ok could have been better for the cost. Only saw owner very briefly once as we arrived and a 2 minute conversation this morning before we left. Fabulous views.

The room was spotless and nicely furnished with THE comfiest bed! The bathroom was large and there were copious fluffy white towels (but no bathrobes as described). The views were tremendous and it was really close to Durham. The lounge area was lovely and accessible all the time. But…the breakfast was self-service continental style and we (and the other couple staying) loaded and put on the dishwasher which we’ve never done in a B&B before! The bedroom is within a conservatory and it was sooo hot. On our final night we asked for a fan as we couldn’t get a breeze from the window as the conservatory door was closed at night. The fan made for a better night’s sleep and I would suggest that the rooms have one in there permanently. On the confirmation email it did say that guest rooms were not guaranteed noise free. Maybe a touch of an understatement! We could hear the man next door having a good old yawn and if we weren’t talking ourselves, we could hear their conversations. Eeeek. It was a lovely location but I did think it was expensive. We used our Christmas present BuyAGift ‘2 night luxury stay’ vouchers and as we stayed a 3rd night, we paid the difference which was £230! Ouch.

A wonderful experience. The property is lovely.
