"This is a mixed review. From the pictures given on expedia you are expecting a large hotel. It is not, it is a terraced house with multiple rooms in a run down area but having said that, the host was lovely, the property although needs work, is clean and tidy and very quiet. The bed was comfortable and the tea/coffee and biscuits were a very nice addition. It has a large smart TV which has a great reception. I was pleasantly surprised"

"I like the location of the property as it faces the ocean giving you a serene view of nature in its gentle activity. The property is also homely and comfortable. Staff was good and friendly. The only disturbance was the subtle infiltration of ciggarette smokes from the the outside when window was open. I wouldn't know if other rooms were affected but mine was and it wasn't cool."

"We returned here this year after enjoyjng our stay last year and we were again very happy. The staff friendliness, lovely very comfortable rooms and wonderful breakfast did not disappoint. Being able to have dinner in the restaurant is a definate plus with not having to go out after a long day driving. We would definitely recommend staying here."

Staff very friendly and professional. Room extremely clean , the bed seemed low but the room has everything you need . We didn't have evening meal but they looked delicious. Breakfast was cereal toast and jams, 2 bacon,2 sausage, 2 eggs, beans, grilled tomatoes and black pudding. Orange juice, tea and coffee. Fabulous. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly reccommended

this is a great option for a visit to Durham if you are prepared to stay outside of the city. Best value for money I have experienced in a long time . Breakfast fantastic something you would pay in excess of £12 in other accommodation Sonia and the rest of her staff are very welcoming . There is only one place I will be staying should I visit the area in the future

I visited Willance House with my partner a few years ago, and said we'd definitely go back if we needed to stay in the area again. As before, Colin and Sandra go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and that you have everything you need. They are a fountain of knowledge of the local area and it is such a special place to stay. There are lots of little touches that make this place stand out - for example fresh milk for your room every day, little books to read by the window seat, a...
