Absolutely brilliant stay. Perfect size for our family of 4. Clean and comfortable with a thoughtful welcoming pack too. Really friendly hosts who left us to do our thing, but were on hand if needed. Thank you. ##### Kevin Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew 31 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Great apartment conveniently located for Durham This is a great apartment and we really enjoyed our stay. It is in a small village just a few miles from Durham - we drove into the city but also used the buses which run every 30 minutes from about 5 minutes walk away and take 11 minutes to reach the centre. The apartment was spotless and well presented and had everything we needed for a short break. The owners (who live next door) were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended and we plan to visit again if we want to stay around Durham. ##### Andrew Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gemma 7 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Home from home We had a lovely few days at Bancroft. The apartment is spotlessly clean, well designed and thought through, with a brilliant eye for detail, which made time away from home with 2 young children so much easier! We were given a warm welcome and made to feel completely at ease and relaxed. We will be booking again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bancroft to fellow families or even for a couples break away. ##### Gemma Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Annette 19 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place Lovely place to stay, thank you ##### Annette Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 23 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Spotlessly clean and well equipped.
