The host was very nice and helpful . We had a bit of trouble with the heating . Only on for certain hours and it was a very cold time of the year The double bed was awful and needs replacing . 2 single mattresses on a base too big for the room . The oven didn’t work but the hob did. . It would be lovely if these problems were sorted . ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/777D4010471ACFBBE656D67B1C81F1524A9526521672581748363.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Patrick Stayed 14 nights in Dec 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Louise 2 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication It was a great wee apartment to stay for a couple of days.

It is a ground floor apartment but if you have any walking issues,my husband uses a walking stick ,there are 8 steps down to the apartment which we didn't no ,but it wouldn't stop us returning .Andy the host was excellent and also a very kind neighbour above us .Would recommend to friends thank you . ##### Marion Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gareth 26 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Quiet and lovely Lovely apartment that was clean and well equipped. Convenient for our needs and host was very communicative. Had a lovely couple of nights. The double bed is huge but it is tight to pass the foot of the bed as it is so close to the wall ( a bit nit-picking but with a bad hip I mention it in case someone has mobility issues). Also take note that the apartment is accessed via steps on the outside. Overall a fantastic unit and would definitely recommend it and plan to stay again. ##### Gareth Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Luke 11 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication Really great location and brilliant communication from the host. Stayed here because I was doing the great north run. Very clean and tidy. ##### Luke Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stef 23 Oct 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Lovely place This place looks much nicer and bigger than in the photos, it was really nice. The outdoor space is great too. I did have some issues with getting the heating to work which was a downside, as only had one heater to keep us warm there as a replacement to the heating not being on, but the stay itself was lovely. I had accidentally left a bag of stuff there after our stay, which I didn't realise until hours after checking out. The owner was easy to reach and kindly assisted me with sorting to get it back. Great information and communication from the owner. The location is good, it's in a quiet residential area but the Beamish Museum is literally a few minutes up the road and shops are nearby too. ##### Stef Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 10 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great place 🙂.

Definitely recommended. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Annette 14 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great apartment Andy was very helpful.

Thanks for a good visit ##### Annette Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 7 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The apartment is in a fantastic spot for visiting the beamish museum which is what we were there for and being not a lot more than 2 night at a premier inn for the whole weekend but having the benefit of a full apartment rather than a couple of rooms or trying to work a single family room this was fantastic! Our bed wasn’t as comfy as we’d like but we have literally just bought a new mattress at home so that can be forgiven! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 25 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Exactly as described, well thought out, excellent condition and very clean.

There was everything you needed to make your stay as comfortable as possible, including the big fluffy towels and as I was able to bring my own supplies I didn't overeat at an expensive restaurant chain either. I would definitely stay again. ##### Sonia Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 29 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Beautifully decorated apartment with everything we neede for a two night stay, even tea/coffee and fresh milk on arrival which was a nice touch.

We did not get suitable accommodation at Durham, and our booking site showed us this option. #7, at The Fairways is a hidden gem. It’s a very well appointed, aesthetic apartment. The drawing room has stunning views of the hills, forest and a golf course. The bathroom and the kitchen are very well equipped, a complete delight for people who prefer self-catering. The Wifi blazes and we had satellite television too. The owner of the property, Andrew is extremely helpful and responsive. Would love to go back. Thanks Andrew, for a wonderful experience ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jayne, Featherstone 5 Jun 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Little gem 3 nights away with kids, great Base for Cumbria, Newcastle, coastal areas, Northumberland ##### Jayne ### 10/10 Excellent #### John, portsmouth 7 Mar 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### nice apartment a nice apartment in a quoit location ##### John ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 15 Feb 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic apartment. Stayed here for 2 nights with our 15 month old. The apartment was very clean, tidy and tastefully decorated throughout. It is ideal for families with small children as there are no hazards such as stairs/open fires etc. The owners were very obliging with tea/coffee and fresh milk provided. They also provided very good communications prior to our arrival and advised us on activities to do within the local area. There is a lovely outdoor seating area which would be great in the Summer months. I would highly recommend this property. ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Coppid Beech Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bracknell-Hotels-The-Coppid-Beech-Hotel.h3809.Hotel-Information) > > [Carden Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Carden-Park.h190780.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stansted-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Stansted-Airport.h18464320.Hotel-Information) > > [Stratford Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Stratford-Manor.h27936.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashford International Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Ashford-International-Hotel.h527123.Hotel-Information) > > [Retallack Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Columb-Major-Hotels-Retallack-Resort.h4537229.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Sand Bay Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weston-Super-Mare-Hotels-Sand-Bay-Holiday-Village.h11443695.Hotel-Information) > > [St Michael's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falmouth-Hotels-St-Michaels-Resort.h2951426.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Stratford Upon Avon by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Stratford-Upon-Avon.h11307.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Norbreck Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Norbreck-Castle-Hotel.h6377.Hotel-Information) > > [Eastwell Manor, Champneys Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Eastwell-Manor.h905662.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollins Hall Hotel, Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shipley-Hotels-Hollins-Hall-Hotel.h63744.Hotel-Information) > > [Chesford Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenilworth-Hotels-Chesford-Grange.h920291.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Folkestone-Hotels-Grand-Burstin-Hotel-Folkestone.h1201483.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mill Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-The-Mill-Hotel-Spa.h1695656.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Manchester Ashton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashton-Under-Lyne-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Manchester-Ashton.h1848975.Hotel-Information) > > [The Winchester Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-The-Winchester-Hotel-Spa.h26080.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton at St George's Park, Burton Upon Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Hilton-At-St-Georges-Park.h5094740.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Manchester, Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Manchester.h120016.Hotel-Information) > > [The Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Tunbridge-Wells-Hotels-The-Spa-Hotel.h8849.Hotel-Information) > > [Hythe Imperial Hotel Spa & Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Hythe-Imperial-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h9108.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rutland Arms Hotel, Bakewell, Derbyshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bakewell-Hotels-The-Rutland-Arms-Hotel.h792056.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Beach Club & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Harbour-Beach-Club-Hotel-Spa.h2261933.Hotel-Information) > > [Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newquay-Hotels-Fistral-Beach-Hotel-And-Spa-Adults-Only.h1895493.Hotel-Information) > > [Worcester Whitehouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worcester-Hotels-Worcester-Whitehouse.h18498.Hotel-Information) > > [Cotswolds Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-Cotswolds-Hotel-Spa.h13106835.Hotel-Information)
