The Old Rectory

Clean, comfortable, warm, good bathroom.

Quiet, clean. Close to Metro, bus station, fast food, stores, hospital. Coffee&tea in the room. Comfortable bed.

no info about tap water. Opening door is tricky little bit

Location was spot on for us, close to everything. Room was clean, tidy, ideal for us.

No toilet in the room, bathroom was across the hall and clean and tidy, but shared. When your up a few times in the night, not ideal.

Bad

Everything bed was rock hard the was a used rat trap and syringes in the chest draws

The location was perfect for visiting family and it was quiet.

The carpet could have done with being cleaned lots of stains. The TV was held together with sellotape. The curtain wasn't on the hooks properly. The website showed a beautiful garden and a dining room for breakfast. Where were they couldn't see any way of getting to these. Also, did not see a sole whilst we were there. The owner obviously entered our room at some point to replace the towels. The lights outside at the front and the back of the property are very bright and the curtains and blinds were very light so it was impossible to get the room dark for sleeping. It was very reasonably priced but I think you need to pay a bit more attention to improving cleanliness.

A historic building, close to the Metro and stores provided a pleasant stay.

Room clean although a bit worn around the edges

When booking thro not made clear that breakfast was excluded. Fortunately greasy spoon cafe and a Greg's nearby.

Clean, good location, free parking.

WIFI weak.

Location was good, room was a good size.

The property had a pervading odour of dog urine which was also noticable in my room. There was a chaise longue in my room propped up with books.

Really clean large rooms and bathroom. really easy check in and check out Really friendly staff couldn’t recommend more

No bin

History building repurposed to a high standard, decor, nice host

If I had to nit pick as everything very nice, the bath is lovely but the spa jets and light did not work on this occasion. I love a nice bath and spa, repairing this would benefit the bnb and guests in my opinion, but as a standard bath it is large and beautiful. That is my only criticism but state clearly did not take away from a very pleasant experience over all, thanks for having me S, will definitely come again!

1. No heating on a cold night, phoned the number provided with no response 2. No water in the shower, contacted the number provided but no reply. 3. Poor WiFi, the connection would break quite consistently 4. TV in the room would stuck on apps which would need internet 5. No garbage bin in the room 6. Poor customer services7. Dogs in the property although clearly mentioned pet free. 8. Getting in the property was a struggle unless another occupant came in to help.9. No one at the property and no instructions how to sign out despite tried to contact the number provided. Would contact the customer services for a full refund.

It was only for 1 night and I'm from jarrow so I was not expecting much . Sharing a bathroom with 4 rooms is so outdated these days , I only took this room for a half marathon run and then rest, up v early then left .never seen any staff. The furniture was propped up by books! The bed almost to flooring ( 10 inches off floor and clasping in one side . There was another room my son had and he says it was poorly cleaned ( toe nails on bedroom flooring)

Sharing bathroom, books for legs on furniture

The two positives I would mention is the location next to the metro station and the clean bathroom. There was also a kettle in the room.

The room we got that turned out to look completely different from the one shown in the photographs. We specifically booked it because it was pictured as having an additional sofa, it looked nice and cosy. Meanwhile, the room we were in, as opposed to the perfectly nice room with a sofa next door, was quite depressing, facing not a garden, but a bus stop, which was noisy. It also had drafty windows.

Brilliant location in the centre of town. Quite very clean and comfortable.

No cooked breakfast.

The hotel was fantastic. Great value, great location and just overall a delight. Super easy to get to with the Metro on its doorstep plus shops around the corner for anything you may have missed. I would definitely stay again. I was hoping to next year but it has been booked up already! That should show you how good it is.

This is a charming Victorian home, updated with modern amenities. The bed was very comfortable and the room had all the supplies needed. It's quiet in spite of being in a busy area. The staff and residents were friendly and helpful (thanks Gladys and Rebecca!). Although I didn't meet Stephen in person, it was easy to communicate with him via text and he was very helpful in extending my stay for another day.

I always enjoy my stay .Straigtforwrd, clean & quiet.

On my first night the downstairs tv was blaring till 01:30am.This has not been an issue before, didnt help with sleep despite earplugs.

The room and the shared bathroom was clean, comfortable and well appointed. Tea/coffee making was brilliant. Also it's a quiet location with unrestricted on-street free parking at the location. The metro station is just across the road, which is really handy for getting around.

Check-in was very chaotic. The PIN to enter the property was not supplied and it was not possible to contact the owner directly because his phone went directly to voice mail. Plus he did not return my call. Also, the room number was not supplied. Thankfully, residents in the property was extremely helpful in sorting out these issues. Without them, I think I may have been sleeping in my car! In future, can the owner check that he supplies the correct PIN to the property and to state the room number and the correct PIN of the room if required, please?

Excellent location. Beautiful period property. Everything you could need in room. Very clean. Owner was so helpful anything needed was done straight away. Would definitely stay again.
