We stayed here for 3 nightson a self-catering basis and it was perfect.Lovely well-equipped rooms and kitchen, and it was a bonus to be able to use the hot tub surrounded by beautiful countryside! Also easy to get in to Durham by bus as we didn't have cars. Would definitely recommend.

This was the perfect location for a group of ladies visiting Durham for the weekend.The bedroom set-up was just right and having full use and privacy of the kitchen/lounge area worked well.The hot tub was a nice treat and we appreciated having a robe and towels in each bedroom (the towels were the fluffiest ever).All very clean and welcoming.Walk into Durham is all on pavement - but narrow pavement at times and a busy road - takes approx 50 mins.

My Way was a great find: my room (Bede) was very cosy, beautifully appointed-a double room with TV and a lovely, large and very well stocked en suite. Each room has their own tea/coffee facilities but not the usual ‘hotel pack’, much more homely than that. There’s a guests’ lounge with TV, sofas and a self-service kitchen/breakfast area with everything I needed (including fresh milk - thank you!!). Informal, but very well catered. Just what I needed.Host Kay is there on hand without being intrusive - lovely to chat to over a breakfast cuppa.I’ve got to say - beautiful location, just 10 mins drive from Durham.I’ve bookmarked My Way for future reference!

The room was spacious enough for 2 with the double bed provided .There was an extra bed and a foldaway in addition. An assortment of coffees , teasand biscuits + kettle was provided in the room. The bedroom and en-suite bathroom were clean , modern and nicely presented. There was a kitchen/dining /lounge area accessed via the patio with Fresh fruit and breakfast included in the price. Beautiful views from the bedroom ,patio and lounge of the countryside . The bedroom was quite cold. Other than this, no complaints. The area was quiet and the hostess v nice and easily accessible.A 10-15 min drive away from Durham Univ. Colleges and the city centre. The pub at the mini roundabout a few mins. drive from the guest house has v tasty meat pies and a great glass of Chardonnay (if not driving)! We enjoyed our visit. Thank you Kay.

Stayed here for one night with husband and daughter in 2 rooms. The owner Kay met us on arrival and showed us to our lovely rooms. The whole place was spotless and the views are fantastic. The breakfast was all laid out in the morning for us to help ourselves, plenty of choice. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Thanks to Kay for a great stay. Durham itself is also a fabulous City.

Just come back, had a lovely time, room very clean and bathroom nice and clean too. Breakfast had a good variety, cereals, boiled eggs, toast, fruit and croissants.Gorgeous view and loved the horses too. Would definitely go back again. Host was attentive and checking that we had everything.

Stopped 2 nights in a lovely family room with gorgeous views across country and large garden with with seating and recliners.The owners were very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble.Lovely breakfast included also. Would recommend and will be back. Regards, Simon.

Just out side of Durham this great guest house is wonderfully situated to Durham town and top of Yorkshire dales . Used center of town carpark only £3 to visit cathedral along the river and walk down through the pretty streets.Room had wonderful bathroom and it was worth getting up for a good breakfast .run by a friendly couple --John

At the end of a very hot day at the cricket in Chester-le-Street, we greatly appreciated the facilities of My Way and its tranquil setting. Our bedrooms were excellent; we enjoyed sitting in the garden for a late night drink; and the self-service buffet breakfast suited our needs very well. We hope to return.

Only stayed there one night, the owners made us welcome and we enjoyed the surroundings. A convenient place to stay if you want to visit Durham as it is on a bus route. Would stay there again if in the area, and would have no hesitation in recommending it.

Although we had some difficulty finding this place it was worth it as wefound it veryquiet and relaxing. Would stay there again if I needed to.

Throughly enjoyed our stay , very friendly people who made you feel welcome,dog friendly, very nice room looking out to a very big garden where you can let your dog have a run around .views over looking the country side , not to far away to get something to eat . Would recommend it

We loved the relaxed atmosphere and the outdoor spaces. Being of a certain age the bus into Durham was great. The pub down the road served great portions and was great value

A lovely little guest house, spectacular views, great rooms and warm welcome. Highly recommend it.

A little way out of the city. Great view and a lovely garden. Well equipped kitchen for guests. Fantastic value as the hotels near the centre are not cheap.

A great B&B. A lovely location (5 minutes drive to Durham) beautiful views, very welcoming hosts and great choice of continental breakfast. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to try the hot tub and sauna but if we are up near Durham again we would definitely stay again.

Loved our stay at My Way, great if you have dogs and like walking. The rooms are nice (although the wall's are a bit thin) and the breakfast selection has enough for everyone. Lovely large enclosed rear garden, with plenty of seating. We'll definitely be staying again.

Very nice garden setting with a range of garden furniture to relax on. Convenient to the sights of Durham and the countryside. Like the format of the help yourself breakfast in the conservatory and its availability for eating other meals.

I had a very comfortable single night stay. My room was perfectly clean and beautifully set out. Had free access to a large and very nice conservatory area which has everything I needed - tea, fresh coffee and in the morning - breakfast (pastries, toast, eggs etc).Would stay again.Thanks very much

I’ve been to many B&Bs around the world and Kaye’s Myway Guest House is one of the best. Great service, excellent clean rooms, friendly proprietor andeven the breakfast is delicious. I’d recommend her place to any of my friends any day.

Lovely accommodation 10 minutes drive from Durham. Stayed here as an alternative to very high hotel prices in central Durham. Did not disappoint. Lovely views over the Durham country side. Super clean and comfortable accommodation. Nice bathroom with roomy shower. Lovely arrangement of conservatory and breakfast area with food available any time.

We stayed in a nice and clean room, with a lovely countryside view. At night you could hear the guests walking in the room upstairs, but that was not a big deal. Breakfast was excellent - they also provided vegan options.

No complaints at all. Nice room to stay in, large garden and deck area, beautiful views over County Durham, breakfast-making facilities, close to the city. Great!

Very happy with our choice, the room was functional, clean and tidy with a fantastic view in the garden and nearby rolling fields.Spacious bathroom with all amenities.First class accomodation for the price, beats any hotel.

Lovely,friend and very welcoming and will definitely stay again.

It was a pleasure to stay there.Room was left open so it was cool when I arrived.Enjoyed being able to heat up a meal in the evening and being able to eat it in the lounge kitchen

Lovely location. Great views at the property. The rooms were super clean & comfortable & there was a dining kitchen where you could help yourself to tea & coffee etc. Lots of choice for a continental type breakfast too.

Lovely clean and comfortable B and B with an idyllic view over the owners garden to the countryside beyond.It was great being able to use the kitchen/lounge diner, which made it a semi self catering option.Ideal place to stay for visiting Durham ( bus at the bottom of owner's drive). Also a good place to stay to break the journey to Northumberland or Scotland.

Kaye and Steve provided lovely accommodation with great facilities. Also great location for local amenities and walks/cycling as near to Durham.

This is the second time we have stayed at My Way Guest House and, again, we couldn't fault anything.Kaye was so welcoming and the breakfasts were extremely good.We will certainly be back again.Edna and John

Wonderful quiet village. The owners were fantastic, nothing was a problem.Beds are so comfy and soft, lounge area is comfortable and kitchen is well equipped.We didn’t use the sauna but the hot tub was a added bonus for a hour relaxing.I have already recommended this place to family.

We normally stay in central Durham, but due to lack of availability stayed at My Way. There was a bus stop nearby , only took 10 minutes to get into city centre, so was not too much of an inconvenience being out of town. Accommodation was a high standard, clean & cosy. Lovely views, would be nice in the summer.

We were in Durham for our daughters graduation and discovered this lovelylittle Gem. Our room wasspotlessly clean, beautifully decorated with the most comfortable bed ever. Lovely views and very peaceful ambience all contributed to a wonderful stay in Durham. We will very much look forward to our next visit !!

Amazing place, we absolutely loved it. The views, hot tub and sauna were incredible. Beds extremely comfortable and Kaye was very responsive. Would not hesitate to recommend and we would definitely stay again.

Beautiful location, with stunning views over the surrounding countryside. Excellent facilities and great breakfast selection. Warm friendly welcome and I would highly recommend to anyone, will be visiting again soon.

Room clean, beds comfortable, fabulous bathroom.Kaye was helpful and welcoming.It was easy for the dogs.A footpath running alongside the property down to a walk/cycle path was a v pleasant walk for dogs.Breakfast good but coffee was excellent.Only niggle - lights left on outside which shone into bedroom.

Great views.Close to Durham.Would stay again and recommend.

It was great to stay here - in winter. Would be absolutely fabulous in summer. Beds are lovely and comfortable, breakfast is sumptuous and the views are fantastic.

We needed somewhere close to our son and his partner on the arrival of their twins. My Way was perfect, only a few hundred yards away. Cuthbert room was light and airy with plenty of space, the buffet breakfast was plentiful & varied with fabulous views! Our hosts were friendly and helpful and we hope to visit many more times as we watch out granddaughters grow. Looking forward to visiting in the better weather to enjoy the garden. Many thanks.

This is the second time we have stayed at My Way Guest House. We love the pet friendly relaxed atmosphere and the warm welcome. The location is great for visiting Durham and surrounding areas.

lovely roomwith a large bath and powerful shower. Beds very comfortable very clean through out. Nice view of the large gardenThere was a lounge for breakfast which was very roomy.

Comfortable, clean, with a nice homely cottage feel and nice locale.

Travelled from Lincolnshire to Durhamfor a belated Xmas visit to our daughter and son in law. My daughter chose 'My Way' as it is a 10 minute walk to their house. Greeted by the owner and shown to our room for our 2 night stay, (the Cuthbert room) we were very impressed with the quality of items in the room. It was spotlessly clean, the bed was extremely comfy. The bathroom was wonderful, with a choice of taking a bath or having a very powerful shower. The breakfast room was very well equipped, with an amazing choice of breakfast food. The view from our bedroom window was stunning. We cannot fault our stay at all. We had a fabulous weekend and were made very welcome. We would stay here again and highly recommend 'My Way' to every person we know.

Our second visit to my way guest house did not fail to impress my family love the place hoped to visit again soon thank you for making our stay comfortable from the Rydzynski’s

Absolutely fantastic, so warm, clean, and a very welcome establishment. Thank you.

We rang Kayeto find out if we could arrive early as weather was not particularly kind. No problems she said we could make ourselves a drink in the dining area and our room was ready soon afterwards. Everything clean and tidy plenty of towels very thick too. Breakfast was help yourself and was plentiful in a nice relaxing environment. Son at Uni will look to stay again and hopefully weather kinder .

lovely stay room spacious warm and comfy stunning view from bedroom and communal room owner popped in at breakfast to say hello breakfast was plentyful continental

Kaye gave us an extremely warm welcome at My Way - lovely set up plenty of space to relax in living area, comfortable beds, even though the weather was wet & cold the views out of living space fantastic/relaxing. Very filling continental breakfast. We will return again of that I’m sure x

Very clean, great views and a few mins from Durham city centre. Hosts were very welcoming and had room ready in great time. Awesome selection of breakfast items including fresh fruit and juice (never fromconcentrate :))

An excellent place to stay. Clean, warm and friendly. Beautiful views and surrounding areas. Close to Durham x

We had a lovely second stay at My Way Guest House. This time we stayed in Cuthberts with our teenage daughter as we visited our older daughter at the university - the guest house is an easy 5 minute ish drive to the Hill Colleges.Really recommend.Lovely soft beds, lots of bedding, towels and dressing gowns. Very nice private bathroom, our daughter enjoyed a shower and a very luxurious bath on our second night!The views from the dining area and garden are incredible and we love the relaxed self service breakfast.Very friendly welcome from Kaye, we will definitely be back again.

Very nice and quiet place to stay, comfortable bed in the Oswald room for my 2 night stay, and nice to have an en-suite bathroom too. The view from the conservatory while having breakfast was pleasant. Also grateful of Kaye for letting me say hello to her 2 lovely dogs before departing. Would definitely recommend, and would look here first for any future trips to Durham

First time visit to Durham with our daughter to view the universityMy Way House was very comfortable and clean WithLovely views from our room across beautiful countrysideThe host was very helpfulIf this is the university of choice we will be definitely be visiting again

Had a lovely 2 night stay here. The Bede room was clean and cosy, with desk and area to hang up clothes, bathrobes also provided (we didn't use). The bathroom much bigger than expected with towels/toiletries supplied. Breakfast was very relaxed "pick your own" with a lovely view out, was also nice that it's only a short walk from each room (a bungalow setting).We got to meet the horses and dogs that live on-site, all very welcoming as were the owners. Location is lovely and peaceful as away from the road, and nice pathways nearby if you want a nice walk.Our room did get a little bit warm after we'd used the bathroom, but nothing that opening the window/door didn't sort out. The room's window does face out onto the hallway so other guests can walk by but wasn't a problem for us as all friendly.Would definitely recommend My Way Guest House to others and use ourselves again when visiting Durham.Helpful info for future visitors, look out for the brown road sign which is right opposite the driveway in. Plenty of room to park.If, like us, you plan to eat out in Durham be sure to book a taxi a good time in advance. Its only a 10 drive away and didn't cost us more than £8 each way.

Had a one night stay at My Way Guest House, hosts always friendly. Room clean and comfortable.Thank you again.

We arrived after a long journey to be greated by the lovely owner and her two dogs.We were taken to our room and as we turned the corner we were greetedby a breathtaking view.Our room was clean and comfortable with a lovely bathroom. There was tea coffee etc and fresh milk available.Breakfast was very good, good choice of breads, toast, pastries, cereals, yoghurt and eggs.The hosts were welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly we would 100% stay again and recommend the guest house to friends.

We enjoyed our stay - especially the views and the superb breakfast.

Good location for where we needed to bae. Clean and comfortable. Suited our needs. Thankyou

Kaye and Steve couldn’t have been better hosts. The accommodation incorporated a guest sitting area in addition to their lovely garden. It felt like we were their friends staying for the weekend! Crazy dogs for ours to play with. Comfortable room, good water pressure, hot water, fluffy white towels - lovely.

We had a lovely family break here. We booked the whole place for us,our children and their grandparents. It was perfect for al age groups. Nice and peaceful location with stunning views over the fields and surprising close to multiple tourist attractions. The horses at the bottom of the garden were an added bonus, the kids loved going to see them. The owners were lovely and very welcoming. Would definitely recommend.

We had a super six days at the Guest House.The rooms were very comfortable and the view from the Cuthbert bedroom was fantastic.Breakfast was very good and plentiful.We will certainly book to come again in the not too distant future.

Lovely comfortable clean modern light and airy place to stay in beautiful surroundings. Family run lovely people it’s a great place to have as a base for a few days exploring this part of the country . Lovely breakfast very generous with quality produce . We’ve stayed before and will stay again . Very enjoyable stay for us ????????

We enjoyed our stay at my. Way guest house. The bed room was lovely & clean withlovely views from the window. Lovely big lawn with garden furniture to use and comfy area with tv & sofas & the breakfast was fresh and good variety every day. Would recommend plus ideal for family’s to meet up with with 4 rooms.

The house was a bit difficult to find as was tucked down a driveway but the views out of the back were glorious of the countryside. The room overlooked the garden and the bed was very comfortable with an excellent shower in the en-suite. Enjoyed my stay here and would happily come back.

The owners were warm and friendly and made us very welcome. It was great to have access to the garden via french windows from the guest lounge/conservatory. There are some lovely walks which can be accessed directly from the property and it is a really peaceful location. Bedrooms were clean and comfortable and as a group it was great that we each had en-suite bathrooms. I had a lovely week catching up with my sisters after having to cancel many other plans due to Covid and the weather was perfect. Would definitely stay here again

Great location just out of Durham. Semi rural with beautiful views across a valley. Very well appointed with luxurious claw foot bath.Plenty of spacious parking. A warm welcome from the owners. Highly recommended.

Warm welcome and great views from the verandah was a lovely start to a three day business trip. Very quiet location but easy to access the city.Very comfortable guest lounge and kitchen - home from home, great for single travellers or groups of friends.Clear Covid-19 procedures in place to ensure a safe stay.Would thoroughly recommend My Way Guest House and would be my first choice when returning to Durham.Thank you

Comfortable accommodationWelcoming hosts

Stayed at My Way Guest House while moving our son to Durham University. The owners were very helpful and we felt very safe in these covid times. Rooms were nice in decor and very clean. The breakfast room and seating area looked out onto beautiful hills a short distance from Durham. Would not hesitate to stay again when visiting Durham. Thank you for looking after us so well.

A clean, bright, comfortable room. Good bathroom with bath and powerful shower, and fabulous towels! Shame there was lack of storage for clothes, a chest of drawers would have been useful. The lounge/dining area was warm and cosy, comfy furniture, lovely views over the countryside. Breakfast was self service and continental but amazing choice.

A lovely place to stay the views were excellent a very nice room a lovely relaxing place to stay highly recommended definitely will be booking again when up in Durham

First visit here and not disappointed. The room was lovely, spotlessly clean and lovely with everything you need. Location peaceful and close to Durham City and perfect. Dogs welcome so huge positive. Breakfast good variety and great coffee.

Lovely B&B Kaye was extremely helpful regards booking. The rooms are beautiful and immaculately clean. The bed was the most comfortable I have ever been in whilst staying in hotels or B&b,s. Lots to do in local area including visiting coast forest walks the the close proximity to Durham which is a lovely place. Would highly recommend and definitely stay again if visiting area.

Relaxed clean and comfortable stay. Host very accomodating and pleasant. Nothing was too much trouble for Kay. Lovely views. Very handy for park and ride into Durham. Would definately stay again.

Our stay here was beautiful, the view outside of our room was amazing. The rooms were very clean and tidy, the owners were very welcoming on arrival and throughout. Just on the edge of Durham city centre so was a short trip without the noise of the nightlife when I’m the room at night.Couldn’t of asked for anything more.

My way is definitely the way forward for B and B in a lovely location.Beautiful roomsvery well thought out and spacious.Great place for friends and family to meet up.I spent two lovely days here with my sister and we will definitely return again in the future.Great find for us ????????Julie and Marie

A nice guest house on the edge of Durham with a beautiful view

Hello,myself and my partner stayed at your guest house 11th to 13th of October 2019.It was a beautiful place,very pleansent and imformative for place's to visit and how to get there.Beautiful and clean.Views where amazing. Friendly owners plus Harry there ????. Would definitely stay there again. Breakfast was really nice and you where welcome to use the grounds. We asually stay in hotels but thought we'd try something different.We were both amazed at how welcoming and helpful the people were plus amazing views of the country side.We come from a built up area so it was so relaxing. Thank you so much for your making our weekend extra special.????

V clean and lovely decor. Good bathroom and comfy bed. Tasty breakfast with lots of choice in a v pleasant setting, with a lovely countryside view.

Enjoyable stay in very pleasant surroundings with accommodation beingmodern and functional.

The guest house with 4 bed rooms fit 7 of us comfortably. There is a private car park that make it safe and convincing. The deco is really stylish and the view from the living and dinning room is simply breathtaking. The guest house is well keep and sparkling clean. This guest house is highly recommended.

We were a family group - adults + children and we needed all 4 rooms at My Way for 3 nights.Kaye, the owner could not have been more helpful. Everything was done to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. The breakfasts were superb - a great variety waiting for us in the large communal conservatory which overlooked a large garden and the hills beyond.It was, for us, Just Perfect.

Stayed just one night for the Durham Miners gala, lovely, peaceful place. Only a 10 minute bus ride from Durham centre, 2 miles away. Friendly, accomodating owners. Highly recommended!

Really clean and peaceful place. Host was very welcoming and accommodating. Highly recommend staying here. Very close to Durham city centre.

Thankyou for the lovely stay at your Guest House, we found it lovely and clean, comfortable beds, friendly hosts and a lovely breakfast. As we had trouble finding it from the street maybe a good idea to put a notice at the beginning of the public footpath. :)

The owners at Way Guest House were very helpful, the room was clesn and contained everything i needed. Breakfast was very good. Great value for money, i would definitely stay there again

I would thoroughly recommend this amazing guest house which is situated in the country side not far from the heart of Durham City. The room was sparkling clean and very comfortable with a decked patio overlooking the garden and stable which could be used for enjoying the evening sun. Definitely a place to return to when visiting this area.

Thanks! We are pleased you enjoyed your stay.

Stopping of at My Way Guest house was perfect for us coming from Somerset, visiting Durham on the way to Belford Northumberland .Welcoming ,helpful, relaxing would stay again if the occasion arose .

Excellent accomoddation.Thoughtfull furnished and very clean.Felt very welcome .Continental breakfast ,plenty full and great choices. Due ,to no clear signpost on the road ,I had trouble finding the place .

WE enjoyed out stay at Mt Way Guest House. The room & bed was very comfortable and despite the temperamental hot water machine, the breakfast was very good. We were well looked after and the views from the breakfast room were wonderful.Good to have the tea, coffee, hot chocolate & shortbreads just outside the room. The bathroom could do with a hook to hamg clothes on, otherwise everything is there that is needed.

We absolutely loved this place. The rooms are decorated beautifully with good facilities and our hosts were very friendly. The stunning views of the hillside and fields from our bedroom was a particular highlight, and the same views could be enjoyed from the breakfast room. We had use of the terrace and large back garden, plus our little boy made friends with the little dog. No cooked breakfast but the range of cereal, fruit, pancakes, muffins, etc. easily met our needs. Will visit again.

Great location with beautiful views, Kaye was a wonderful host full of good information on getting around and leaving the car behind, we used the local bus into town.Good breakfast to set you up for the day would definitely stay here again if back in Durham,

We had a great stay at the beautiful location. Very lovely room with a great view, stylish interior and nice touches. Good location just outside the city of Durham! Would definitely recommend staying here and come back anytime.

Thanks Nina!Hope you had a safe journey home.Great Stay

Immaculately clean, Kaye was very welcoming, excellent help yourself breakfast, would definitely stay again.

We had a one night stay here whilst visiting our son and daughter at university. it's just a couple of miles out of Durham so really handy. The bedroom and bathroom were very well equipped and spotlessly clean. The bed was extremely comfortable and we had a great nights sleep. I contacted Kaye to ask if she would be able to provide a gluten free breakfast and she was happy to oblige. I would recommend a stay here and would love to come again

We had a great stay at Kaye's bed and breakfast. The room had everything we needed and was spotlessly clean. Kaye and Steve were very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. The self service breakfast looking over fields at the back of their house was a relaxing way to start the day.

Kaye’s accommodation is first class. Very spacious modern & clean. Lots of lovely touches & an lovely choice for breakfast. The location is excellent being only a few minutes from the centre of Durham & good value for money. Would highly recommend.

Kaye was a brilliant host and nothing was too much trouble. The room was nice and clean with lovely surrounding views. Breakfast was a nice touch. Would highly recommend.

We stayed at My Way Guest House for 1 night and it was fantastic. The rooms are so nice and the communal area is lovely, the decor is so modern. Huge room and en suite situated in the perfect place for us. Kaye was a fab host and went out of her way to ensure we had a good stay. Would definitely return if we are ever in the area again!

Beautiful house on a lovely farm plot. Beautiful sitting area and very clean, private rooms. Lovely and kind host. Very understanding. X
