Highly Recommend (and I'm Fussy!)

Wow, this place is just lovely! All the previous 5 star reviews say it all really. Every little tough has been considered, from the extensive coffee/tea area to the homemade cake in the bedroom on arrival. Beautiful room, every single little thing has been considered for your needs for a very special stay. Gorgeous breakfast, so much choice. Such friendly hosts and an amazing place, we stayed in Bedroom 3, was perfect, had a lovely patio garden, bathroom spotless, very rare you find somewhere that actually surpasses your expectations, especially with a B&B. This is just a different league. First time away without the children in 10 years, had a wedding further away and chose here as a stop off back up the road. To be honest, I was a little apprehensive on how this place would fare (and missed our kids massively), but we would highly recommend staying here. We arrived tired after a long journey but after 1 night, we arrived as strangers and felt we left as friends. Thank you for making our stay so special. xx

Fabulous

We recently stayed with Gary and Helen on the suggestion of friends. It was simply a marvellous bed and breakfast. We were welcomed and shown around and had a wonderful stay. The breakfast was great and having the coffee bar and fresh baking daily was a bonus. 

Excellent B&B

Recently stayed at the Millstone House B&B for the third time, the B&B is located with views of open countryside in a lovely quiet location with first class accommodation. The owners Gary and Helen ensure that your stay is perfect in every way and I am looking forward to the next time I stay. 10 out of 10.

Being there was a holiday in itself

The rooms are very spacious and attractive. The French windows lead onto a well furnished private terrace. Breakfast is excellent and beautifully served. Much emphasis is placed on personal service from the owners.

Second wonderful visit

This is the second visit to Millstone House and once again it was a lovely break. The accommodation is first class and Gary and Helen are wonderful hosts, where nothing is too much trouble and Helen's homemade cake in an afternoon is a real treat. It is a wonderful location to visit the area or just sit and relax.

We are already looking forward to our next visit.

An absolutely wonderful 5* experience

Beautiful accommodation in a stunning location, calm and peaceful but not too far from interesting places to visit and lovely walks. The house has been so cleverly designed and thought through to provide exceptional comfort and quality. Breakfast was superb, the bedroom beautifully appointed, the mattress blissfully comfortable. The real gems were Gary and Helen. Such lovely warm, welcoming hosts. We have travelled extensively (and expensively) but the Millstone House experience stands out in so many ways. 

We will definitely return. We just didn't want to leave.

Best B&B Ever!

This is definitely 5 star accommodation, better than many a hotel of similar ilk. Millstone is superb in every aspect from the owners Gary and Helen who cannot do enough for their guests to the quality of the rooms and lovely breakfasts. The whol place is wonderfully thought out with lots of extra touches and makes for an excellent base to stay in County Durham. The area has much to offer being close to Raby Castle, Bishop Auckland and Barnard Castle. Whether its walking or visiting attractions all are there.

Just as good as before

Sometimes, when you go back to a place where you have previously stayed, it doesn't seem to quite measure up to your first visit. This is definitely not the case with Millstone House B&B! Our second visit was for three nights in Aug 19 and it was as immaculate as when we were there the last time. Gary and Helen are welcoming and friendly hosts who provide top quality accommodation and excellent breakfasts. Everything we said in the review after our first visit still stands. We strongly recommend this B&B and look forward to staying again in the future.

The perfect antidote to 'normal' life

The most amazing place. Gary and Helen make this stay incredible, they have thought of everything. You feel that this is not only a business to them but somehting they are both passionate about and have gone above and beyond to create a small but amazing 3 room B&B and with no kids under 16, it certainly is an adult escape. Very peaceful with beautiful surroundings, just back from the main road of a lovely little village. All rooms have patio doors out to a paved area... just the sound of chickens, sheep, and cattel --- the perfect antidote to 'normal' life. 

We will certainly be back for more spoiling!

Highly Recommended

From the moment we arrived we were greeted like VIP's. I travel a great deal with work and stay in numerous hotels and B&B's and I must say this is the best I have experienced. Gary and Helen are so attentive and they have thought of everything, from soft robes to the provision of Alexa. Both quinquagenarian and my octagenarian Mum would like to thank Gary and Helen for making our stay so relaxing and enjoyable.
