Clean The host was very friendly and let us 3 hours early on the appartement

The beds were not good The kitchen facilities were very minimal and the cooker did not work The apartment is a loft this makes the space for tall people very limited

Docker's Digs is like a home away from home, so comfortable and clean, very impressed indeed. It's close to many facilities and easy to travel to Newcastle should you wish to do so. My stay at Docker's Digs was for a girls' weekend and we will be back we enjoyed our stay so much. If you get the chance, book this as you won't be disappointed.

A house split into 2 apartments with shared front door, staircase up to the landing, both apartments have their own lockable entrance. It's in a quite location, taxi to and from Central Newcastle around £7. The bedroom are on different levels, the double is up another flight of stairs. Both beds very comfortable. Good WiFi connection. Cosy, tea, coffee and biscuits provided Early access was granted and the host contacted us to ensure everything was fine and if anything was needed just ask.

When the shower is switched on its is really noisy.
