Magdalene house was an absolutely beautiful accommodation to stay in. It is cosy and only a 5 minute walk into the very centre of Durham, yet is in a lovely, quiet neighbourhood. There is free parking outside the house and nearby too,. Absolutely perfect and I cant wait to stay again!

I had a fantastic experience with Murphy Stays. The accommodation was spotless, fully furnished, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay, including internet, TV, tea, coffee, and bedding. The house was always warm, making it a cozy place to live. For those coming to work from another country, Murphy Stays is a game-changer. It eliminates the hassle of setting up accounts for utilities, as everything is included and ready to go. Our landlord, Declan, truly goes above and beyond, regularly checking in to ensure we have everything we need. Fresh bedding is provided monthly, which is a great touch. The apartments are perfect for both short-term and long-term stays as they are fully turnkey, with all bills included. I highly recommend Murphy Stays for anyone looking for a hassle-free rental experience. Thank you, Declan, for making my stay so enjoyable!

We have rented 3 houses from Declan for work for 6 months. The houses are cosy, clean and perfect for a homely feel! As a host he is very attentive, always asking if we need anything and checking in. We have requested a few things to make the house right for us and he has been extremely accommodating. All in all 10/10 would highly recommend!
