My husband, daughter and myself have eaten here before, so we decided to have a late lunch today, because of all our working commitments, it is great to be able to get together once a week and have somewhere decent still serving after 3pm on a Sunday. Most places have finished or give you stale, burnt offerings. Not here, we... More

I only stayed one night, but was made to feel extremely welcome and my room was both spotless, spacious and had lovely decor. The restaurant food was really good and all the staff were enthusiastic and nothing was too much trouble.Excellent value for money and I would highly recommend it.

We found the Garde n House Inn on the off chance - searching for somewhere to have Sunday lunch after an event in Newcastle. The menu was reasonably varied - 1 course £10, 2 courses £12.50. I chose the blade of beef - I have never tasted such gorgeous tender beef - and it was served with a massive Yorkshire... More

Our friends from Durham arranged a holiday for us in Durham to see the 2013 Ashes, we live in Portugal so flights were booked, hotels arranged supposedly. We were a group of eight and booked to stay at the Garden House Inn, I believe the establishment realised the Ashes were being held this week and more money could be made.... More

Great base for exploring the city with comfortable rooms, good food and real ales. Breakfasts are excellent served in the conservatory and soya and gluten free breads available as option. Hotel is located on the outskirts of the central area and an easy 10 min walk into the city and to the railway station

We decided to stay here as we liked the look of it on their website. Read reviews on here with an open mind given you can't please everyone. We were not disappointed. Staff on arrival were friendly and extremely attentive. Our family room (no.5) was clean, stylish and far too comfortable. I have to have a window open to sleep,... More
