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.

I see the review on the 15th April stayed on Nov.12.Would they have enjoyed it so much if they had been given someone else booking as has happened to us. As a group we had booked tickets for the ahes in Durham well in advance as we knew it would get busy,hence our friends went to the trouble to find... 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
