We take our son,daughter in law and two grandchildren there quite often. There is always a varied menu and specials on. The conservatory is very good when you have got children with you, as they can play safely outside on the grassed area.

Called here for a meal on a Saturday evening. Managed to get a seat in the conservatory overlooking the garden. Good choice of food on the menu and specials board. Food and service are really good, my only gripe is that the burgers are served on wooden blocks which is something I'm not a big fan of. Sunday lunches here... More

Staff are excellent, a special mention to Nicky on the front desk and Ross in the restaurant who made our stay special. For the price you can't go wrong and central... More

Breakfast is really good and served by a very pleasant and friendly... More

My wife & I stayed for one night at Bowburn Hall whilst visiting Durham. The staff were welcoming and very helpful. Our room, a standard double, although small was beautifully furnished & decorated, & also very comfortable. On the down side the en-suite bathoom had an extractor fan but better ventilation is needed to avoid the mould & standing water... More
