My husband and I stayed here for a wedding, the food was lovely, the rooms were very nice, and the staff extremely helpful. We had a small problem with a blocked shower but it was sorted within 10 minutes and an alternative room was also offered

The hotel is a little tricky to find - it's well signposted off the Durham/Sunderland dual carriageway, but thereafter it needs at least one more signpost when the road meets a cross road, and you need to...
