Absolutely outstanding guest house - I was really impressed from the moment I arrived. The room was enormous and very comfortable, with everything I needed. It was the perfect temperature and almost unnervingly quiet and peaceful. The bed was very comfortable and everything was spotless. Breakfast was great, and the owners were very accommodating.

Nice property. Clean and very close to all things in central Durham. Plenty of good places to eat nearby. Breakfast was good, but fairly basic.

Brilliant location

The best location to visit the city - 5 minutes walk. The room was very good and the breakfast excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We travelled by train. We went by bus to Beamish using the local bus app. Crook Hall gardens, the Cathedral and the castle all worth visiting and in easg walking distance. We plan to visit again.

Warm, inviting & friendly Guest House.

Once I found the hotel all was good. The postcode took me straight to it, but it's difficult to see it as it's high up to your left side on a one way street. Parking is available opposite the hotel but the road is quite narrow & the cars are parked at around 37 degrees outside a few working men's clubs. The Hotel will provide a token for parking, but after checking I used my disability card which meant I was parked for free the few days we stayed. The rooms are bright & fresh, the beds are comfortable & clean as the room & hotel is. Breakfast was served at the time we asked & was just right to start the day, thanks to the staff who did this for us. The hotel is very neatly sited for all areas of the town & cathedral. Although the walk up the one way street isn't a pushover by any means. Would definitely visit the hotel again, give them a try you won't be disappointed.

City break in Durham.

Clean, comfortable bed and room; welcoming and friendly staff; lovely cooked breakfast, not overloaded and enough choice too; room had view of cathedral and castle. Thought the standard of accommodation was comparable to a good hotel. Only a couple of minutes walk from city centre Thanks for a lovely stay.

Great place to stay.

We stayed for 1 night on the way to Newcastle. The location is great right in the centre, and we couldn't fault the room or service. Great place to stay. Thank you for the hospitality.

Lovely centrally located guest house, friendly owners. Very nice rooms and breakfast. Fourth time I’ve stayed there. Street parking can be difficult, even with a permit provided by the owners, unless you arrive fairly early or late.
