I wanted to add an extra night last minute and the staff were so helpful to keep us in the same room. We also went into the restaurant to play darts and the staff had great service as the board was away and they were very quick to move things around and change things so we were able to play!

There was an unfortunate boiler breakdown during my stay but the staff responded professionally and very helpfully. As usual, room and bathroom were brilliantly clean and the restaurant served its usual excellent food, including an impressive choice at breakfast. I will be using this hotel as is usual for my future visits to Durham.

Don't have a pet so cant comment. Room was comfortable and had a good night sleep. Didn't have breakfast but bought a Late which did the trick. Breakfast was only £12 apparently - a bargain. Hotel location was great, lovely field with Deer in at back. Couldn't hear traffic from Road.

Staff were welcoming and helpful. Room was suited to limited mobility, as you can park adjacent (motel style) and minimal steps, but shower is over bath, so not for all. Room was clean with basic amenities, comfortable beds, great views over fields with deer and pheasants. Breakfast was traditional and OK, but we brunched in town the following morning. Bar meals are classic pub grub, tasty and good value. Local buses stop frequently, just outside, which was great for getting in to Durham, about 10 mins to the bus station/shops/cathedral/old colleges. Would recommend for a budget stopover and will use again
