Seven Stars Inn  

Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent evening meal, good value for money.

Shower was quite weak.

The pub downstairs was nice, and the food was good. The staff was friendly, and the surrounding area was lovely for long walks.

Although there was wireless internet advertised, it was very slow and essentially useless. Also, it's a bit of a walk into town, which isn't terrible if you have time, but is a bit rough when you have things to do!

Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were of a good standard and comfortable. Cosy bar area warm and relaxed. Restaurant was outstanding. Easy access to Durham City Centre - walkable distance.

Nothing that would prevent me staying again. Water pressure was low in the shower.

Attentive staff, good food, clean simple accommodation.

The staff were welcoming and friendly. Room was Clean, comfortable and basic. Food was lovely with a nice selection of wine, real ale and whiskey.

Open fires, warm atmosphere and nice beer in the bar, nice rooms, comfy bed.

On the 2nd night, the staff cocked up my meal order and brought the wrong meal even though I heard the waitress say I'd ordered a chef's special. No apology, nothing. They then managed to mess up the bill, eventually charged me for the meal I actually had, but charged me for the complete stay twice to my credit card! Eventually sorted out when it was spotted on the statement, but even so... A nice stay spoilt by poor staff.

Excellent staff and food/menu very good.

En-suite could be better.

Charming country inn with very good restaurant. Friendly and helpful staff.

If you have read the website and know what to expect: a country inn : then there should be nothing to dislike.

Evertything was excellent, superb staff and food was top draw. Quiz is very hard though on a Monday evening but great fun!!

Nothing!

Quality of staff training, cosy lounge and excellent food.

Unable to get mobile connection, shower very weak.

Almost everything you would expect from a relatively low priced pub/b&b. The food was very good and staff very helpful and friendly. It was very clean and comfortable. It is located in a lovely small village in easy walking distance of Durham centre.

I cannot think of anything we disliked.

Friendly, helpful staff. Comfortable, spotless and spacious room (though bathroom was rather cramped!). Generous supply of tea, coffee and biscuits. Restaurant was above the standard of normal "pub fare", and they readily accepted the discount voucher we had found on the "This is Durham" website.

Very poor network in wifi and mobile phone, always couldn't connected wifi and cell phone. No telephone was provided by hotel. Duty bed side table ; I think nobody cleaned the table and bath room had small flies always. Too small room and not for two people because there had a small desk and one chair only.poor shower water and the water temperture was not stable.

Excellent food and friendly

Lovely food, great beer, friendly staff, clean room, comfy bed. Well recommend it and will stay again if we are ever in the area

Everything. The staff were warm and friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

some of the young night staff were pleasant but the man from whom I requested a discount due to inadequacy of facilities was unpleasant and refused anyt discounq

Almost everything: steak tasted old shower had no instructions and I couldn't work it and there was no phone to call reception about this. heater didn't work properly and night staff didn't know what to do to to remedy that free wifi didn't work people tramped noisily past the thin wall of my room til all hours

Pleasant surroundings, amiable staff, comfortable room, good bhreakfast

Travelled from Belfast Northern Ireland. Stayed one night after leaving our son to university. Beautiful location and Inn. Friendly welcome. Great nights sleep in comfortable bed. Excellent choice for breakfast. Splendidly cooked breakfast after warm and friendly morning greeting all with a 1st class service. The Inn, with its wooden panel walls, creaking floor boards, the odd clink from the bedroom radiator and old world charm is an oassis which no clinical, modern, all mod-con hotel can offer. Press the "book now" buttom. Alistair & Lucille

good quiet location, staff freindly and helpful, hotel very bijou, food excellent.

noisy cistern in room number eight

the room and shower room very clean

we were next to a staff flat and there was a lot of coming and going from us going to bed 10.30 until after 1am which prevented us getting to sleep until 1.30

Pleasant location and room comfortable. Food good.

Everywhere smelt of cooking, which was a shame. Have lost the comfortable relaxed seating area to house more tables; a big disappointment from our previous visit two years ago. Need a wider choice of food for breakfast; a distinct absence of fresh fruit and continental choices!! Having booked a evening meal on arrival, this seemed to have been lost and the service between courses left much to be desired.

Friendliness of the Staff. Nothing was too much trouble to welcolme and make youe stay enjoyable.

fantastic beer good stock of whisky fantastic food very plesent staff will be back

nothing

I enjoyed the friendliness of the staff, and the inn's location of being close to Durham but not in the city centre.

The bathroom was in need of a revamp.
