We had a nice big clean room and en-suite. We loved the tasty breakfast in the morning. Excellent B&B, would go again. Nothing at all! note: The road sign isn't very clear. It's exactly opposite the drive to the house on a busy road and easy to miss.

Stunning bedroom - more than spacious, very comfortable and with attractive decor, felt very private and had lovely view of grounds. Bathroom also very good size, with excellent shower and fast-filling bath.

Everything about Sniperley Hall was superb and we would definitely go there again. We also liked how close Sniperley Hall is to Durham Park and Ride which made our visit to the area much easier without the hassle of driving or finding parking places in the city This is not a complaint as such, but for people getting on in years as we are, the bed, although very comfortable was a bit too low and a little difficult for us to get into or out of it.

The owners are very welcoming, friendly & helpful. The room was huge, well furnished & comfortable as was the en-suite bathroom. Breakfast was more than adequate, well cooked & in a relaxed environment. The situation of the Hall is also good being a 5 min walk to the park & ride to Durham or if you like walking a 30 min walk to the city. Would definitely stay there again & recommend it to friends. nothing!!

The friendly welcome and amazing breakfast was best we ever had in over 40 years of travelling. The size of the rooms was amazing. I will definitely use this b&b again and have already recommended it to friends and colleagues. Stay was too short, should of stayed longer.

Closeness to city, friendly staff, kind lift by owners to city, quiet, spacious bedroom and ensuite The bed mattress dipped into the middle even though it was huge-no good for bad backs! Lacking one or two extra touches-eg no drinking glasses in bathroom, no choice of white or brown toast, 'mug' in bedroom too small and fiddly

This lovely old house is a world away from your usual b and b. Our stay was faultless,except for the weather! The lovely warm bedroom was huge with a very comfortable bed. The large en-suite bathroom had a very good shower and was also nice and warm. Breakfast was served in the dining room which had coal fire. The food was cooked and served by the owners, Jim and Irene, and our full English breakfast set us up for the day. We can also recommend the locally made jams and marmalade. Nothing was too much trouble and we would definitely stay there again. Can't think of anything we didn't like.
