Lock in a great price for Bowburn Hall Hotel – rated 8.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

Excellent breakfast with a wide choice all organic sourced locally. Staff were extremely helpfully, nothing too much trouble. Ideal location near A1(M).

Steve, United Kingdom

Liked the decor, also food was value for money, service was quick.

Clare, United Kingdom

The staff were very friendly and provided excellent customer service. The stay was too short as it was for a business meeting and an early departure was required the following morning, so the full extent of facilities could not be enjoyed.

Richard, United Kingdom

Lesley, United Kingdom

I had an excellent steak - tasty and cooked (medium) to perfection. My wife and I enjoyed both our Starters and Main Courses and, despite being quite full, I could not ressist a Dessert ... worth it! ALL of the staff, throughout the hotel, were charming and friendly. Equally good Breakfast.

Richard, United Kingdom

Overall the room, including the bathroom was excellent. The staff in the restaurant were very friendly, professional and attentive. We required a connection for our phones, and this was supplied at once. Very good.

“Excellent Custmer Service. Always.”

Nothing that can be resolved as it can only be improved by being closer to Durham from a business-conducting perspective. However, not everyone will be visiting the area for business purposes and it is very good for a leisure trip.
The staff were very friendly and provided excellent customer service. The stay was too short as it was for a business meeting and an early departure was required the following morning, so the full extent of facilities could not be enjoyed.

“Enjoyable and relaxing.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 2 nights
I really do think the website should be clear about the lack of any Lift to the bedrooms. Climbing the second flights to the top floor is quite a challenge! That said the staff were most helpful and, when I asked, brought my case down without hesitation (or my embarassment). {Indeed they did offer when we arrived but I declined - unaware of "the challenge"!! I also found the space allocatted for the en-suite Toilet rather restrictive (narrow) but also appreciate there is little alternative in such an historic building. Very good shower adjacent. I did think that the one (sometimes two) females behind the bar were stretched, trying to take food orders, serve at the Bar and serve & clear the Restaurant and settle Tabs/Accounts after dining - which can leave customers waiting a short while at the Bar. Minor comment: Having Reserved a table for Diner (at Reception, on arrival, it was a little strange to then arrive in te restaurant and, without prompting (staff not prsent) having to find our own table - unsure if we had been allocatted a specific table. This could have been made clearer. Therefater all was fine.
I had an excellent steak - tasty and cooked (medium) to perfection. My wife and I enjoyed both our Starters and Main Courses and, despite being quite full, I could not ressist a Dessert ... worth it! ALL of the staff, throughout the hotel, were charming and friendly. Equally good Breakfast.

“Overall a good hotel.”

We were kept awake at night by a loud scratching sound coming from either under the wardrobe or within the wall cavity. When we reported this to the night manager, we were told it must be squirrels, and they would chase them out the following day. No apology to us for getting no sleep. No change of room. Nothing. Very disappointing. The noise was not squirrels. They are not nocturnal animals. Sound was noisier than a mouse.
Overall the room, including the bathroom was excellent. The staff in the restaurant were very friendly, professional and attentive. We required a connection for our phones, and this was supplied at once. Very good.

“Nice enough hotel if you don't mind being out of Durham”

The top floor where our room was situated was a bit shabby and the bedroom door was loose on its hinges. The hotel is now surrounded by a housing estate which rather spoils its rural position. There was a very noisy group having a family celebration in the function room which spread throughout the ground floor area which went on from lunchtime to late evening and left nowhere for other guests to have a peaceful meal/drink
Room was recently decorated and the bathroom brand new. Breakfast was excellent
