Though I booked a twin room, Booking.com conveyed a single room. But the staff changed to a twin room for us. Then we could spend comfortably :)

The staff could not have been better and the room was very comfortable with a lovely large bed. breakfast is always very special and the food in the evening is also very good. the hotel is very handy for the city centre.

Stephanie on reception could not have been more welcoming and helpful. The swimming pool was a wow with grandson. The location was central for Durham and with the very valuable help of the reception staff, we used the hotel as a base for Beamish Museum

Amanda,

Central location. Lovely, professional, friendly and helpful staff. Clean and spacious room. Comfortable bed. Plenty of room to spread out my stuff and have my case on something other than the floor for unpacking; same true for the bathroom. Provision of iron, ironing board and hairdryer as well as trouser press. Very nice complimentary toiletries. Lovely thick and sizeable towels. Good buffet breakfast served up until 10.30am so no need to get up in a hurry. Good check in and out times so I did not feel rushed.

The hotel is very well placed, only a few steps away (uphill!) from the centre of Durham and its medieval centre - which was a bonus for us on what proved to be a couple of very hot late spring days! Having a room overlooking the main road was not a problem. We did not find the noise invasive even during morning and evening "rush hour". Friendly, efficient and helpful staff throughout. Will definitely use again if in the area.

Had a great night away, the main thing that made the stay so memorable was the staff!! You have the most friendly and helpful staff team of all hotels I have stayed at in recent years!! The recommendations by your reception staff were particularly good! Went to the cellar door Resturant and had a fantastic meal! The 10% voucher was a very nice touch!!!
