Guher Canada

We stay here often and this was a very quick stay for a graduation so we didn’t have time for breakfast sadly. We did however have drinks at the bar on the evening before and the bar man was really helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Mags United Kingdom

The hotel offered everything we needed at an affordable price. The staff were very welcoming and the room was comfortable. The location is great: lovely countryside but handy for the city centre. I would stay here again.

Rachel United Kingdom

Breakfast and evening meal were fantastic, all freshly made and plenty of food on the plate.

Harvey United Kingdom

We stayed here whilst visiting family in the north east. We travelled as a family of 5 plus our dog so stayed across 2 rooms. The hotel was pleasant, clean and the staff extremely friendly. We ate daily in the restaurant and the food was exceptional in terms of taste, quality and value. The hotel is also perfectly situated for a base for the visits/walks we did. We will certainly be back soon.

Jonathan United Kingdom

It's so well places for Durham when visiting our son and everything is easy when their. The meals are excellent as is the breakfast.

Gary United Kingdom

Lovely location, the restaurant is good, if a little limited in choices. Clsoe to the City of Durham which is a lovely place. Parking is no problem

Ian United Kingdom

Easy to locate and close to major routes Room warm and inviting on arrival Big bath and hot hot water Great breakfast cooked to order
