Location was perfect to walk into town . Staff bent over backwards to provide a pack breakfast as we were leaving very early . Room nicely decorated

Jackie United Kingdom

I had a very comfortable stay at Kings Lodge. The room was cosy, clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly. It is in an ideal location about 10 minutes' walk from the town centre but off the main road so nice and quiet. The free parking is great because there is almost nowhere to park in town.

Guy United Kingdom

Service was amazing. Location excellent. Property so quaint. Very dog-friendly and remains very clean. The restaurant is excellent for all meals - breakfast, lunch and dinner with delicious options. The room was generous in size with tea/coffee making facilities. All our needs were catered for.

Dea United Kingdom

Great location to get into Durham from, and they kindly said we could leave the car in the carpark while we explored. Bedroom was lovely - good size, with en suite, very comfortable bed. Nice supper & breakfast

Karen United Kingdom

Excellent location for both the city and the railway

Lynne Brunei Darussalam

The staff were lovely and friendly and very helpful and they were very welcoming to our little dog. The location of the hotel is great, very close to the city centre yet tucked away so very little noise and no passing traffic. Woods right on the doorstep were great for walking the dog. Shower was lovely and powerful. We were there for the Lumiere festival.

Jeanette Switzerland

Great lunch, excellent location, clean, comfy room.
