The room was tastefully decorated and was top quality. The beds was very comfortable. I was in a twin room with my sister and we both agreed it was the best night's sleep we'd had in ages.

I cannot recommend this hotel enough. It was brilliant. From the staff to the location and the room I cannot fault anything. The restaurant was exceptional and was probably one of the best meals of our entire two and a half week UK tour. The staff are so friendly. Rooms large and clean. Beds very comfortable. You also get access to an indoor pool area with steam room, sauna and jacuzzi. I perfect hotel for the stunning city of Durham.

An absolute luxury it was to stay here. My room was beautiful and so clean (and i dont say that lightly). The food here is so nice. I ate breakfast here for the 2 days. It was so fresh and cooked to order including a continental syle buffet too. My friends came to meet me and we all had dinner here too, which we all commented on how nice it was. The restaurant is beautiful. The following day I attended a wedding that was being held here. What a venue! North East England is so underrated. Be sure to book here if you ever pass through. You'll love it!

The castle and grounds is amazing, very interesting and very beautiful. The Spanish Gallery is incredible - to find such a superb collection here and so well displayed. The Mining Art Gallery is well worth a visit. The wider town is very run-down but great efforts are being made to reinvigorate it and it is beginning to show. The people are also very pleasant. Currently hard to find nice places to stay and to eat out, but that will get better. A new central hotel is currently being built. There are a couple of pleasant cafes and a Wetherspoons in a historic central building. Our second visit, and we will be back again.
