The location was great for visiting Durham and surrounding areas. The staff we met were lovely and nothing too much trouble. Easy to do the self checkin by phone, I previously was a little concerned as I've read very negative reviews regarding this however we were given a mobile number to call on arrival and Beth guided us in so no problem with this. Room was basic as expected from understanding the pub is closed and looking for new owners and very cheap rate. Just needs a little tlc but everything was there for us.

Bed needs renewing as a little lumpy although we slept well. There was a fire door in the corridor to the room that banged loudly however this was only from around 8.30am when staff were cleaning etc, so didn't really effect us. I can honestly say that if a little work was done and the pub open this place would be a perfect place to stay if you prefer a quieter location than the city centre.

It’s a beautiful looking building with a nice reception area and lovely staff, nothing was too much trouble for them. We were given a free upgrade to an Executive Family Room, which was very comfortable and clean too.

It was quite rundown in areas which were out of public view.

Location is very good, I had a lovely view out towards Dunkery Beacon. The owners made a huge effort to make me comfortable. There is no restaurant or pub in the village but evening meals are provided on request.

Our TV didnt seem to work but it wasnt a big deal for us anyways. A mini fridge of some sort would have been handy but this is more nit picking rather than any actual issue
