Brilliant location

The best location to visit the city - 5 minutes walk. The room was very good and the breakfast excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We travelled by train. We went by bus to Beamish using the local bus app. Crook Hall gardens, the Cathedral and the castle all worth visiting and in easg walking distance. We plan to visit again.

Warm, inviting & friendly Guest House.

Once I found the hotel all was good. The postcode took me straight to it, but it's difficult to see it as it's high up to your left side on a one way street. Parking is available opposite the hotel but the road is quite narrow & the cars are parked at around 37 degrees outside a few working men's clubs. The Hotel will provide a token for parking, but after checking I used my disability card which meant I was parked for free the few days we stayed. The rooms are bright & fresh, the beds are comfortable & clean as the room & hotel is. Breakfast was served at the time we asked & was just right to start the day, thanks to the staff who did this for us. The hotel is very neatly sited for all areas of the town & cathedral. Although the walk up the one way street isn't a pushover by any means. Would definitely visit the hotel again, give them a try you won't be disappointed.

City break in Durham.

Clean, comfortable bed and room; welcoming and friendly staff; lovely cooked breakfast, not overloaded and enough choice too; room had view of cathedral and castle. Thought the standard of accommodation was comparable to a good hotel. Only a couple of minutes walk from city centre Thanks for a lovely stay.

Great place to stay.

We stayed for 1 night on the way to Newcastle. The location is great right in the centre, and we couldn't fault the room or service. Great place to stay. Thank you for the hospitality.

Lovely centrally located guest house, friendly owners. Very nice rooms and breakfast. Fourth time I’ve stayed there. Street parking can be difficult, even with a permit provided by the owners, unless you arrive fairly early or late.

This was our second stay at the hotel, we have family in the area and this is very convenient to their house and city. Very clean room and spotless bathroom. Breakfast was very nice and tasty. We did report a leak from the radiator as the carpet was wet when we left in Room 1, hopefully that will be sorted out . That was the only issue , we will be back again next time we’re in the UK visiting our family.

The property was lovely: immaculate, comfortable and in a great location. Our arrival was marred by the fact there was noone to let us in although it was after the check in time. We waited for about 30 minutes during which time we called the property number to.no avail. Eventually a man ambled towards us and without greeting us, introducing himself or apologising let us in. It became apparent that he was the son of the owner and he didn't know where she was. Our booking details were incorrect and although I had proof he argued repeatedly about it. We had booked 2 double rooms, one each for 2 people. He insisted the booking was for one double for one person and a twin for 2 people. Then he couldn't find the key to one of the rooms. He was rude when we asked about parking. We both thought that in the morning the owner might speak to us at breakfast, perhaps apologise for what had happened. No sign of her! The breakfast was very nice although my friend was surprised to see only one mushroom on her full English plate. Abd before you ask, it wasn't a big one. All in all, a lovely place with a very peculiar attitude to customers.
