Really great find. Excellent food and a great bar. Staff were just brilliant, Charlotte especially. Wonderful, very quiet and well appointed. Just great to sit in the main room with a book and admire the view. We did the taxi to Durham Cathedral just to complete our day.

Staff were fine and helpful only criticisms were no comfy chair/s in the room, and it was a bit bizarre lying listening to the couple next doors conversation, the walls must be very thin indeed, apart from that all good, breakfast was really good value for money, and we will stay again

Lovely surroundings. Our room was cozy. Nicely decorated but carpet could have benefited from a shampoo. En suite very small. Shower small if you are not very thin! Window seat only sitting option which was ok if not closing curtains Lovely food in the evening. Breakfast average and not great selection for continental. All in all though we would definitely return but would book larger room

61 Durham is a lovely looking hotel with some building maintenance issues which is a shame. The breakfast included in our deal was absolutely gorgeous, staff throughout were very personable. The lounge was also very comfortable, however the bedroom we stayed in was too small - a cosy double. Windows and sills need attention as does the surrounding plasterwork this side of the winter I would suggest. The ensuite was reasonably well maintained. I appreciate the above concerns need money but I would suggest this would polish up what is essentially a lovely hotel within the Durham environs.

The property location is great, and the staff are very helpful and friendly. However , there was a noise from the hot water system (possibly)which switched on and off throughout the night. It made for a very disturbed sleep. The dining room was cold because the roof vents could not be closed. A shame because it could be great, and the staff are a delight
