Ok for short stay

In close distance to Durham. Nice Pub and Thai Restaurant on Site. Friendly staff. Let down by bad odour in the guest part and in the room. Next to a busy road means you can’t sleep with the windows open. Very bouncy mattress and uncomfortable pillows.

Welcoming and friendly staff ,clean room similar to prem inn in design. Breakfast at £11.00 is not really worth it . The primary care centre near by does a full English for £6.00 far beter. Bar food though is good and if you want a bit of class trir Thai restaurant is excellent.
