Travelled with partner
Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My partner and I stayed for an evening while visiting Durham. The room and staff exceeded our expectations. Both the bedroom and bathroom were tastefully designed and extremely spacious. We were lucky enough to have a view of the cathedral. Breakfast was of very high quality and served in a very pleasant environment. The staff were very polite and sought to help us at every opportunity. Would love to visit again.
