Inns in Durham

"More than happy with our stay, will use them again, friendly staff."

"I can not recommend this place highly enough. Sheer luxury. The bed was so comfortable, we literally just sank into it. The bath was also amazing, much bigger than it appears in the photos. The staff were friendly and helpful. We were allowed to explore the castle as and when we liked. It is definitely worth paying the extra for breakfast, there was a continental breakfast buffet, with pastries, meats, cheese and fruits. After that you also get to order a cooked breakfast. Plenty of gluten free options, just ask and the staff will be more than happy to help. There was plenty of onsight parking, which is completely free. There was a bar open in the evening and an onsight restaurant, but we didnt use these so can not review them. They looked cosy as we walked past. "

"We arrived late so unfortunately didn’t get to experience the food but the bar and restaurant was lovely and we only wish we could have spent more time here. The decor is amazing. Rooms were large and comfortable and had everything we needed. Breakfast was amazing and the staff were very helpful."

"This is a hotel with real character. Built as a civic building in 1905, the hotel owner totally renovated the guest rooms but retained the beautiful interiors along the corridors, in the restaurant, etc. In the guest rooms, there is a rarity -- lots of electrical outlets! Also, as this building was built solid, guest rooms are quiet -- you hear nothing from the next room. All the staff (check in, restaurant, cleaners) were very helpful and pleasant. I would stay here again. "

"I brought my girlfriend for a nights stay. Absolutely brilliant. We will certainly be coming back. Cheers Matthew and Donna "

"Beautiful hotel and fabulous surrounding gardens. Excellent food and service in the stables. Very large car park and less than a mile from the Beamish museum. Would definitely stay here again."

"The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. Nice big room which was well furnished with everything you need. "

"What a gem of a place, ideal location, gorgeous views, super comfortable room and really friendly staff. One of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve had. It’s so nice to stay somewhere with so much character, if you’re going to Durham, stay here. "
