    comfortable bed
    amazing attractions

    great food nearby and fine park views for walking

    The comfortable bed also. As a single traveler, I appreciated the proximity to various landmarks, made my weekend city strolls a pleasure, but the breakfast timing could be improved for those with a tighter schedule.

    The hotel was a good base for enjoying a domestic area, just next door to the pub, the restaurant, and Durham. Liked the price of our twin room and its essentials. Beds were very comfy. Thanks to the amicable staff everything was perfect.

    The hotel staff was quite busy.

    local ambiance
    scenic views
    poor wi-fi
    noise disturbance

    Local pub ambiance, scenic outdoor views, robust social media presence promoting events

    Wi-Fi quality was dismal due to the reliance on a cloud service!!! Noise levels from the pub on Saturday nights were unbearable!!! The shower temperature control clearly needs some serious attention!!!

    clean rooms
    friendly staff
    fantastic food
    visible laundry
    unprofessional appearance

    Enjoyed tasty roasts and enjoyed a couple of gin trees. We also visited a nearby pub to catch the biggest games on Super Sunday. The staff were super friendly and the food was fantastic. Rooms were clean and comfy, no disturbances at night. Would definitely recommend for a fun getaway.

    One downside was that we found the laundry stored in areas visible to guests, a bit off-putting. It seemed unprofessional and should be addressed.

    thin walls

    The staff were pretty good too accommodate us, and the live music added a special touch to our evening meal.

    My kids wished for a little more soundproofing on the walls.

    generous breakfast

    It was a smart choice for a quick layover in Durham with good value. The full English breakfast was generous and tasty. Make sure to ask about any meal options before arriving.

    Perfect Base with Tasty Breakfasts

    Loved the comfy room with a big TV and a good breakfast menu. Melanie was super nice and always made our mornings better. And a bar/lounge area was a bonus! Only thing is, the parking was a bit tight at times.
