Brilliant place to stay, free parking, great food

Fantastic place, just off the A1M, perfect for a stop off. Very clean, comfortable and quiet room. Smoke free parking. The staff were very helpful. Food was amazing, huge portions at dinner and freshly cooked breakfasts. Really great place to stay!

A good hotel for visiting Durham

A comfortable, quiet yet conveniently situated hotel. Our king size bed was a little firm, but that's personal taste. Breakfasts were tasty and nicely cooked and served. We didn't eat dinner at the hotel. There's plenty of car parking, but it does get busy with diners' cars. The free wi-fi was fine. Out tv needed a new aerial cable, which was sorted immediately when we raised the issue. Staff were friendly and approachable. Sadly, as the twelve bedrooms are all up one or two flights of steep, quite narrow stairs, we won't be returning - but would recommend it to more mobile travellers.

There were several family members who stayed her for a family reunion and it was perfect. Caitlin was a lovely lady who looked after us she was extremely kind and helpful nothing was too much trouble. The rest of the staff were just as nice and friendly. The meals were great and huge, it was a shame that we couldn't have stayed longer to try one of there roast dinners. The rooms were spotless and very well kept. If we needed extras for our rooms we only needed to ask. We would definitely stay here again and would recommended it, the only negative would be that the reception desk would have someone there, otherwise perfect

Lovely place to stay. There were a number of marks on the walls and the table was dusty, but apart from that, everything else was great. Thank you.

The room was comfortable and clean. Everything was well thought out and every thing easy to use. The food was very nice and the service was good. On a negative note the floor above was very squeaky and woke us up at 5.30 in the morning when they started walking up and down!
