This is a lovely place to stay. It was exceptionally clean. We enjoyed our breakfast that was served promptly. The breakfasts provide gluten free food as well as a variety of choices. The hotel has been modernised to a high standard. Our only concern was our double room being the attic there wasn't sufficient height to the ceiling for my husband who is 6ft 4inches. He could walk down the centre of the room and the shower was too low. I think if we had stayed more than the 1 night we would have asked if we could swap rooms. But overall a beautiful place to stay. Just ask about room height if you are taller than my height, 5ft 4in.

We stayed in a family room and the service was incredibly friendly and hospitable. The cooked breakfast was fabulous!

Very nice stay. Room was lovely with great views. Short walking distance to Durham bars and restaurants. Breakfast was good and staff very friendly. Only issues we had and it’s really nitpicking but the car park and walk up to the reception was pitch black when we arrived and couldn’t see where we were walking. Also there was some work being done to the property as we were leaving and the loading vehicle blocked the exit so we had to wait 10 minutes. Like I say though, that’s being very picky. Lush place.

This is hafway between a bread and breakfast and a hotel. On the B&B side, it is quirky with rooms carved out of a historic building. They have done this very well. Reception is not full time but ‘on demand’, but service was quick. On the hotel side, it is professionally run and breakfast is outstanding. Service is excellent - very friendly people. Parking can be a bit of a nuisance in Durham, but this hotel has enough spaces. Although the hotel is old, the rooms are well maintained. Bed was comfy and shower great. My only gripe is the headroom on the top floor - if you are over 6ft tall, you are better off on a lower floor as the ceilings are low in places.

Really nice people in a nice comfortable guest house rather than a full service hotel. Much better option than an impersonal modern chain hotel, even though only half board, although the breakfasts were great. However, there is a very good small Indian restaurant and bar on the ground floor through the garden doors, where we had a really good evening meal on one night. We would certainly go back, as it's our sort of place to stay.

Had a great stay breakfast was lovely great gluten free option available. Room was lovely except we were in the attic and work was being done on the roof. The bathroom window was not fixed down so there was a bit of debris on the floor and there were quite a few flies. It didn't detract from the stay and the view was amazing

Welcomed by a lovely lady on Reception. Property clean and comfortable throughout. We had the attic room which has low ceilings but was full of character. A steady walk into Durham City. Great breakfast too. I would stay again and recommend to others.

The hotel was good but the Indian restaurant in the basement was exceptional, best food we have eaten for some time.
