Incredibly comfortable beds in a stylish setting.
Parking arrangements could be improved as it was quite tricky.

Check-in and check-out timings felt cramped, with only a short window to enjoy the facilities, breakfast, or relax in the garden. The ground floor rooms can get quite hot, making it uncomfortable without the option to open windows due to their proximity to the pavement. Some areas showed signs of previous leaks, which could affect the overall comfort. While the parking permit is useful, it only offers 3 hours of free parking daily, which may be a hassle for longer stays.

Charming stay with fab views
Really loved our time here! The room was spacious and comfy, and the breakfast options were awesome, especially the full English. Only thing was the breakfast room felt super quiet, like whisper territory. The location is perfect for exploring, so many good pubs just a short walk away!

Consider requesting gluten-free breakfast options upon arrival. they were excellent and not widely advertised.

The room was clean and comfy, and I especially loved the super shower in the spacious bathroom. Relaxing in the lovely garden with a glass of wine was a real treat, and I also enjoyed chatting with other guests over breakfast. On a minor note, it got a bit noisy at night, but it didn't really ruin my stay. 😊

Solid choice for a holiday in Durham with good price-quality ratio. The room was clean and comfortable, which was a relief after a long trip. Just be cautious with directions as the streets can be tricky to navigate around here.

The location is fantastic, just a brief stroll from shops, cafes, and historic sites. The room was spacious and well-appointed, featuring a modern ensuite with a large shower. Breakfast was a highlight, with exceptional choices including fresh bread rolls and a delicious full English. Although parking was limited and navigating the cobbled street was a challenge in snowy weather, the overall experience was very satisfying.
