Great service and helpful staff. We are happy with with their free breakfast. It was cosy and cleanliness was up to expectations. It was very well maintained and there were no stained carpets unlike other hotels. It was so convenient to go to Durham city and we could have all our meals here when it was dark. We spend a lot of time in the cafe / pub as it was so comfortable that it felt like home. We would definitely come back if we visit Durham.

Daryl was very welcoming, as were the front house staff through to housekeeping. You will not be disappointed when you stay here!
