Its history, the gardens and the room was very comfortable with nice outlook. Breakfast was generous with gluten free options available. We were able to explore most of the historic areas which are amazing. The whole property is beautifully maintained and all the staff are so friendly, kind and helpful. Very good value for money.

I liked the young, warm, and friendly staff. My room was very comfortable; also, I ate most of my meals here and they were good. Durham, was a bit overwhelming for my first time, but members of the staff helped me get oriented so that I could walk to the train station and the cathedral. Both were easy enough to get to for anyone who is used to walking a bit. I would recommend this place.

    Location for us was ideal as we needed a night between Darlington and Durham. Very clean, comfortable bed. Breakfast of toast and cornflakes left in room. I did not like the shared bathroom, although I knew it was going to be shared.
