cosy, quirky and a lovely place to stay. great wifi!

was unaware it was pet friendly me and my daughter are allergic

good parking on site

it was clean and tidy, plenty of parking spaces and near to the town.

the breakfast was lovely

there was a good selection of cooked options for breakfast

on a beautiful, quiet road, yet short walk to city centre, cathedral, riverside, bars, restaurants & railway

gentlemens honesty bar was a luxurious touch

my cousins had booked the same hotel that night, and george was absolutely brilliant, opening the bar for us

from the beautiful views from our luxurious bedroom to the delicious breakfast , and not forgetting the suoer

guests were sniffy when the kids were loud playing in the pool but that's to be expected with older swimmers

was 2 singles pushed together , far too expensive but as a parent we needed that break from the kids to have a

had use of the pool and spa facilities

- asked and asked and when i actually pointed out i had waited over 20 mins they noticed the kitchen orders were

not great wifi and since i went for business this was crucial for me...

tv radio and kettle, nice en suite, room quite big, wifi

special mention goes out to the bar staff, who were very polite, friendly and, in phoebe's case, quite gregarious

walk from station (uphill), beautiful beer garden, lovely staff, good bar selection and prices, lovely clean

very friendly staff, and nice bar area to get a

nice room, excellent restaurant and bar just downstairs

only issue i had was that the wifi didn't reach my bedroom, but for most of the day it was easy to use the wifi

only thing i can complain about is the wifi, which was a bit too slow (i think it should depend on the room one

could use a sponge to wash dishes with in the kitchen.

there was a king bed, single bed, and kitchenette

little bar, room was decent enough just very squeaky floors and bed, and noise of kids outside wasn’t the best

ideal location central to everything,beautiful dining room ,superb breakfast and late check out

food is excellent as are the staff and the bar staff in-particular

room service serving only pizza or burgers

it was good to have a gym, but it's tiny, limited, and cold

i requested early check in and luckily a room was available

breakfast in the morning was continental, prefer full english but the continental was very nice

the breakfast is very nice here, definitely worth having

beautifully decorated bar where i

only a very short walk to the centre and the hotel has a lovely little bar downstairs which allows you take to

girlfriend loved the bath and i loved the walk in shower also the bar downstairs was very

the bar was super, and the locals were friendly

easy parking outside the pub

great relaxing bar with 2 well kept real ales

i loved that the bar was open and available for us to sit in, even with a small toddler

a pet peeve of mine is a tiny sink with a shelf positioned above it so you can t wash your face

parking just outside

the breakfast was served hot and all cutlery and plates were very clean

i leave for site before breakfast is served

the wifi signal not very strong, cold bathroom (no double glazing)

staff great with kids

information given on check in ie breakfast, wifi, covid 19

an old tv that did not work and no wifi

and we had to turn heating off it was so warm staff were very helpful nothing any trouble to them gym and food

very noisy guests younger kids banging doors constantly through the night

food is good but trying to eat and have a pint when people in gym kit and kids are running around isn t great

pool ,sauna cafe

table and chairs in kids area for breakfast not clean

free parking and if you are fit and healthy a reasonable walk into the splendid city of durham

even when we locked ourselves (twice) out if our rooms easy access to town lost of unrestricted parking with a

wifi could have been better

i had to re join the wifi each time

could not access the cloud wifi as i do not have an account.

wifi did not get to our room but was good in main part of building

the genre, the size, location, parking, everything!

value for money a kids breakfast bag of fruit (apple or banana) kids yoghurt and a bottle of orange or apple

manager also met our request for early check in

no designed area for smoking, no pet bowls in the room, no dog poo bins.

it was full of young kids - even in the jacuzzi which wasn’t allowed but no one challenged the large

gym and spa made the experience even better

paid for rose petals to be on the bed on arrival and they were not there

for a hotel that claims to be pet-friendly i'd suggest they are merely pet-tolerant

it was full of young kids - even in the jacuzzi which wasn t allowed but no one challenged the large

the spa bath was fantastic the bed, the bed was something else

place very friendly staff fantastic food brilliant beer garden plenty of space for kids to play will be going

we appreciated the free parking on site

my kids would have loved the play ground and in particular the gorilla in the garden

not informed of breakfast times & how a tab would need to be opened to order room service, so had to go to hotel

again wifi was an issue , .. there is no wifi.

corridor did smell of dogs but it is a pet friendly hotel so this is probably to be expected

sure if it was the room we were in as i think we were next to the kitchen - at night there seemed to be some

value for money other places to eat and drink / shop close by which was very helpful with the kids

plenty of parking and good amenities very close by
