Such a charming B&B nestled in a lovely historic building. It had so much character and comfort—I’d definitely come back!
Berna, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent host. Great room. Great breakfast.
David, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This place is full of character and very well-appointed. In a quiet location without through-traffic, but 15 minutes' walk from the city centre, also close to bus routes, and convenient for driving out to other places. Breakfasts are very good and you can book an evening meal.
Margaret, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The manager Anna couldn’t have been nicer. She greeted us with a cup of tea and biscuits and allowed us to check-in early and was very helpful with suggestions of things to do in the city. Rooms were comfortable and quiet and included on-site free parking. Location just a short walk into the centre. Breakfast also very good with lots of options.
Debra, 2-night trip

Beautiful hotel in the city

Beautiful hotel located a short walk from Durham city centre. Clean and spacious room. Fantastic Indian restaurant attached to the hotel. Bed was so comfortable! Staff were very efficient, nothing was a problem, very friendly.
Jade, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Anna, the manager, is a gem. She was incredibly helpful, friendly and efficient. What an asset. The house is very well located about a 10 minute walk from the center. It’s near the top of a fairly steep hill. Room was clean and very quiet. Great night sleep.

Emma, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very comfortable guest house. Anna, the Manager, was very welcoming and helpful. We had a spacious and very homely room. Very convenient and with free parking. About a 15 minute walk into Durham (downhill, so uphill coming back!). Breakfast was excellent. Didn't particularly rate the attached Indian restaurant though - the one and only FoH chap was not that friendly, and food was okay but nothing special.

10/10 Excellent

Lovely traditional English guest house hotel. Simple arrival and check out, good breakfast with great options (menu choice, vegan, veggie, gf etc). Friendly staff, comfy bed (my ‘single’ was a small double) and no noisy air con/heating systems etc. A steep walk up from the city centre but not too far and no problem for me.
