The property is very authentic. It has maintained its origin.
We stayed in one of the attic rooms. The description does say sloping ceilings and private bathroom opposite bedroom. You presume that the attic room is the only room so coming out of your room to go opposite to the bathroom will be okay. The bathroom is not opposite, it’s down a hallway and there are 3 other rooms on this floor. It was not made clear enough and it’s not ideal at all.
Anna at breakfast was
Wonderful and very friendly. Good choice of breakfast, quick service
Parking was a bonus
Our pillowcases were bobbled and we had a roof room. My husband is 6 foot 2 so spent most of the evening hunched over in the room whilst walking round. Staff weren’t to know this when allocating rooms.
Nice room, friendly and helpful staff, food excellent.
Location, lovely bathroom
Hard work getting heavy suitcases up a narrow staircase
Son calme et son style anglais
L’accueil excellent et le confort à l’ancienne…

I honestly thought we would be disappointed as from the outside it looked a little gloomy but my goodness when we got inside! It was beautiful! I believe some former guests complained about some of the furniture being dated but whilst a few items may have looked that way, it is all top quality furniture, tasteful and absolutely everything was spotlessly clean. We loved it! Anna and her team were absolutely outstanding, really looked after us and the breakfast was phenomenal.
Nothing we didn’t like.
Nice and quiet
The fact there was no Ev charging point for car.
Really warm welcome & care from the hotel manager. Lovely views. Room was very spacious.
Everything. Would definitely recommend and return.
Staff are amazing, rooms excellent, great views. Food delicious and the in house Indian restaurant is one of the best we have been to.
Very welcoming manager and a lovely view from our room. Great breakfast
A bit of a walk in to town ??
We loved everything…the character of the place, it is very walkable to the town centre, the staff were very friendly, the attached Indian food restaurant was great: very good meal, wonderful service. Really good breakfast!

Located in a quiet leafy suburb only 10-15 mins walk downhill to Durham City Centre. Frequent bus route back up the hill to a nearby bus stop. Large well equipped bedroom. Friendly, helpful staff. Brilliant Indian Restaurant on the premises. Good breakfast with a wide-ranging menu.
