We stayed at the Three Tunns Hotel in Durham for 2 nights 27-29 April 2013.. We stayed in room 113 overlooking the front of the building, noisy but warm.We have stayed here before because of the ideal location for the centre of Durham. Yes the rooms are dated but the food has always been good. The staff are friendly and... More

Stayed 2 nights for a weekend break. Rooms and breakfast were fine, decor and hotel generally a bit dated. Roadside rooms a bit noisy depending on time of day due to traffic. Taps in bathroom didn't fully turn off. Good value for what we paid and good central location.

Myself my husband and two friends decided to visit Beamish Museum, we looked for places to stay nearby and found the three tunns inn. I am so glad we did.

The reviews I read we're mixed and I was slightly apprehensive, however I'm writing this on our last night of a three night break and I have nothing but praise for the hotel. Yes it could do with refurbishment but having said that and I'm sure all the negative comments dwelled on that. We were booked into a superior room... More

Small room but perfect for my needs. Restaurant had a menu that changed every night, it always had plenty of selection, great value as well. Great car park though limited on spaces. The hotel is perfectly situated within walking distance of all attractions of Durham.

Yes this hotel is tired, it has been in administration since 2006?. But it has lots of charm, why do the patrons not frequent the bar which is OK, yes it could be better but if you do not use the hotel it will not get investment it needs.

The shabby carpets, the holes in the wallpaper, the worn out tired decor pulled this hotel way down. It could be so much better than this. The staff were friendly enough, but I got the impression that they just could not be bothered anymore. On the plus side, the breakfast room had ancient beams and doors, with linen table cloths...
