“Spotless hotel with friendly service close to Durham”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

We stayed overnight on a journey to Scotland so that we could enjoy the sights of Durham which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a short drive in to the city and the staff at the hotel recommended a convenient place to park. The hotel offers spacious rooms around a courtyard, immaculately presented, and the staff were wonderful... More

“Pleasant Stay...”

Reviewed 6 May 2013

My wife and I took advantage of the £99 offer, which included a stay in one of the challets and a 4 course meal. The rooms were very small but nicely decorated and very clean and modern, especially the bathroom. I quite liked the fact that we could park our car right outside our room. The bar and restaurant areas... More

“Disaster and Delight!”

Reviewed 4 May 2013

Checked Laterooms for a rate and got £44.55 for one night in a courtyard room, no breakfast. Checked the hotels own website and got exactly the same rate, plus other options. Opted for a two night stay with 4 course dinner (one of which is coffee), on first night plus two full breakfasts, for £149.00 for the two of us..... More

“Best place in town!!”

Reviewed 3 May 2013 via mobile

We stayed here for one night and we were totally delighted we opted for this place! The room rates were much less than anywhere else I could find, I thought it was cheaper maybe because it wasn't as good as the other places but it totally exceeded my expectations! Only thing I can honestly say badly about it is that... More

Dear Steven8725, I'm pleased that you find us to be the best place in town and that everything is to your liking. With the Fish & Chips, we've found that our customers prefer to know where their ingredients are from (the North Sea, freshly caught and delivered to us daily), and our Black Sheep batter is very popular) so that's...

“Great little place”

Reviewed 1 May 2013

I have been to eat at The Honest Lawyer a few times and have never been disappointed. The bar area is actually quite big so you can be sat in a section and not be bothered by anyone and chat away to your hearts content. There is also a TV at the bar. The restaurant is quite spacious also. The... More

Dear catdurham1, Thank you for your review of the hotel. I'm delighted that you enjoy our food, especially the Steak Burger which is very popular.

“Fantastic food, never been disappointed, thoroughly recommend.”

Reviewed 29 April 2013 via mobile

I've never stayed here as I live locally but have eaten here many times and it's absolutely fabulous. We often go on a lunchtime where the menu isn't huge but at least you know it's not microwave food, it's freshly prepared by the hotels chef. The prices are a few pounds more than you may pay for standard lunchtime food... More

“Nicely appointed but small rooms”

Reviewed 28 April 2013

We stayed one night in March for a night out in Durham. The rooms are motel style so we were across the car park from the main building. Room was clean and well appointed, but a little on the small side. It worked for us for the one night, but you probably wouldn't want to stay much longer than that.... More
