First visit to the hotel in mid January 2012 whilst visiting Durham on business. The hotel is in a quiet location, close to the A1 and a 10 minute drive to the centre of Durham. Comfortable room, friendly staff, good dinner and breakfast. More

Stayed here for a weekend away after Christmas. We have stayed here before with this time being totally perfect! Don't believe the negative reports on here, it's all to easy to write a negative report! This hotel is a true haven!
