We stayed before and had a fairly basic room on the first floor which was enough for our needs. This time we were allocated a room in the roof which frankly is not fit for purpose and is a health and safety hazard. The good bits: A nice seating area with TV The very bad bits: The ceiling is sloping and is an assault course of beams that cross the roof space. My 6 foot 3 husband had to stoop for most of the stay - the only clear run across the room is where the ceiling meets the apex of the roof and that is barred by a full size wardrobe, necessitating him to stoop to get past. The bed is shoehorned into an unsuitable space and even my 5 foot 4 frame struggled because the space on the left side of the bed is about 6 inches to the wall and the roof slopes above it. I had to shimmy sideways and lean back at the same time to get in. I cracked my head on the ceiling making a drink at the tea making station which is not quite in front of a dormer window. The bathroom is OK but tired with cracked tiles and poor siliconing. This room needs a health warning and anybody who books it needs to be warned about it. It reeks of trying to fit a room into a space that is not suitable. Coupled with our shocking experience in the restaurant we won't be coming back.…

We recently stayed here for a few days and had a truly wonderful experience. The Avenue is in an ideal location, in a beautiful village setting with easy access and good transport links into Durham City Centre. The rooms were so comfortable and cosy. We slept so well. My husband and I loved the little touches such as the soft towels, mattress toppers, toiletries, books and throws and tea and coffee making facilities. It was very peaceful and tranquil. The breakfast was also amazing with generous portions and served quickly, absolutely delicious! We were so well looked after by the owners and staff alike and felt so happy and at home that we were really sorry to leave. We definitely want to come back and would highly recommend staying here.

My friend and I arrived at 6.30pm as we had to locate the restaurant. We ordered drinks which were delivered to us. My friend ordered a starter and it was brought to the table before the rest of the group arrived between 7 and 7.15pm. Main orders were taken by the solitary waiter Service was slow which surprised me as only two nore people were seated in the large room.

The warmest of welcomes from Karan, Peter, Amy and the lovely blonde Cypriot lady whose name we didn’t know. Our bedroom (1) was spacious with the most comfortable king sized bed imaginable. The bedding was of excellent quality also. We really appreciated having real glasses in our bedroom and proper mugs. The food portion sizes were extremely generous and the range of drinks from the bar was ideal.

I checked in on line as requested was sent a code to use key safe, on arrival we did as instructed to find no key, had to ring numbers mentioned on email, someone came shortly after, we got to our room which was up 3 flights of stairs, room 6 is classed as a deluxe double it wasnt deluxe but would have been bearable had it not been for the beams which made it extremely awkward to navigate the bed and other areas of the room, when asked staff where really helpful and let us choose another room as the were not full, we had one evening meal at the property which was edible, the first morning breakfast service was fine the next 2 were a bit hit and miss, to summerize the Avenue as a pub is ok, as accomodation its not so great, the cleanliness of rooms needs addressing the bed linen and towels were clean, and the place could do with some redecoration, the staff are really lovely and I think people find it hard to say negative things about the place because of the staff, place is fab for getting into Durham as bus stops outside and takes 10 mins to get there, would I return, sadly no, the reviews I read were missleading.…

Booked a table for 2pm via open table. The website says food served daily until 9pm but when we turned up we were told the kitchen closes at 2 so we couldn't be served. This is a nice local pub but they really need to sort out their communications, website and booking system.
