Combine the best of city living with the relaxed atmosphere of the countryside at this cosy, gem-of-an-inn in Durham. Surrounded by the peaceful woodland of Flass Vale, it’s hard to believe The Kingslodge Inn is just a ten-minute stroll from the heart of historic Durham with its UNESCO World Heritage Site of Durham Cathedral and adjoining Castle. Voted the best venue in County Durham in the National Pub & Bar Awards in 2019 and named by The Times as one of the '20 best places to stay in the UK with a dog’, The Kingslodge Inn has all the benefits of a city-centre location but with a laid-back, relaxed vibe.

I have stayed here twice now and found the staff to be welcoming and helpful, the atmosphere friendly and relaxed and the food excellent- especially the breakfasts. Would recommend and will come back again for work and leisure.

Excellent location close to the city. Friendly staff and good service. Food at breakfast and in bar really good. Breakfast sets up for day. Linen changed daily and room clean. Room hot on arrival but just turned down radiator valve to personal temperature choice. Slept really well!

We were in Durham to watch our granddaughter in a school production at the Gala theatre. The inn was very nice, the staff friendly, the food was very good and varied. We enjoyed the breakfast very much, nice choices. Would stay here again when visiting family.

We have stayed here before and found it convenient for the town centre and it has a car park. However, this time we were disappointed. The room decor was very drab and the room badly lit. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful but one person was particularly unhelpful and surly which gave us a bad impression. Breakfast was plentiful and freshly cooked, although on one morning some items were running out. The cleaning of the dining room needs attention as there were crumbs on tables and the floor which remained there for two days. We were surprised that the bar closed at 11pm even for residents.

Staff were very good - helpful and friendly. Room disappointing as we stayed 3 nights and our room did not have enough space for us and our cases etc. Few of the rooms are bigger, but a lot of space was taken up with a short corridor. Friends staying only 1 night next door, had a slightly bigger room but the space was much better organised. Meals were ok but we did not get the vegetables promised on the menu, but did not discover this until we were leaving. Breakfast very good though.

We wanted somewhere close to the city centre but in a quiet area and that’s exactly what we got. A relaxing break in a city that we love. We’d booked a meal elsewhere in advance and another time we’d like to eat at the inn’s restaurant. Thank you to the staff at Kingslodge for being so helpful and welcoming.
