Excellent breakfast & comfy bed but not clean
Room was true to it's name - the cosy room. No wardrobe although hangers are suspended from a bar for you to hang clothes. No iron & ironboard provided, no tissue box. The bed was very comfy so I had a good sleep. Breakfast was excellent, everything tasted so good. The grounds & interior of the hotel are stunning. The only real downside was the sub-par cleanliness in my room - cobwebs on inside of window, TV remote covered in dust, dust filling the bottom edge of the mirror, hole in hand towel.

A good nights sleep in a really nice hotel.
Our one night stay at 61 Durham was very nice. The hotel is located about 10 minutes drive from Durham city centre in very nice grounds on the edge of Pittington Village. Parking was free and only a few steps from the main entrance. We were allocated room 218 on the second floor, an attic room with a sloping ceiling overlooking the lawned rear garden. The room was clean and comfortable with a small but nice bathroom and a decent shower with really good water pressure. Our bed was soft and comfortable and the room was quiet so we had a good nights sleep. Breakfast in the orangery dining room was very good and the staff both at reception and generally throughout our stay were very friendly and attentive. A really good option if you're visiting Durham and want somewhere close but without the noise and bustle of the city.

Majority of staff seemed to be new and were still in the training progress so things took a little longer than expected but all very nice and I'm sure they will be great once trained up. Nice hotel.

Staff were all pleasant and helpful and the public areas of the hotel were comfortable and welcoming. My room was clean, quiet and the bed was large and very comfortable. My only niggles were the lack of small items such as tissues and cotton wool pads. Also, as with so many hotel rooms, there wasn’t a mirror with decent lighting for applying makeup. I take my own illuminating mirror with me on my travels because this is almost always the case.

Could be a beautiful boutique hotel. It’s a little tired . Front door ( first impression) was rotted away in places and needed replacing. Great bathroom in the Sanctuary Suite just wish the bath was in it and not in the bedroom- that’s just down to taste- not my cup of tea 🛁. 2 out of the 3 lamps in our room weren’t working. A bottle of water in the room would have been nice but not offered. Hotel condition overall requires more attention to detail. Staff were great- service was very efficient, helpful and friendly. Good restaurant although a little disappointed that last food order was at 8pm as I was visiting my mother in hospital and didn’t get back in time. Cooked breakfast was good but not much left on the buffet table- no pastries left, managed to get the last of the orange juice and just a spoonful of fruit salad left to go with my Greek yogurt.

Nice but lacking sound insulation
The hotel is beautiful and quiet. The rooms are well decorated. Unfortunately you really can hear everything that goes on in adjoining rooms. Our room was not cleaned during nor the bed made when we stayed which felt a bit sub optimal. The breakfast was very nice. I enjoyed being able to go for a run in the morning straight from the hotel.

First visit
First time staying here, but would definitely stay again. I chose 61 due to the good reviews on Hotels.com. Wonderful quiet location. The staff are so friendly, helpful and polite. I ate in the restaurant, slow roasted beef. Good sized portion and well cooked. Reasonably priced too. The room, 202, was just right for someone travelling alone. The WiFi connection and quality was easy and an acceptable speed The bathroom was clean and tidy. The toilet has a soft close lid so no lids crashing down if you forget to close it when you get up at stupid or clock for a wee. The matteress was very comfortable, some hotels skimp on a decent matteress. 61 spent well on the quality of the mattress. The pillows were ok too. A couple of small disappointments were the hot water tap provided very cold water, though the shower was very warm? The room was a bit cold, however, I can understand the hotel being prudent with their heating costs. Would I stay again? YES
