I booked a room at The Town House months ago for a surprise for my Husband on our 10th wedding anniversary. The room was pricey at £176 but I had seen some fabulous photos on facebook and I thought it would be worth the price. A couple of weeks ago I contacted the lady at the reception desk and asked if I could upgrade because I had seen better rooms with breakfast added at cheaper prices on their facebook page. The receptionist was very helpful but pointed out that as I had booked through hotels . Com there was nothing I could do but kindly said that if any of the luxury rooms were still available on the 24th August they would upgrade and make it special for our anniversary. We also booked Sunday lunch at the town house. We arrived at the hotel yesterday and was shown our hotel room. It was very disappointing. The room was small and quite frankly grotty . The ceiling was water damaged with plaster and paint missing and it was all very worn . When we went downstairs the guy on the desk asked if everything was ok with the room . I said I was very disappointed as the room was far below the standard we were expecting and nothing had been arranged to make our room special for our anniversary as promised. The guy at the reception apologised and told us that the hotel has changed hands . He also told us there wasn’t a chef now so there were no Sunday lunches. This was the first time we had been informed about this. Later on our shower leaked into the room below.

We were amazed by our stay at OYO townhouse. We stayed in Le Jardin room and know Durham well. It surpassed all expectations with a truly gorgeous room with a beautiful that was also very private. The hot tub was super and lit up lovely in the evening/night. The service was exceptional and we were well looked after by a range of people. The hotel bar was really lovely too and we enjoyed this before and after meals. We were lucky enough to get engaged on our stay here and it made the whole trip even more memorable. Nothing to fault from the whole experience!

Disappointed!
Myself and husband thought we would book in for our 12th anniversary when we arrived we didn’t get a warm welcome it was dull and miserable we got showed to our room when we arrived inside the room it was cold the room was dark and dull only one window was to be open if needed as the other one had a sticker on it saying it need’s replacing then to find loads off small hairs in side the bath tub as we was just about to take a shower it was disgusting definitely hasn’t been cleaned properly when checking out in the morning there was no one on the desk we waited for 15 minutes! We left the room key on the counter as we had to dash of I wouldn’t be in a rush to return to this hotel definitely not worth the money it’s such a shame this hotel has gone right down the hill it used to be beautiful and clean since new owner have taken it over it’s definitely not the same we didn’t enjoy our stay we was very disappointed!

From my very first contact with the Town House I was impressed by the friendliness of the staff. Nothing was too much trouble. The room itself was beautifully furnished -if a little dark and I would have welcomed a reading light as the 'interior design lamps' gave little light Would certainly go again the next time I visit Durham

Very central, lovely room with patio door onto a small terrace and nice views. The only negative was the overwhelming scent of air- freshener. We only stayed one night and didn’t have breakfast (not included) so can’t comment on food or service. Would have been good to have a coffee maker as indicated in the information.
