Best curtains ever! Lovely service and breakfast.
The service was immaculate, from the friendly welcome to the swift taxi at checkout. The room was well appointed. and the whole hotel was pleasant. The pool and facilities were lovely. What we noticed most of all was how restful it was, the staff were really quiet, we couldn't hear the children in the next room, but above all the curtains were incredibly effective: completely dark; this is a first for me in a hotel! We got upgraded to a river view for free, but it's probably work what you'd pay. Also, totally epic breakfast!

Disappointed
We have stayed several times before and this is the first time we have found the room to be dirty especially the bathroom which had hair left in the bath. I did tell reception and they gave us some drinks but it was a disappointment. The rooms are tired but due to be refurbished in the new year

Lovely stay
Lovely stay waking distance to Durham centre. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Plastic water bottle in room when would have preferred glass. Parking reasonable and ev charging for those they need it. Not 90 min charging time then £10 penalty. Pool a bit cold for me but good for most. Hot tub, steam room and sauna. All good.

Absolutely Brilliant
I had a really bad experience with another hotel so booked into here instead. The ladies on check in were amazing and so kind. When I told them what had happened to me they upgraded my room to a suite, I cant thank them enough. The room was amazing and so comfortable, all the staff were really helpful and friendly. The bar and restaurant were great as was the food they served. I have a lot of work around Durham area and will be using this hotel from now one.
