Cleanliness of room and friendliness of staff. Meals were good.

Only one chair in room . No cereals available for breakfast.

The bedroom, bathroom were very clean, excellent food. I loved the old-type wardrobes and in the dining room lovely oldy artifacts. Greg and his staff were superb nothing was any trouble.

LEAVING. My only moan... Perhaps an earlier breakfast would have been a bonus. 0900 was too late by the time we had finished the morning was over. However, I would certainly stay again.

Lovely rooms 👏 large rooms comfortable beds, staff where excellent 👍

Excellent value for money & very friendly staff

Only comment would be the shower pressure

Warm welcome, friendly staff, excellent food and service.

The price was really good Big room comfy bed and great food

Excellent hotel

Meals are excellent and good value.

- Clean and spacious room (suitable for three people) - Lovely bathroom - Excellent price and proximity to Durham (ideal if you're attending a graduation) - Very helpful staff - Enjoyed the breakfasts - Free on-site parking (a bonus!)

N/A - Wish I'd found this sooner for previous short stays to Durham.

Stuart and staff were efficient, professional and very helpful. Good size room, good shower, excellent value and a great evening meal!

Needed a little dusting above the pelmet area and the internet was shocking! Breakfast starts at 9.0am?? That’s more like brunch for working people.

The staff were so attentive and friendly, food was really good and the location perfect for a visit to Beamish Museum. was a perfect 1st night to our Road Trip.

We stopped for 2 nights as we were going to the stone valley north festival. The staff were friendly, food was great and was fantastic value for money. We will stop here again.

Lovely room with new upgraded bathroom. Great having pub downstairs and good food

Breakfast isn’t served until 9am . However there is an option for continental to be collected but I forgot to ask.

Great room, great food, great staff, great location 👍

Nothing

accommodating staff, nice clean room and bathroom

really noisy front door, room a bit too cold, curtains let too much light in, hot breakfast needs to be earlier to accommodate customers who need to be in work/places by 9am

The food was very good both evening meal and breakfast, great choice and good value. Super friendly staff, very welcoming.

Nothing

OK to go to if you don't have any food allergies and don't mind being on a main road

Haven't got much idea about gluten free food so had to travel in to Durham to eat which I didn't really want to do but felt i had no choice as manager said there may be cross contamination if its in the air 🤣 as its a busy kitchen he also brought me a coffee at breakfast with a biscuit on the side containing gluten I did have breakfast but all I could have was beans tomato mushrooms egg bacon no toast cereal fruit or juice and was only 1 slice of bacon 😅 so left hungry but my husband had the huge breakfast and was stuffed which has gluten in

Great value, good breakfast and meals at night very reasonable costs. Staff were very polite and friendly Room was large and ensuite bathroom with good toiletries Bed was large and very comfortable. Room was clean Parking is great Fantastic value Highly recommended

Shower could have more pressure

Room was clean and tidy. Staff were excellent, very nice, very friendly and very helpful. Food was brilliant, well done to all the chefs and staff. Bus stop almost outside the door to Newcastle or Durham should you wanted to use it. We would stay at the Red Lion again.

We had a room above the main door which had a faulty door closer and it was banging continuously during main opening hours. This needs fixing. The upper windows are not double glassed and we found the road very noisy during peak hours. A bath mat would be a good safety feature.

All good

All good

This is the best accommodation we have found in all of Durham So easy to find just off the main road into the city We stayed 2 nights Bed Breakfast and evening meal The food was fantastic for the price and what was provided was of a 5 star standard and plenty of it The room was very clean with everything provided for our stay ie spar water tea coffee biscuits toiletries etc We had our own key to let ourselves into the building as we planned to stay out late The staff are so professional friendly and helpful and honestly cannot do enough for you We felt so relaxed after a comfortable nights sleep it's such a traditional country pub we loved the character inside and out and will definitely be staying there again in the future

Nothing it's fabulous
