Came up to stay on my own as daughter graduating uni. Easy to find and was greeted warmly by staff. Sonia, Ian and Dylan were all so friendly and welcoming.
Food was amazing and lots to chose from in the evening. Breakfast was good and you could pick and chose what you wanted. Locals were friendly and chatty. Would Definitely stay again. The guests that I met were all friendly. Highly recommend, not expensive and good location if you don’t want to stay in Durham and explore surrounding area. Will be back!

Nice, friendly pub in an interesting area with plenty to do. No real ale, which is a shame and means we probably wouldn't stay again. Also, a lot of single use plastic and not up to speed with sustainability.

Had a lovely stay, staff friendly and welcoming, rooms clean. Only down side advertised as having a pool table which was the reasoning for booking as travelled with my 12 year old son. Thought it would be something we could do in the evening instead of just being in our room. Picture showed a pool table and in description but was not one and had not been for a few years.

There was a very warm welcome. The owners are down to earth, genuine hard working people. Everything is as it should be. I have never stayed at a place with such a friendly atmosphere. It is clean, the bathroom was lovely beds comfortable, and the home cooked food I had dinner and breakfast were top notch. Can't praise the place too highly. Also great value for money.

This is the third time we have stayed. The pub is in a great location to visit a number of areas especially if you are a walker or cyclist. Its close to Durham by car for anybody who wants to visit the city. The pub is very clean, friendly staff and locals and does great reasonably priced food. Will be staying again.
