The best compliment I can give is that we will be back again. What really stood out apart from the comfy rooms and fantastic breakfast was how helpful and willing the staff were to rectify any concerns or issues.

Old country pub. Facilities poor. Unfortunately the noise of a live singer and pub patrons until very late kept my wife awake. Good breakfast and staff were pleasant.

Arranged to pay on arrival which was more expensive to book since i booked a room for a colleague and we wanted to pay for own rooms, the hotel took payment prior to arrival and it has been a nightmare getting this straight. This is 6 rooms above a pub not a hotel, strict checkout at 11am and must leave premises at that time no reception or front desk. The room was dated, had no desk and the shower had several steps to enter which are dangerous when the floor is wet. We were charged £160 per room which i would say is £100 too much. The fact they take payment before you've seen the room indicates they know they are overcharging for what is on offer.

Top room with sloping roof and low beams was very comfortable, if you know how to avoid walking into them. Great bed, spotlessly clean. Worth knowing dinner service on sunday finishes at 6pm.

I had a lovely stay, the room was cosy and comfortable, and all staff I spoke to was very nice, down to earth, helpful and accomodating. Breakfast was really well cooked and tasty. The only feedback I have is that it was quite dusty on the floor between the bed and wall, and on the top of the headboard. The electric shower was as electric showers are; functional but not super efficient. I'll stress though that I did really enjoy my stay and would definitely stay again.

We stopped here on our way to and from a funeral.We were greeted warmly by the customers and by Claire,who apparently running The Avenue on a temporary basis.She looked after us from the moment we arrived to the moment we left.The food was excellent and good value for money.The rooms were clean and comfortable,though possibly need a bit of updating.We would stay again as it was one of. the friendliest pubs we have ever stayed in.Thanks to the clientele and especially Claire,ten out of ten.

Staff were friendly and welcoming - breakfast needed a few more options than just cooked and the muffin wasn't great. Having said that everything else was good and comfortable so no real complaints.

Warm welcome from very friendly staff. Lots of outdoor seating. Bedroom small but very comfortable, especially the bed. Very warm due to heatwave, but staff lent me a very effective fan. Near to Durham and you can catch a bus right outside.

My mum and best friend stayed at The Avenue, nice size room, very clean, tidy and well presented. Fantastic breakfast the next morning. They couldnt do enough for them. Even made them both a cup of tea whilst they say outside in the lovely area out the back. Will and have recommened The Avenue to friends. They are also organising events in the evening that myself and friends would like to go to....i live locally. Looking forward to visiting !! And i would like to say a big thankyou for looking after my mum !!

The food is first class and cannot be faulted. We were pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was in the rooms, even though the pub itself was extremely busy. The staff were extremely helpful and I wouldnt hesitate to recommend it to others.

The Avenue Inn is a restored public house with outstanding food and great service. Because it was a public house, some of the spaces are cramped and have low ceilings. But the Village of High Shircliffe, is close to Durham making it easy to access the city.

I loved staying here, but it was not close to the city center. If you come, be prepared to take bus into Durham ( a pleasant experience, by the way).. But if you are looking for a quiet room and yet lively dining room experience, this really fits the bill.Seems to be a local favorite,always a good sign of good food and quality service. Staff was very accommodating--a plus.

The Avenue is in a small village just outside of Durham. The room was clean and comfortable, the staff were friendly and efficient and both the evening meals and breakfasts were very good.
