We always stay here and it’s usually very good, however this time we had a lot of road noise from the traffic.

Kind staff on reception. Helpful. Visited under difficult circumstances and they made us feel welcome and understood.

I stayed here for work and while I had a comfortable stay the place could do with updating.

Bit miffed that we paid nearly £100 for one night and a week later they're offering same room for half the price. Breakfast expensive at £12.50. It was ok but won't go again.

Easy check in friendly staff. Room clean tea and coffee making facilities. Good shower. Only downside was what seemed to be a small bed. Would recommend.

We had not realised that this is more of an American style motel where your hotel room opens out directly outside where your car is. This is unlike other places we’ve stayed where you have to trek down long corridors, up the stairs, more corridors etc. This is especially valuable if you have a lot of luggage and bags with you because you open your car boot and you walk straight into your room. The room itself is quite basic but has what we needed. The shower in the bathroom was brilliant, excellent water pressure and consistent perfect water temperature, I didn’t want to get out! The waitress in the restaurant at breakfast, Zoe, was very hard working and friendly. Would definitely stay here again if we were coming to the area again.

The staff were all friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was first class

Positive first, staff were very friendly and helpful Bad points - Room had a strong smell of cigarettes, nothing could get rid of it, it was even in the bedding(possibly from the bed). Carpet was filthy. Very dated and in need of refurb. Decided not to stay the second night and drove home

The staff were very polite and accommodating. The rooms could do with updating and the bathroom/bath was not up to standards. The hot tap leaked on the bath and the shower head let more water out the back of the hose and also ran down the bath and onto the floor which could turn into another problem. But we would go back and they really looked after my husband when he had to come up for me.

The staff worked hard but the property looked a little tired.

Friendly staff, comfortable bed, nice pub

Pleasant staff good food nice location

Very convenient location both for driving and also bus stop outside to get to/from Durham. Beautiful location for local walks (deer outside the window on two mornings). Comfortable beds, good showers and good value for money. Was a shame the bar shuts early, but otherwise good. Didn’t eat there so can’t comment on food, but friendly staff.

It was very easy to get Park and Ride into Durham from hotel. We liked being able to park our car right outside our room. Especially appreciated the excellently prepared food by the kitchen for dinner and breakfast. Staff very friendly, relaxed and helpful. Would definitely recommend for visitors to Durham.

ALL staff were polite and helpful ,from the house staff ,reception to the night porter ,the were responsive and not slow and grumpy. thought the rooms were great and the view to the fields where you could watch the wild deer roaming , first time where nothing upset me at all . it is due for a revamp next year (2025) looks grim from the road as the colour of building was not so great but really surprised at the excellent service from all members . one thing i would change is larger coffee cups at breakfast
