Durham hotellia

Plussat: We had a fabulous stay - beautiful grounds, spacious and comfortable room, gorgeous house, and warm and welcoming owners. Very close to Durham, but a world away in feel making it a very refreshing break from cities. We took the bus back and forth to Durham, which is very easy because the bus stops right outside the property. We couldn't recommend it more highly. I'm sure we'll be back.

Plussat: Fantastic breakfast.staff and owner were so helpfull

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: It’s beautiful, and the staff are lovely. Country house hotel at less than country house cost.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: We stayed in the flat which is self contained but we were still allowed to have the cooked breakfast in the morning with the other guests for a small extra cost. The flat is great for a family. The communal rooms are gorgeous and the breakfast super. Loved playing snooker on the large snooker table and the country walks.

Miinukset: What’s not to like.

Plussat: The house is grounds are simply beautiful and the rooms newly modernised with lovely bathrooms. It is warm and comfortable and the owner and helper gave me a very warm welcome. Breakfast was outstanding including sausages made from the pork from their own pigs, and eggs from their own hens. I would recommend it to everyone.

Plussat: Pauline and Keith always make you very welcome. All the rooms are nice and I absolutely love having fresh milk available in the room rather than UHT capsules. No need to take up luggage space with shower gel, shampoo or conditioner either as top quality ones provided. Breakfast is top notch and we love the home made cookies. Would highly recommend

Miinukset: Absolutely nothing.

Plussat: Friendly helpful staff

Miinukset: Restaurant was expensive for dinner

Plussat: Hotel is very central which is great we were in Durham for the Lumiere festival

Miinukset: The only thing that let the hotel down was the breakfast as it was busy we waited nearly an hour the staff were lovely but it seemed not well organised serving table by table with large waits in between the Durham breakfast was rather small when it eventually arrived the hotel building is stunning inside our room was great with everything you would need

Plussat: breakfast overpriced, weatherspoons better !

Miinukset: car park too small

Plussat: Really nice hotel in a great location for walking to sight etc

Plussat: Close to a shops

Miinukset: Couldn't turn the heating on so hotel felt cold the room clearly only had the bed changed due to finding plastic wrapper off new clothes on the floor hairs in the shower and mucky shoe prints on the laminate.

Plussat: Nice little b/b

Miinukset: The bed was awful. Creaked with any slight movement really uncomfortable (especially being pregnant )

Miinukset: no complaints

Plussat: Lovely room clean and easy to find lots of character good breakfast and genuinely kind owner

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: We stayed at Moor End Guest House for my birthday weekend, having not visited the area before. From the moment we arrived until our departure we felt welcome and very much at home. The personal touches, as well as the breakfasts, were outstanding, and the room was immaculately clean and very comfortable.

Miinukset: Everything was great

Plussat: Martin was extremely friendly and thought of everything in this proper B&B. Very easy to access from the A1 yet quiet; safe parking just around the corner; very regular and quick bus service into Durham from almost outside, even at night. It would be easy enough to walk into the city too. Great choice of freshly cooked breakfast, cereals and spreads - it was great to have crunchy peanut butter and Marmite from jars and not blister packs. A good range of teas, too. Would definitely recommend this place.

Plussat: Large, comfortable ensuite room with fabulous breakfast. The guesthouse is on an easy, fast bus into Durham and situated near a pub that served good food in the evenings

Miinukset: Some traffic noise from road in the day but this became much quieter at night. Wobbly headboard on bed.

Plussat: I appreciated our host driving us to collect our car. He also provided us with good advice. The décor was charming.

Plussat: Staff couldn't do enough for you excellent team, went for a wedding service was lovely and room lovely

Miinukset: Having to go up and down stairs to the bar, price of drinks. Room not ready at 3pm, breakfast ok but overpriced, lack of mobility facilities, house wine was disgusting cheap red vinegar

Plussat: Lovely castle hotel. Beautiful accommodations and amenities.

Miinukset: Only drawback for travelers without a vehicle is location. Need taxi to Chester Le Street to make train connections.

Plussat: Fabulous views.

Miinukset: Lovely place to stay. But not easy to get public transport.

Plussat: It was really nice the hole thing I would highly recommend to anyone

Plussat: Staff atmosphere and decor were fantastic. Loved the stay and great value for money

Plussat: The bed was amazing

Plussat: Well presented bar and restaurant- pleasing, relaxing colour scheme

Miinukset: Bedroom a little tight for a relaxing spacei

Plussat: Rooms were cozy, just far enough away from the town for peace and quiet but close enough where you can walk to all the major sights. Food was excellent and breakfast was decent.

Miinukset: Room was a bit dark. WIFI had a child filter on it which we found a bit odd but nothing major.

Plussat: The service was excellent and staff very friendly. The hotel was comfortable and warm. Location ideal for visiting Durham, only a 10 minute slow walk to the main sights.

Miinukset: Food was mediocre, filled a gap but would not choose to eat there as a non-resident again. Property has character, but the bedroom we stayed in (15) had noise from (presumably) the kitchen vents at meal times, and could do with redecorating.

Plussat: Lovely and warm. Excellent evening meal. Very nice staff.

Miinukset: Bacon at breakfast a bit over cooked. Difficult to cut. Lovely garden area if only it had stopped raining!

Plussat: Lovely atmosphere, great pub, good food, free parking. Nice and quiet location. Small but very cosy rooms wich provide all the basic needs, including free coffee and tea. Our stay at The Kingslodge Inn made our trip to Durham even more enjoyable.

Plussat: Food people and location

Miinukset: Room too warm

Plussat: Mot much!

Miinukset: The breakfast was a disgrace

Plussat: Rauhaisa keidas keskustan välittömässä läheisyydessä.

Plussat: Fantastic location, friendly and helpful staff and a great place to stay.

Plussat: It was near the station and town centre

Miinukset: Breakfast arrangements were poor, menu said eggs on toast but toast wasn’t provided with the meal you had to do it yourself . Couldn’t sleep at night due to excessive noisy plumbing . Room was dirty, lots of dust on furniture which needed updating.

Plussat: Amazing hotel and excellent value for money. Stunning grounds and setting.

Plussat: Large comfortable rooms,great breakfast choice and friendly helpful breakfast staff especially Micheal

Miinukset: Dont want to complain about hotel as we enjoy it here,so just minor issues like not recieving our racing paper ordered the night before due to a mix up,and toiletries and tea,coffee and biscuits for one despite the twin occupancy.

Plussat: Very nice indeed

Miinukset: No gym

Plussat: Everything ! If I tried to look for a fault I wouldn't find a single one . A fabulous hotel in a stunning ,peaceful location. It's the warmest , comfortable hotel I have stayed in . The service in all areas is first class , happy friendly staff work hard and nothing is too much trouble to any of them. They all went out of their way to ensure I had a pleasant stay.........the fresh food is on another level , wonderful

Miinukset: Coming home

Miinukset: Standard and size of room was very poor. Would never stay there again.

Plussat: Breakfast was excellent, location amazing

Miinukset: Breakfast at other hotels is included

Plussat: great location.

Miinukset: rooms feel a bit tired.

Plussat: The room was a good size and comfortable. The spa was good and breakfast nice

Miinukset: Having to pay for parking, having to pay for WiFi (i didn't) Ordered a glass of wine recommended on the two course menu to find upon paying that it was just under £13! The TV in the room didn't work but i understand there was a problem in the area.

Plussat: Very close to

Miinukset: Adding breakfast vouchers but not saying they were non refundable if you decided not to take breakfast.

Plussat: Very clean friendly staff

Miinukset: A chess of draws for clothing would be nice

Plussat: We have to say that we were there for an event and the reception team were fantastic when we arrived late on a Saturday, offering food and drinks plus arranged for us to park overnight /day and breakfast in our room as we had an initial early start. Great venue, fantastic team of people - happy and smiling and made us feel most welcome - good old northern hospitality see you next year! Thank you!

Miinukset: there was nothing not to like for us.

Plussat: Rooms clean and very comfortable. Convenient venue

Plussat: The location and the friendly staff.

Miinukset: Too much furniture including two large televisions in our room.

Plussat: Very clean and good standard, really good facilities.

Miinukset: Normal tea facilities would have been nice in the room.

Plussat: Spa and customer services

Miinukset: I had expected the standard of food to be better. Also i found the spa was almost fully booked despite calling to book prior to arrival. Also the treatments i was able to book were limited due to staff not being fully trained. That said i was able to book an Express facial (30mins) and foot massage (30mins) which were excellent.

Plussat: Breakfast here was lovely and was delivered to the room

Plussat: Ease of location to room.

Miinukset: Staff were a little miserable, and clearly didn't look as though they enjoyed their role at all, which made me feel uncomfortable. I had to wait quite a while for my tea to arrive, and sadly the food was average, which was disappointing as everything else about my stay was excellent, including my beauty treatments at the Spa, where the staff were warm and welcoming.

Plussat: Fusion restaurant Spa The room

Plussat: The hotel is beautiful and impeccably clean and the spa facilities are amazing.

Miinukset: The walls are a bit thin so you can hear your neighbours moving about.

Plussat: Good location, friendly staff, great food (both dinner and breakfast).

Plussat: Comfortable room, decent location and friendly staff.

Miinukset: No plates, cups, glasses or cutlery at breakfast. There was a large wedding party which may be why but staff did their best and were friendly. In my opinion there should have been more staff helping at breakfast.

Plussat: Friendly staff.

Miinukset: Attic bedroom - couldn't stand up on one side of the bed. Bedroom too hot - bathroom too cold! Breakfast - average!

Plussat: excellent breakfast. comfortable bed

Miinukset: very small double room.difficult to move around. very small shower cubicle

Miinukset: Authentic 16C country house with many original features. Very comfortable, spacious hotel close to Durham. Very friendly and happy staff.

Plussat: It was a nice hotel, mainly set up for weddings, with on the weekend only a few individual guests, so very quiet, very good food though, the staff were very good, very helpful

Miinukset: The hotel was very quiet, no one in the bar, only myself and my wife in the restaurant, so very poor atmosphere

Plussat: Breakfast was good, had dinner twice which was excellent. Like the friendliness of the staff.

Miinukset: Poor lighting. Very difficult to read in the bedroom. Due to small size of the room, lacked furniture. Kettle and phone were on the floor. Light bulb not working in the shower area of the bathroom. Heated towel rail not working. DIY toaster in the breakfast room only toasts one side, bread has to be put through twice. Reception not always manned, with the receptionist carrying out other duties away from the reception desk.

Plussat: Food was delicious, staff friendly and helpful, comfortable bed.

Miinukset: Slow service at breakfast, noisy floorboards, echoey in hallway easy to hear other guests coming and going

Plussat: Gorgeous place, with a bathroom to die for

Plussat: Manager and staff very helpful

Miinukset: First breakfast cold. On telling lady In Attendance. She stopped serving from the servery and Brought hot food direct from the kitchen. I should have brought it to her attention Earlier instead of eating it . Top marks to her.

Plussat: The chalet was superb and very comfortable

Plussat: The staff were brilliant

Miinukset: We ordered an executive room and expected a Bath in the room etc as per images on your website. Room 15. There was a wedding and we got the last stock room that was far below the images given. It was our anniversary and a real let down. The room was really cold. Water leak stains on curtain. The restaurant was cold. One of our meals was inedible. (T bone steak), it was taken off the bill, but was still on my invoice on checkout. Breakfast was In a freezing room and the food was hot I’m sure in the buffet but when placed on freezing cold plates instantly cold. The wonderful waitress did offer to have fresh food from the kitchen. I have to express that the staff of this hotel are a credit. The stock is not.

Plussat: The staff were incredibly polite and helpful.

Miinukset: The room we were given was not the same as the photos advertised for what we thought we were booking.

Plussat: The room was a good size and super comfy bed. The breakfast was good and the chap serving breakfast was great, friendly and efficient and the food was very good.

Miinukset: There was a funny smell in the reception hallway; the bath took forever to run as though there was insufficient hot water in the tank; the noise from above was akin to chairs scraping and being stacked (I appreciate you can't control this), however the biggest disappointment for me was around the actual hotel location - on the pictures it looks like a stately home - it transpires to be an old hall surrounded by a new build housing estate and therefore if your expectation which the photos seem to indicate are walks etc, this isn't the case.

Plussat: Lovely little hidden gem, gorgeous lodges. Very spacious inside and absolutely loved the bath.

Miinukset: WiFi didn’t work in the lodge, water temperature was a little cold.

Plussat: Location, atmosphere, food and staff were excellent. View from lodge exceptional and hot tub lovely.

Miinukset: Lodge slightly tired. Tear in bedsheets and rug/ carpet tired and grubby.

Plussat: Comfortable clean room excellent location. Staff were willing to help orovide information on places to eat etc

Miinukset: Check out would prefer till 12 especially on a weekend

Plussat: Ideal location for exploring the city. Room was comfortable and generally quite clean.

Miinukset: Bathroom décor could do with a refresh. Some of the chair upholstery could do with cleaning there were some questionable stains - this did not adversely affect our stay as we were only staying one night and it was just a bed for the night, but if it was a romantic weekend away, this would have been a bit off-putting.

Plussat: The hot tub was excellent and we were provided with gowns and slippers.

Miinukset: Maybe have snacks available or a room service menu.

Miinukset: There were a few obvious stain marks/ water marks on some of the old pieces of furniture, could do with re-covering, it did not spoil our stay but these little details are very noticeable as is the fact that the en-suite door is warped and cracked possibly from moisture or water damage

Plussat: Hot tub added bonus

Plussat: Perfect location, beautifully appointed rooms, extremely comfy beds and had a great night sleep. Great Italian restaurant downstairs with very attentive staff and tasty food. Will definitely recommend staying here.

Miinukset: Wifi did not work. Advertised as Bed and Breakfast but there was no mention of breakfast when checking in. Also hosts weren't available in the morning.

Plussat: We were made very welcome and allowed to leave our luggage in advance of staying. The room was charming and spotless.The location is quiet and a little away from the centre of town.

Plussat: restaurant next to the room had a great Italian food selection . it is the only place with acceptable price in Durham when we tried to book .

Miinukset: it is located in a empty outside neighbourhood; room is not clean every day (it is fair), but neither toilet not beds. There was a cockroach in the toilet.

Plussat: The main meals were good.

Miinukset: For a B&B breakfast was not included. The bathroom was fitted with a saniflow which was very noisy and the shower cubicle was not as clean as expected the shower head was dirty and there was black mould around the tiles and unit.

Plussat: Great location. Lovely decorated rooms which were very clean and comfortable. Although we didn’t eat there as we had other plans the food looked and smelled amazing!

Plussat: Great for access to Durham ctr

Miinukset: Price Room only and car park about £160

Plussat: We stayed in Durham for my daughter's commencement at Durham University. The location, room, facilities and staff were great. Comfortable lobby and bar. Our room was large and comfortable with all the amenities. Being within walking distance of the city and university was a plus. Just a short taxi to the train station from the hotel.

Miinukset: Prices for rooms were very expensive for the week of graduation commencement, twice and three times the normal rate of other hotels and B & B's normal rate in the city. I felt that they take advantage of the occasion. If I had booked early I would have stayed in less expensive lodging.

Plussat: Large spacious room with good work station, tea facilities and comfy chair. Lots of options for breakfast including a buffet and menu card. Nice swimming pool and sauna/jacuzzi facilities.

Miinukset: Coffee isn’t great

Plussat: In a great location near the station and an easy walk into town. Nice pool and spa. Altogether a comfortable stay at a better-than-most chain.

Plussat: Everything, breakfast was excellent loads to choose from well worth it

Miinukset: Couldn't say didn't like anything was excellent, close to city centre

Plussat: Nice clean hotel, nice size room, great view over the river.

Miinukset: We needed to check in early to get ready for a wedding. We arrived at 12.30 but were not able to check in and directed tot eh health spa which was not great.

Plussat: Fantastic location beside the river, and lovely comfortable room. Staff very helpful too.

Miinukset: The bar area is a little disappointing as it has no real atmosphere or windows....especially when there’s currently a great view at the front.

Plussat: The room was fabulous and the reception area very welcoming. Would definitely stay again but just miss breakfast.

Miinukset: The breakfast was chaotic, not enough hot tureens and not enough food at busy times. Long wait.

Miinukset: Sijainnista. Vaihdoin toiseksi yöksi hotelliin, jonka sijainti oli parempi.

Plussat: Great location, well appointed rooms.

Plussat: Cleanloness- v. good. Room V. quiet, as requested.

Miinukset: The room was a little cold early evening, and there seemed to be no way of controlling temperature.

Plussat: The room was great for my needs. The bed was small if sharing but overall the room was great and spacious. The room had everything I needed. Went over to the restaurant for food in the evening, the food was really nice. I wouldn't hesitate to go back here again.

Plussat: Friendly, helpful staff. Nice decor in rooms. Clean and comfortable. Bus stops right outside, so I was able to visit Durham without the worry of finding somewhere to park. No complaints or issues at all. Nice place.

Plussat: Very comfy bed and pillows. The bath was great and plenty of hot water. Room was set up very well. Great value for money. Plus you can bring dogs st an extra charge. Big bonus free wifi for my work

Miinukset: The room was extremely hot. Only a big window which you couldn't leave open at night for safety of being on the ground floor.
