The room was lovely and overlooked the gardens. I was upgraded to a double room and so was pleased to have the extra space and larger bed.
The breakfast was lovely and much enjoyed. There is a lovely lounge which we were able to sit in during the evenings away from the bar and have a few nightcaps

Durham could definitely be one of those towns that appear in fairy tales and stories of kings and knights. Lying on a hilled peninsula formed by the Wear River, the striking cathedral overlooks from the hilltop, surrounded by the castle, palaces and historic buildings. Get transported back in time by the magic of this English jewel, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Though archaeological evidence suggests the area has been inhabited since 2000 BC, the present-day settlement was founded by monks from Lindisfarne in 995, choosing the area as the final resting place of Saint Cuthbert. Symeon of Durham stated once that ‘to see Durham is to see the English Zion, and by doing so one may save oneself a trip to Jerusalem’. Hotels and B&Bs in Durham’s historic centre are a popular choice to enjoy this historic legacy.
Its powerful religious position granted such great honour to the city, that the bishop still holds the rights to a seat in the House of Lords, and to accompany the sovereign at the coronation. During the 19th century and encompassing the industrial revolution, the university was founded, with Durham Castle becoming its first college.
Whether you’re searching for a cottage, a modern hotel, or a cheap hostel, Booking.com offers a wide range of accommodation in the area.

Durham is a great city with lots of great places to eat.
Durham is a great city with lots of great places to eat. The Beamish museum is a short car journey away and is a great family day out. The cathedral and castle are an amazing visit to Durham's past. Expect to do a lot of walking, and most of it uphill. Durham like most historic city's has beautiful cobbled streets so good comfortable shoes are recommended.

Durham offers something for everyone.
Durham offers something for everyone. Even more for those who wish to explore the historic castle and Cathedral and surrounding streets. The city offers a comprehensive range of food and restaurants. It is accessible by road and rail.
If you find steep streets challenging there are still plenty of places to pause and browse or rest and eat or drink.
It is a beautiful city to visit.

A lot of pubs where the students go were scruffy and uninviting ( ripped furniture etc). Loved the areas around the cathedral, castle, town square and the river. Tour of castle was limited to 4 areas due to students living in the castle which we were not informed about when we purchased tickets. Thought it was a total waste of time going.
Some nice places to eat such as the Spice Lounge just off the square,Turkish kitchen near the cathedral and the Boat Club near the river.

I loved Durham. I did a tour of the Cathedral and Castle.
I loved Durham. I did a tour of the Cathedral and Castle. I felt very safe being on my own and people I did speak to were very chatty.
It was very peaceful walking along the river.
There did seem to be an awful lot of Church's,
I attended the Easter Service at the Cathedral, it was lovely. The choir had 30 children and 11 adults in it. The volunteers were very good.
I would like to come again soon.
I stayed at the Kingslodge Inn, and ate there and at an Indian Restaurant Alishan. The food was delicious.

4th Photo is view from the B&B
The staff were excellent, and couldn't do more for us, nothing was too much trouble.
The room was very nicely decorated with a comfortable bed and a great shower.
The hotel is very close to Durham City Centre, with it only being a 10-minute drive.
The on-site restaurant has some delicious food available with our personal recommendations being the garlic mushrooms, mince on mash, lasagne, lamb koftas.and Chinese chicken sizzlers.
The breakfast was also very nice and filling
The hotel had the basic amenities. Everything was clean and well maintained.
Please note that I was here for longer than the average stay ( I was there for 14 or so days)
I cannot praise the staff highly enough. I had a couple of personal crises with family members and the staff helped me to navigate the situations very competently and professionally.
Aside from that, the staff were always receptive, helpful and attentive to any needs I had.
All rooms are different design and character. I liked it. Convenient location. A lot of public footpaths. 8 minutes drive to Durham University. Breakfast was lovely and so the dinner. It’s busy over weekends, therefore advisable to book in advance. Staff is friendly. A big bonus that it’s dog friendly hotel. I will be coming only here to visit my son in the uni.
Check in is quick and easy.
The staff were all professional, courteuos and helpful
The rooms are a good size and the beds are very comfortable.
We'd definitely stay here again
The rooms were a fair price when the other hotels in Durham were ripping people off because it was graduation week at the university
Location was perfect for access to Durham University Open Day, could either walk 20-30mins or catch frequent public bus service from right outside the hotel. Easy stroll down to the river and beautiful countryside on doorstep. Breakfast was sufficient for the price.
Very nice little hotel. I was in Durham for my daughter's graduation and this hotel was a block away from her accommodations. Breakfast was fantastic, room was exactly as described, and staff was super friendly. Would definitely stay again.
Quiet location close to the main road network (so easy to get to Durham., coast, etc.) with facilities that meant we could be comfy there when the weather was bad, make up picnics, and even cook an evening meal easily.
Warm welcome from staff and comprehensive introduction to the hotel.
Well appointed room with all essential facilities.
Generous provision of tea/coffee and sweetmeats.
Location close to city centre.
A good-cooked breakfast was included with the booking, and the avocado toast was freshly made.
The room was clean and modern.
The hotel is in a historic building including stained glass windows.
