Farnley Tower Guesthouse, hotel in Durham

Farnley Tower is situated in an elevated position, providing views over Durham Castle, Cathedral and surrounding countryside.

We didn't know what to expect when we arrived but we couldn't have been happier with our stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff were fabulous, our room was exceptional and the location was perfect! The room was clean and comfortable with amazing views of the city. It even had a microwave and fridge which was wonderful. Breakfast was incredible, couldn't have been better. Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting the area.

    The property was immaculate and tastefully decorated. Even better than the pictures. The host was very friendly and helpful. Everything a guest might need was provided. The property is very clean, quiet and a 5 minute drive from the city centre although there are local shops in the area.

    The property is in a quiet residential area and is close to some super stores. It is easy to get to Durham city center and Newcastle either using a bus or car. The property itself is newly renovated and was very clean and well looked after. Very good free wi-fi throughout the house and the speed was great. The host is just a phone call away in case of any issues, though we didn't need to call Josephine on any issue!

    New house in great location- pubs, take aways, restaurants and mini-supermarkets within 1 minutes walk. 2 minutes walk to bus to Durham (10 min ride) or Newcastle. House was spotless, comfortable and homely. Great host- stayed in contact to make sure we had everything we needed (which we did.) Hope to stay again!
