The room was very clean and comfortable, but my towel had a small brown stain on it. Two of the staff were very unfriendly, when we arrived she just gave us our key without a smile and we had to ask twice before we discovered that the room was a little chalet in the car park. There is a nice view of a peaceful field and trees from the window and generally it was okay.

Excellent choice of accommodation for a stay in and around Durham. My son and I were there to visit the university and it was a short bus journey into the city. Similarly a short bus journey from the train or bus station to the property. Very friendly and helpful staff, especially John, who gave me directions over the phone a few days before we got there. Lovely clean room (in a motel style), beautiful comfortable beds and excellent shower. TV, tea and coffee making facilities. Can park right outside room if you came by car. Lovely bar area, and beautiful breakfast options. The fully cooked breakfast was excellent. All the staff were so lovely and welcoming, particularly John who welcomed us when we arrived. Would thoroughly recommend.

This hotel needs to invest in new/decent pillows. For many people pillows make or break a good night’s sleep. The ones in our room were totally flat/worn out - we asked for some additional ones but were told none were available as the hotel was fully booked. Seems very strange that a hotel with this many rooms would not carry extra bedding/a few reserves. Just not good enough really. And such a shame as it did cost us a good night’s sleep. Otherwise - bed itself was comfortable enough. Cleanliness just about alright - but really filthy roller blind in room (complete with squished flies) needs to be replaced. Breakfast just about ok but a little lacking in options given the price. Overall advice - if a decent pillow is important to you, bring your own if you can.
