Continental breakfast was enough for us. The volunteer staff were brilliant. We were able to wander around the inside of the Heritage property even after hours. Beautiful grounds and interesting history. The chapels were wonderful.

The hotel met our expectations completely - it is centrally located (1 minute from the city centre), very clean and additionally, the room for 3 is quite spacious. All that might be required was already in the room (iron, hair dryer, bathroom necessities etc). Further, the beds were comfortable and there was enough space to move around without bumping into each other (even the bathroom was quite big with a bathtub inside as well). As a whole, I would certainly recommend staying there!

Location for us was ideal as we needed a night between Darlington and Durham. Very clean, comfortable bed. Breakfast of toast and cornflakes left in room. I did not like the shared bathroom, although I knew it was going to be shared.

The location was ideal for us as we had friends in Ludworth, and we were going in to Durham too. The bed in the room was very comfy, the shower excellent. Very clean and well presented throughout. Staff were great, breakfast was amazing and included in the price of the room and it was well worth it, will be coming back!
