Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, with comfortable rooms and friendly service. The location was a good balance between being close to the city center and offering some peace and quiet. The dining experience had room for improvement, but overall, it was a decent value for money.
The hotel is nestled in a quiet residential area just outside Durham, offering a peaceful retreat while still being conveniently close to the city center. The rooms provide lovely views over the garden and valley, ensuring a cozy and warmer stay. The dining experience, though self-service, impresses with fresh and good-quality options. However, adding hot food choices like eggs and sausages could enhance the overall dining experience. Pet amenities are available to cater to furry companions.
The hotel offers modern and very clean rooms with a terrace and a garden with sunchairs outside. However, the lack of WiFi password provided at check-in or in the room was a downside. The room was a bit warmer than expected but nicely furnished.
