Our first stay in Durham was superb! Everything was just perfect and the love our springer spaniel Maddie got (including a cooked doggie breakfast!) was amazing! Thank you to Anna and her wonderful team, we will be back!

Beautiful place to stay
This is a lovely place to stay. It was exceptionally clean. We enjoyed our breakfast that was served promptly. The breakfasts provide gluten free food as well as a variety of choices. The hotel has been modernised to a high standard. Our only concern was our double room being the attic there wasn't sufficient height to the ceiling for my husband who is 6ft 4inches. He could walk down the centre of the room and the shower was too low. I think if we had stayed more than the 1 night we would have asked if we could swap rooms. But overall a beautiful place to stay. Just ask about room height if you are taller than my height, 5ft 4in.
