Top Rainton Meadows Visitor Centre Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Washington by IHG

10/10 Excellent

Radisson BLU Hotel Durham

10/10 Excellent

"Parking was safe and secure, staff were incredibly helpful and the hotel was really good, clean and close to local amenities"

Ramside Hall Hotel, Golf and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"For what must be an older hotel, the amenities are excellent, modern and well kept, swimming pool is massive with a jacuzzi hot tub, didn’t use the spa but looks amazing, bedroom was lovely, a nice size overlooking the garden area, nice and quiet, didn’t use golf course but ‘The Pin’ is a great place to visit ( in hotel grounds) sports bar, bowling, driving range, shuttle board and lots more, friendly helpful staff, will definitely be back!"

Hotel Bannatyne Durham

10/10 Excellent

"Good hotel, premium room was worth it. Easy parking and good bus services into town."

The Lambton Worm

10/10 Excellent

"I was only booked in for one night. Young man who booked me in was very friendly and assisted me with taking my suitcases up stairs as unfortunately there is no lift. The stairs are rather narrow. The room was very spacious, clean and the bed was comfortable. Food from restaurant was good and fairly reasonable. Unfortunately I didn’t get breakfast which is included as I had an early train to catch."

61 Durham

10/10 Excellent

"Room was spacious. Carpet stained and windows showing wear and tear but overall fine for one night stay given the price which was good value. More toiletries in bathroom would have been welcomed as only one soap dispenser for sink and shower area supplied. Bathroom was spacious and plenty of fluffy towels. The evening meal was tasty, well priced and delicious Choice for breakfast was fine.Set in nice garden area. Good bar area as well. Excellent service from all staff."

Host & Stay | Garden Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"Top notch rental!"

OYO La Spada Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"We arrived early and were graciously welcomed to check in before our scheduled timed. Easy & personal check in, Uber-accessible to city center (5-7 minutes) quiet, and safe location. Very nice and accommodating local business."

Durham, 3 bedroom Cottage in village location near Durham city, pet friendly

8/10 Good

"We had a lovely stay at the cottage, which was well equipped with everything we needed.Our overall impression was very positive. The attention to detail and decorative touches made the cottage feel warm and homely. The downstairs rooms are spacious, and the layout good.The location is great. It's situated with cities, retail parks, and major attractions all within a short drive, while still being in a town surrounded by fields and public footpaths—ideal for dog walking.There were just a few minor drawbacks. Although mentioned in the listing, the lack of an enclosed outdoor space meant having to get dressed to take our dog out early each morning, which wasn't ideal when on holiday! The cottage is also located on a busy road, and many drivers ignored the 30mph speed limit & traffic noise could be loud. We stayed during a warm spell & had the windows open during the day, but needed to close them at night to avoid being disturbed. As 2 of the 3 bedrooms are at the front, they became warm overnight as a result.Our only other niggle was with the bathrooms. While it's good to have the option of a bath, the only shower is in the smaller bathroom. Adding a shower over the bath in the main bathroom would be a relatively inexpensive improvement. Even with just 3 of us staying, there was a queue for the shower each morning.Overall though, these are fairly minor points and don't detract from what was a very enjoyable stay."
