Lovely stay at Durham House

We had a lovely stay here in a twin room. The room was rather small with a small bathroom but it was very clean and comfortable. The hosts were fantastic and provided great choices for breakfast and were extra helpful with a parking permit. Extra thought had gone in to guests needs, such as fresh milk in a fridge in the room. We would definitely recommend a stay here to anyone. Thanks.

Great B&B in an excellent location.

This is a great place to stay. Nette and Col made us so welcome. The room was excellent and had everything we needed. I loved the HUGE bath towels. Breakfast was excellent with some really good and unusual choices. Nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely stay again. Thankyou again to Nette and Col

Best hosts ever! We look forward to returning :)

We had a simply perfect 2 night stay. The lovely hosts just went above and beyond and were so accommodating and welcoming! The hotel is very clean, comfortable and safe. Plus in a perfect location. Breakfast was brilliant - especially as vegetarians; we've never been so spoilt for choice at a Bed & Breakfast!! We can't wait to go back :) (Best wishes for your first summer!! Laura & Peter x)

Room was as bright as daylight all night with totally inadequate white cotton curtain covering a window with a streetlight shining in and another window onto the internal hall with a light on all night. Mattress very soft and only suitable for one person as the lightest person has to cling onto the edge or roll into the bowl made by the heaviest! Shower was a dribble. Breakfast was good and staff were friendly.
