Very nice 2 night stay. we were both very happy with the price we paid considering we were staying in a castle!!
Nice clean room. dinner was very good, along with general service from staff.
Room was a bit overheated, but i usually find that at most hotels.... ( Note : 18/20 - le 16/03/2009 - Activehotels )

A very enjoyable 4 night stay.
We were in one of the premier rooms which was very roomy and found everything excellent with a wonderful view over the deer park, and generally very peaceful.
In this particular room, when the shower or bath had been used in our room and others, the refilling of the water tank was very loud. if it did happen late at night it would be difficult to get to sleep.... ( Note : 20/20 - le 28/03/2009 - Activehotels )

Kamers ok op een aantal kleine zaken na ( oa geen bekers/glazen in de badkmaer ) zwembad en andere faciliteiten zeer goed.... ( Note : 17/20 - le 16/04/2009 - Activehotels )

Good for what we needed, just a room for the night and a quick arrival and getaway on to the motorway.
Bed was comfy. food was ok. shower delightful, once i got it right. staff generally friendly, although busy.close to a1.
Television bad picture. not sky as advertised. food was ok but not valur for money.local facilities seemed non existant with out driving in to durham.... ( Note : 16/20 - le 11/02/2009 - Activehotels )

Excellent place to explore durham from and very friendly staff at the hotel
Excellent facilities at the hotel great to have the leicure club included in the price... ( Note : 19/20 - le 21/04/2009 - Activehotels )

We loved the hotel and the proximity to the town was quite good but we would have preferred to eat our evening meal in the hotel.
Very spacious room and bathroom... ( Note : 18/20 - le 22/04/2008 - Activehotels )

Good overall
City centre location with off street parking, close to durham record office, special cheap easter offer, nice en suite room, no disturbance from other guests, good facilities, fridge in room, breakfast buffet and hot dishes good, pleasant staff.
Bed very uncomfortable, restaurant tables too close together so no privacy for conversation, dinners adequate but unexciting and prepared well in advance - sometimes dry and tasteless,... ( Note : 18/20 - le 12/04/2009 - Activehotels )

Really enjoyed it and would use again rather than the motel chains.
The hotel is in an old building and, as such, one should expect quirks and not perfection. the floors are slightly uneven and creak a little, the rooms are all very different and there are lots of stairs and no lifts. the hall and stair carpets are in need of replacement but i understand this will happen soon. the reception area was being refurbished during our stay and should be bright and welcoming...

It was the nearest we could find for an early start the next day. it sufficed and even though the beds were not the best, we slept. car park treacherous in the ice - completely untreated.
Welcoming host. very friendly.
Decor - shal i just say "life on mars" food - evening meal good and plenty of it! beakfast a bit iffy.... ( Note : 10/20 - le 08/12/2008 - Activehotels )
