+ Lovely spot and very welcoming staff. We received an upgrade and the room was very clean and comfortable.
− Room was lovely. Breakfast was fine but not spectacular. For a four star hotel, we’d expect to be offered tea or coffee rather than making it ourselves and would also expect to be offered toast with breakfast. Maybe understaffed on a Monday morning but….

+ A delightful place and good value for money. Being slightly outside Durham city means you would need a car. Good breakfast. Possibly not great for those with mobility problems as quite a few stairs and steps. No lift as far as I could see.
