It’s a beautiful building

Booked for our second wedding anniversary, and was not disappointed. It’s a beautiful building with excellent rooms, very comfortable and great decor. The bar is amazing with great choices. Huge choice for breakfast, but can thoroughly recommend the Durham Breakfast. Staff were wonderful throughout

A memorable stay

Spent our 50th wedding anniversary there 4th until 8th November with 17 of our friends and family. The staff were most helpful and made provision for a private dinner for us in what was a Council committee room. A memorable stay everything ran smoothly especial thanks to Jane Napper the finance manager
