“A Fine Stay”

The room is a bit small and crowded, but very clean, which is extremely important to me. I expected a somewhat higher quality breakfast than I got. The location is great! Overall, I would recommend staying there.

“Find place to stay”

We were visiting Durham University. It was a great location and a great hotel.

Area recommendations
This was a great central location.
Getting around
This is a walk everywhere kind of town. Bring good walking shoes as many of the streets are cobblestone and it is hilly
Family-friendly activities
You have to visit the Cathedral and the Castle
