We stopped by Durham today as part of a University Open Day visit and took some time to also explore the town.

As well as the cathedral which commends a great spot over the river there is also the castle, botanical gardens as well as lots of old parts of the beautiful town to explore.

Honest Lawyer Hotel

Honest Lawyer Hotel

8/10 Good

"Ideal location for visiting Durham etc & good Internet. Rooms outside a little tired but superb bathroom with lovely hot water and good lighting especially good for ladies applying makeup. Bed comfortable and bedding lovely. Room very clean. Staff were good at conversing with customers. Although only stayed one night would have no hesitation in booking again and would book direct."

The Kingslodge Inn - The Inn Collection Group

The Kingslodge Inn - The Inn Collection Group

8/10 Good

"Good location for walking into Durham city. Good carpark on site. Room clean but very hot even without radiator on. Could possibly be noisey in high season as our room over main entrance and smoking area. Staff friendly and attentive. Food adequate. Seemed very pet friendly, ideal for guests with dogs. Website said there is a safe located in the bedrooms, there was no safe in our room. "

4/10 Poor

"Room was tiny (booked a superior double) and not overly clean (dust all headboard and bathroom needed a more thorough clean!) Walls are paper thin and could hear everything from next door (daughters got woken by their next door neighbours returning back at 1:30am) Very short staffed so long wait times. Food was mixed- steak was v v oily but beef pie was lovely (veg and potatoes cold though) Breakfast wasn’t great, rock hard poached and fried eggs, microwaved defrosted ciabatta (not toasted) and supermarket bought waffles. Bit disappointing really, probably won’t stay again"

Hardwick Hall Hotel

Hardwick Hall Hotel

6/10 Okay

"If you’re disabled or just an older guest beware the rooms have not been reviewed by an appropriate person. I found the bathroom a death trap. No grab rails in the shower but the worst was the slippery floor in the toilet with nothing to grab onto when struggling to arise from the toilet. My husband had to help me but not before on making an attempt my feet slipped and I finished up with a nasty fall and a now painful back. At 2am I had to ring reception I was frozen- the radiator didn’t work and I couldn’t sleep the duvet was Summer weight, I had my coat on the bed and wearing tights and cardigan. Eventually I decided to contact reception or go home. The young man sorted my problem and brought me a portable heater and mended the radiator. He was very pleasant. The phone of course didn’t work I had to use my mobile. Otherwise the room had a lovely view and was large and I’d love to return . The staff were very helpful and pleasant, I feel it fair to warn other future guests. "
