Our first stay in Durham was superb! Everything was just perfect and the love our springer spaniel Maddie got (including a cooked doggie breakfast!) was amazing! Thank you to Anna and her wonderful team, we will be back!

Very nice stay. Room was lovely with great views. Short walking distance to Durham bars and restaurants. Breakfast was good and staff very friendly. Only issues we had and it’s really nitpicking but the car park and walk up to the reception was pitch black when we arrived and couldn’t see where we were walking. Also there was some work being done to the property as we were leaving and the loading vehicle blocked the exit so we had to wait 10 minutes. Like I say though, that’s being very picky. Lush place.
