Breakfast was really well cooked and tasty. The only feedback I have is that it was quite dusty on the floor between the bed and wall, and on the top of the headboard. The electric shower was as electric showers are; functional but not super efficient. I'll stress though that I did really enjoy my stay and would definitely stay again. ##### Verified traveler Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dianne Feb 8, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities All the staff were super friendly and helpful from Caitlin behind the bar, Chef and Lisa who served us breakfast. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/519bd9c5-6a6a-4d67-94b8-7266d4d7210e-1770555505530.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/985a552d-2d96-483a-9809-33d128e7ff15-1770555505185.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Dianne Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2026 ### 8/10 Good #### Margaret Ruth Nov 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Friendly staff great breakfast ![Unless you’re shorter than 5 ft 4 mind your head!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/00b51e5f-2c4d-41c8-86e9-6e1ad605020b-1762119707569.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/532d9f81-ecfe-4bfb-a745-9bc6f7a9c358-1762119708796.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Margaret Ruth Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Catherine Aug 6, 2025 Liked: Staff & service had a lovely couple of days staying here the staff was brilliant clare and the team was so helpful full of information and was very welcoming ##### Catherine Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveler Nov 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely pub, close to Durham city centre for a visit. ##### Verified traveler Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margaret Jun 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Spot on great place great staff ##### Margaret Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Liza Jan 12, 2026 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities First night in UK, came back to room. Slipped on ice immediately in front of hotel. No salt. Limited light. Sprained both wrists, numb palms and fingertips. Also hurt knee and shoulder. Settled into room, nobody at front desk. Was there for an hour and all power went out approx. 10:30 pm. Power did not come back on AT ALL first evening. NEXT MORNING -NO POWER. Tried to cancel my stay for second night and phone number provided was not in service. Walked out and booked another location in Durham. Brutal. ##### Liza Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - [Lodging](?equalTargetTab=tab-0) - [Flights](?equalTargetTab=tab-1) - [Packages](?equalTargetTab=tab-2) - [Cars](?equalTargetTab=tab-3) - [Vacation Rentals](?equalTargetTab=tab-4) - [Things to Do](?equalTargetTab=tab-5) - [The Three Horseshoes](https://www.expedia.com/Durham-Hotels-The-Three-Horseshoes.h32518119.Hotel-Information) - [Super 8 by Wyndham Durham](https://www.expedia.com/Durham-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Durham.h3921016.Hotel-Information) - [Warlands-Farm Guest-House](https://www.expedia.com/Durham-Hotels-Warlands-Farm-Guest-House.h92474747.Hotel-Information) - [Oyo La Spada Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Durham-Hotels-OYO-La-Spada-Boutique-Hotel.h4581354.Hotel-Information) - [Hotel Bannatyne Durham](https://www.expedia.com/Durham-Hotels-Hotel-Bannatyne-Durham.h1770049.Hotel-Information) - [40 Winks](https://www.expedia.com/Durham-Hotels-40-Winks.h110341408.Hotel-Information) - [Travelodge Durham](https://www.expedia.com/Durham-Hotels-Travelodge-Durham.h914689.Hotel-Information) - [Ramside Hall Hotel, Golf and Spa](https://www.expedia.com/Durham-Hotels-Ramside-Hall-Hotel.h450423.Hotel-Information) - [61 Durham](https://www.expedia.com/Durham-Hotels-Hallgarth-The-Manor-House.h11899363.Hotel-Information) - [Popup Durham](https://www.expedia.com/Durham-Hotels-Popup-Durham.h36063832.Hotel-Information) - [Castle View Guest House](https://www.expedia.com/Durham-Hotels-Castle-View-Guest-House.h20001167.Hotel-Information) - [The Queens Head](https://www.expedia.com/Durham-Hotels-The-Queens-Head.h24109728.Hotel-Information) - [The Garden House Inn](https://www.expedia.com/Durham-Hotels-The-Garden-House-Inn.h10517654.Hotel-Information) - [Oyo The Townhouse](https://www.expedia.com/Durham-Hotels-OYO-The-Townhouse.h16626468.Hotel-Information) - [Premier Inn Durham City Centre - Walkergate](https://www.expedia.com/Durham-Hotels-Premier-Inn-Durham-City-Centre-Walkergate.h11785699.Hotel-Information) - [Durham University, Hatfield College - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.com/Durham-Hotels-Durham-University.h30551419.Hotel-Information) - [Premier Inn Durham East](https://www.expedia.com/Durham-Hotels-Premier-Inn-Durham-East.h11785698.Hotel-Information) - [Burnhopeside Hall](https://www.expedia.com/Durham-Hotels-Burnhopeside-Hall.h10481895.Hotel-Information) - [Bowburn Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Durham-Hotels-Bowburn-Hall-Hotel.h6232959.Hotel-Information) - [Hamsteels Hall](https://www.expedia.com/Durham-Hotels-Hamsteels-Hall.h6668320.Hotel-Information) - [Flights to Durham](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Durham.d6046199.Flight-Destinations) - [Durham Vacations](https://www.expedia.com/Durham.d6046199.Destination-Travel-Guides) - [Car rentals near Durham](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Durham.d6046199.Car-Rental-Destinations) - [Durham Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Durham.d6046199.Vacation-Rental-Destinations) - [Things to do in Durham](https://www.expedia.com/Things-To-Do-In-Durham.d6046199.Travel-Guide-Activities)
