Pleasant stay
Stephen, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

We stayed he for 4 nights possibly on the hittest days of the year, no fan was offered and was unbearably hot for sleeping, sheets of towels were not changed even thiugh i left the note on the door handle to do so. Theres no fridge so had no way if keeping drink cold. The rooms are not very big, and having the window open you could hear the tv and talking in joining rooms. One bonus is the buses pass by into Durham and further afield and run frequently and late.

I've stayed a few times recently while working in the area. Accommodation is fairly basic, but comfortable beds, clean, warm and a great little restaurant onsite with nice food. Ideal for a few days stop.

Pleasant staff good food nice location
Derek, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Our arrival felt unwelcome when we checked in. Our room smelled a bit damp and was generally quite dirty. Lots of cobwebs, the bathroom was especially dirty with lots of mould around the window and bath. I would not recommend going bare foot either. We had breakfast, which was okay but not good value for money. The location for Durham is good, but that's about it.
