A fantastic and relaxing stay at the cottage. Daryl could not have been more hospitable with very thoughtful extras (including homemade cheese scones!). A wonderful break in a luxury setting!

Chose the 40 Winks as they had interesting rooms- a real boutique hotel and so much nicer than the standard white box you get. We stayed in the Gala Room which was AMAZING! The bed was so comfy and having a bath in the lovely roll top whilst admiring the views of the Cathedral was a great start to the morning. Staff were lovely and the breakfast was delicious (and filling). Location superb too.

Great accommodation above a bar! The room was quite lovely, with a nice view out of the window and nice decorations inside the room. The welcoming sweets in the room were a nice touch. All amenities in the room was good. I could not ask for a better location. Felt very safe in the area. It is right in the area with restaurants, cafes, and shops. Walking distance from the train station as well. I would certainly stay here again on my next visit.

    Location for us was ideal as we needed a night between Darlington and Durham. Very clean, comfortable bed. Breakfast of toast and cornflakes left in room. I did not like the shared bathroom, although I knew it was going to be shared.
