I liked the unique ambience, the stunning views from the windows (I stayed at the attic floor), the friendliness of the staff and the amazing Indian restaurant at the same building. The manager even approached me to say they missed me at breakfast! It was a very unique and memorable experience and I will definitely return in my next visits to Durham.

Everything about our stay from arriving early and being checked straight in, the room we were in was in the original part if the building it had so much charm, temperature in the room was perfect, bed was comfortable, room was immaculate. Would highly recommend staying here, breakfast the next morning is probably the best we've ever had in a hotel.

WE loved our visit to Durham, it is a very compact city to spend time wandering through. The history of the city is intriguing and the cathedral is most impressive. The shrine of St Cuthbert is a most peaceful spot to spend time contemplating and to visit it was the objective of our visit, so we were not disappointed. We organised a walking tour of the city with a local guide which was very worthwhile and entertaining. We could certainly have stayed a bit longer. We enjoyed a very special evening at Crush wine bar where Daniel helped us choose a flight of wine and we shared grazing platters to help the whole lot down. We also spent an evening at a performance by Durham Dramatic Society at the City Theatre, which was most diverting.

We were there to attend an event at The Witham and to catch up with friends. We ate at The Old Well, which was OK. Lunch at a cafe near the Buttermarket which was lovely with good food and coffee. Barnard Castle is very familiar to us, so enjoy shopping there, but as we usually stay with friends, not much experience of eating out. Love the shop Niche in town and the shops are very accessible and some good, individual shops as opposed to the usual chain stores.

We stayed in Stanley due to the proximity to the Beamish open air museum just a short drive away. The bluebell inn, just a short walk from the Ball Alley, is a restruant within a pub, not a pub serving food. The food had a turkish theme and was wonderful. I will return if in the area again.

The Auckland Project and Bishops Palace was excellent and exceeded our expectations! Surprised and impressed by how fascinating it was to look around the Palace and the Faith Museum which is located in one wing. The volunteers are marvellous, so knowledgeable, interesting and enthusiastic! Spent a very worthwhile three and a half hours there and would definitely recommend.

We were visiting family in Sunderland and mostly ate there.

We were visiting family in Sunderland and mostly ate there. We ate once - and would definitely go again - at The Half Moon pub which is about 5 minutes drive from the hotel. A very wide menu; plenty of food; lovely staff and warm and comfortable. There are a very few other venues but there is far more in Seaham itself or, of course, Sunderland. There is a lovely cafe called the North cafe on the coast just outside Seaham which is gorgeous though they need to fix the loo door locks! (We did tell them). The roads around Peterlee are new, wide and modern and it is easy to get around. Peterlee is essentially a village and we did not expect to make it our place for more than an overnight accommodation (or in our case 4 nights of a family visit). We are not a young couple and can only comment from the viewpoint of seasoned travellers in our mid-70s!
