May 24, 2011Beautiful panoramic view of Durham from a height. Easy walking distance to the city centre.
Please sort out the power shower valve in Room 2 - it's tooooo strong - so strong the water pressure opens the shower door, so you have to hold the shower head in your hand to save on drowning!

March 21, 2011Lovely big room and bathroom. Windows that open. Very charming breakfast room and good English Breakfast. Very easy walk down into town centre and back. Our bags were taken to our room too.
Too hot! You could save a lot by turning the heating down. Did not get to try out the Gourmet Spot, maybe next time.

March 26, 2011Despite being a small hotel there was no friendly atmosphere. When checking out we were not asked whether we enjoyed our stay. There was also a surcharge for credit card payment which I was unaware of.
Free wi fi
Bed not confortable and creaked every time one of us turned over. Not a recipe for a good night sleep.
