    Fantastic view of the cathedral from my room.

    The bathroom had an overly clinical feel.

    I really enjoyed my stay, especially the power shower and the cozy room with a stunning view of the cathedral. Breakfast was fantastic despite a lack of pastries on the second day. I would definitely choose this place again!

    Exceptional hospitality and delightful breakfast options

    I had a wonderful stay with cozy rooms and warm, attentive service from Anna and the team. The breakfast was a real highlight, offering various choices, and my eggs Benedict were perfectly prepared. The location was close enough to the city center for easy exploration, yet the peaceful atmosphere made it feel like a relaxing retreat. One area for improvement would be upgrading the hairdryers, as mine was unreliable.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay. The cozy room offered a peaceful retreat, and our interactions with the staff were delightful. Breakfast exceeded expectations, with flexible options tailored to our preferences. Don't miss the Indian restaurant downstairs. their dishes were captivating! Bring your own toiletries if you prefer extra amenities.

    Incredible hospitality and comfy vibes!

    Wow, what a stay! Anna, the manager, is super friendly and made us feel right at home. Our room had a great view of the cathedral, and the bed was sooo comfy. The Indian restaurant below is a nice touch, even if it’s a bit pricy. Only bummer was the walk back up the hill after exploring Durham.

    Charming guest house, friendly staff, we enjoyed a delightful breakfast with fresh fruit options and had a comfortable room that boasted a flat-screen TV and an electric kettle for our convenience.

    The En Suite Double Room was really nice! Comfy bed and lovely decor. The views over Durham were a nice bonus. A bit of a tight squeeze in certain corners, but overall a good space. Clean and well-kept throughout. I did hear some noise from the hallway, but not enough to bother me much. The temperature was perfect too—definitely cozy!

    Absolutely loved the Cathedral view from my room! Everything was clean and comfortable, breakfast was freshly made. Just a bit of a trek back uphill from town, but it was worth it. 🌟
