Long weekend. Premium Double Room B&B. Excellent!
Really lovely, large room in a fabulous building. So glad so many original features have survived. Huge comfy bed, great walk in shower. A very welcoming room.
Great location. Far enough out of town to be quiet late evening, but close enough for a short walk into town. Cathedral/market square about 10-15 minutes. Has a fabulous room for dining ehich becomes Marco Piere White for dinner. Good. Equally impressive Rotunda bar for drinks pre-dinner perhaps or a nice cocktail. (Really good Espresso Martini!). Lovely helpful staff from desk to housekeeping. Would definitely look to stay here again when visiting Durham.

Attractive historic building with quiet rooms. Coffee pod machine was welcome and breakfast had some great options including overnight oats and California eggs. Helpful staff too.
Lovely hotel. Very clean, comfortable, friendly staff. Very good location to easily walk into Durham City centre. The main dining room is amazing - the old council chambers! Very historic and fascinating, and a decent price too.
Amazing building. Used to be the town hall for Durham County Council and was called Shire Hall. It has many period features.
The hotel staff where very friendly and breakfast is in the old council chamber. Breakfast is cheaper if you book on check in.
