    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!

    Loved my stay here! The room was super bright with a stunning city view, and the shower pressure was top-notch. Just wish there was a little fridge for real milk, but breakfast was delightful overall! 😊

    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.

    Charming Stay with Wonderful Hosts

    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.

    comfy bed
    lovely decor
    nice views
    tight squeeze
    some noise

    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!

    cathedral view
    freshly made breakfast
    uphill walk
    dated decor

    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. 🌟
