This is our second stay here this year, our first stay was ok, didn’t have food in restaurant as we were out with family in the city. However this time we opted for breakfast on Saturday morning, there was no prices on the menu for food or the cost of breakfast, website also doesn’t display prices. Only prices on display was for the coffee. We opted for 2 bacon rolls, 1 with a hash brown & 2 coffees, lady came to us informed us we had to pay separately as wasn’t included in the room cost of £150 for the 2 nights. £25 for 2 bacon baps & 2 coffees seemed a little high in my opinion. However on the Saturday evening after a long day in the sunshine they did supply us with 2 plates for a takeaway we had ordered as the restaurant was due to close within 15 minutes of our return. Would likely return again due to proximity of family.

Liked the fact the rooms were in a square outside the main building. Staff in check in and out very friendly The only negative was the noise from people coming back to their room at 3am . They were loud ang woke us up. Not the fault of the hotel. Good place to stay and dog friendly

Terrible
Only stayed for an overnight trip room was ok smelt a bit doggy, bed creaked every time you moved, fire alarms went off eithin 10 mins of arriving apparently they are very sensitive or someone might have been vaping in a non smoking room so not a good start, was totally p**sed of when alarm again went of 7:00 again on the sunday morning, at this point we got up and left for my 6 hr journey home. An absolute joke of a place, would not recommend if you fancy a good relaxing nights sleep.

Good value.
Useful stop over for a night. A little basic and dated. The bathroom is definitely in need of a refit and reminded me of why I hate shower curtains and showers over narrow baths. Pub is good for food. And breakfast was ok. Certainly better than a Travelodge. Parking is outside of your room.

Staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. We were very late to arrive to check-in, just after 11pm. And the website said check-in time was between 3pm & 11pm. There was no issue with this, though I did call them during the day to say we will be late arriving. Also, we had to leave our car in the car park after we checked-out the next morning, to attend the graduation ceremony, until later in the day. It was not an issue at all for them. Super accommodating & helpful. We would stay there again.

Policy inconsistency
The bed was comfortable but a bit soft for my liking. First night I put a drink on a tab, then a few hours later added food and another drink. Settled up at end of evening. Next day, I was told that I could not run a tab for my early evening drink and had to put that on my credit card and later had to put a separate amount for food and drink. The policy should be consistent.

Durham uni trip
Took my daughter to see Durham uni, stayed here the night before, arrived fairly late, but staff very friendly on arrival, room had seen better days and struggled with TV, but beds were comfy, stayed in a room motel style as car parked directly outside. Breakfast was delicious, again service was fab, waitresses really pleasant and helpful. Bus went directly to the Uni which was an added bonus as we left car at hotel
