A most gracious host
William was a most gracious host and went out of his way to help us when we arrived late, served a wonderful breakfast in the morning, and then transported my daughter and I to the University. Cannot thank him enough

Room Review
The staff were friendly and efficient, couldn't have been better. But the room itself, while wonderfully spacious, could've been heated better, especially the bath area. Taking a shower was a real act of courage.

Lovely and welcoming
Stayed one night as as was dropping off my daughter to uni. The owner, William was absolutely wonderful. So kind, welcoming and helpful. Gave us a great suggestion for where to have dinner and even offered to drive us! The Inn is only about a 10 minute drive to central Durham and is located in a very nice area. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. I will definitely stay there again next time I'm in Durham.

We loved to stay at this place. William, the owner, was very kind and helpful. He even helped us to make our breakfast Vegan when we asked him if it was possible.The room was beautiful and cosy, with a kettle, a microwave, a very comfortable bed and a very clean en-suite bathroom. The breakfast was big and delicious. Excellent communication from the host. Literally 8 minutes by car from Durham town centre.

Lovely B&B - nice helpful owners.
We booked the B&B as we were attending a concert in Sunderland. The owners assisted with transport to and from the stadium which was very helpful and at a good price. They were really helpful. The room was clean and adequate for what we needed. The breakfast was ok - the only criticism would be the salad on the cooked breakfast, as far as I could see most people left it as it was an odd add and it was nice enough without. I think it was a presentation thing for them but unnecessary in my opinion.

Very friendly, helpful and well placed B&B
Absolutely amazing. I booked this for my cousin and out 90 year old Aunt on their visit to Uk and their hometown from the USA. Booking was simple, and i contacted William the owner regarding their room and also some flowers for them upon their arrival. William said it would be his pleasure to provide these free of charge and asked me to email over a card to go with them, which he printed off and put both in their room on arrival. He also offered to pick them both up from the train station when they were travelling there from Liverpool. Once there, he took them to our different family members homes, into Durham, and to a family get together. Honestly he could not have done more. A menu for breakfast was given to fill in the night before and mt Aunt was delighted it said "Aunty Mary on it. Its just those personal touches that made their stay great. Also comfortable room, only thing my aunt says it could do with was a little sitting room for guests to sit in, but thats a minor thing. William and his wife have only had this B&B a few month's, and they are doing a great job. Thank you to them both.

Great B&B!
Visiting Durham with son on university business & so know Durham well. Thus found this B&B ideally located, being about a 30 minute walk from centre. Right next to bus stop if can't manage walk, with frequent buses in/out of town. B&B very tastefully decorated, with homely, charming feel & en suite twin room very comfortable. Cooked breakfasts ample & beautifully prepared by host Martin. Parked on residential road to back of B&B & off main road, no problems finding space. Visited pub next door for quick drink, seemed quiet on night we went in & more of a local pub for locals feeling. Served food but didn't eat there so can't comment. Would happily stay at Moor End B&B again if visiting Durham in future.
