A perfect overnight, affordable stopover for our daughter's graduation. The pub was noisy until about 11.30 but the bed was comfy, rooms were clean and the welcome was typical of the friendly North East!

Great value all round.
Cant fault this place for the price to be honest. Staff wee great and the beer was sensibly priced unlike in town. Good parking and 20 min walk into the city. Will stay again.

Good value pub stay. I got unlucky and ended up in the room above the disco which was very loud. Definitely not a place to stay if you're a light sleeper but otherwise it's a basic good value night stop and it's not far to the bar!

Fantastic place when stopping maybe for a night or two. Ideal walkable location to city centre and all main attractions. Parking on site. Great sized room with a huge walk in shower. No food available due to our check in time which was ok, great information leaflet in room means we got a takeaway delivered and chilled out in our room. Some noise from pub but not more then you'd expect. Definitely stay here again

Lovely pub , rooms very clean ,great staff, the only problem was when we booked this stay it said they served food , when we arrived & asked about this we was told they’d stop serving food a few months ago ,if I’d known this I would have booked somewhere that did this service, also it would have been nice for them to let us no about this change so I could have found somewhere else I think they need to update there site !!!!

Bargain price and cozy setup near lush Durham
I loved it here. Great and hospitable service, especially from Léa, who welcomed me to the bar. Nice little pub and a good location. The room was cozy and comfortable, although I couldn't close the bathroom window, so it was chilly in the morning. Excellent price for solo travellers though.

Disappointed
Room was lovely & warm, however no breakfast and doesn’t have a restaurant so can’t get food at all, needs amending as had we known there was no breakfast included we would have stayed elsewhere.
