  : It is hard to find reasonably priced twin room in Durham. This fitted the bill. It was spotlessly clean. Small room but had everything we needed. Very friendly owners. Good breakfast.

  : The room was a good size, clean and well decorated. It had a TV and coffee making facilities.I liked being in a pub and having a last drink before bed :)The main positive comment I'd have is about the staff. The owner/manager and his family were lovely and went out of their way to help.
  : My room wasn't en suite, but this wasn't much of an inconvenience. It as a separate bathroom across the hall, which was for my sole use. However I did find another guest in there one morning. (I guess a sign on the door might be a good idea so guests don't think it's communal.).Other rooms are en suite I believe.Something to consider when choosing a room if this is important to you.The hotel isn't in the centre. It's about a 25 min walk, but there are buses.

  : Sarah and James are very welcoming. The twin room was tidy and clean. Only one thing, the mattresses are a little lumpy and hard. Maybe could have done with a mattress topper on. The bathroom was clean with fresh clean towels everyday. The breakfast was a selection of cereal, yoghurt and fresh fruit, pastries, toast and a hearty cooked breakfast. You could ask for anything and it would be no trouble at all. Considering they have only just taken over a few weeks previously, the place was great with a relaxed atmosphere and great locals to match. We had somewhere to secure and store our bikes aswell. Lots of cycle routes around the area.We had a peaceful sleep also.
