I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The rooms offered a wonderful view and were equipped with both a bath and shower, although it was a bit dark in the bathroom. The service was top-notch, from the attentive breakfast server to the helpful manager. The location was pleasant and quiet, despite being on top of a hill. The dining experience was mixed, with fantastic homemade preserves but subpar sausage. Overall, a good value for the money.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with a great view over Durham. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the wide variety of choices made it a pleasant experience. However, accessing the location up a steep hill was a bit challenging. The service was exceptional, from the lady who served breakfast to the manager who ensured we made it to the university on time. The dining experience with a lovely view over the city was exceptional, with fantastic homemade preserves. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything I needed for a relaxing stay.

The hotel offers breathtaking views of the castle from the rooms, overlooking the beautiful grounds. The service was top-notch, from the attentive breakfast service to the manager who ensured our timely arrival at the university. However, there was a lack of response to my request during check-out. The location is peaceful, just outside the bustling Durham center, easily accessible by a short taxi ride or a pleasant 20-minute walk. The dining experience provided stunning views of Durham and delightful homemade preserves. The facilities were exceptional, especially in the former attic area.

The hotel offers stunning views of the beautiful surrounding countryside and features a comfy bed. However, it is a bit challenging to enjoy a drink at the bar without committing to a full meal at the adjoining restaurant. The location is peaceful yet within reach of the Durham center.
