Country Houses in Durham

"Amazing hotel in an historic building which is beautifully maintained! It is an architectural treasure. It was built in the 19th century as the City Council Chambers and has fabulous stained glass, tilework and woodwork. The dining room is an architect's dream - originally the council chambers. Our room was so incredible, I could have stayed here for months. Restaurant was delicious and the staff in this hotel were very good. "

"Very clean will go back "

"Comfortable double room with excellent bathroom with shower, although slightly small."

"We stayed one night to see Bruce Springsteen in Sunderland. Didn’t get time to use the hotel facilities as we were running late but what we did see and experience was very good, clean and tidy. Friendly staff, great location, fantastic breakfast. Would definitely stay again and make use of all the facilities they have to offer."

"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"

"Excellent room and staff"

"Beautiful historical property in a fantastic setting - immaculate grounds surrounded by countryside. Right next to Beamish Museum -the best tourist attraction in the North East. We stayed in a Premier Room - well worth the extra expense ( just missing a mini fridge in the room). Already looking for a date to return. "

"Good hotel within easy walking to centre of Durham "

"Had the feel of a country inn. Room was very unique & decorated like an old English inn room. It was clean & comfortable. The staff, check in, bar & restaurant, was great! Had dinner & breakfast in the restaurant & food was very good!"
