Did the trick

Did the job for the reasonable price tag, bed was clean and comfortable and Durham centre a nice walk away from the property. We would consider staying again if on a budget.

Very good for its price.

Spacious room, easy access, helpful staff. Obviously no frills and basic accommodation, but well worth it for the price. Excellent soundproofing from the bar (less so from the corridor).

Relentlous music

The room was pleasant but being in a pub meant that the music droned on until 11.30 and the door was continually slamming and vibrating the room.

Great value stay at the very-friendly Queen's Head

Very friendly bar staff who showed a genuine interest in those visiting the Queen's Head, including recommending local places to dine - good to chat with ... All were first class, although I really only got to know Leah (the "face of the place" early to mid-week). Good selection of beers and spirits ... Inch's cider on tap. The 'Sports Bar' is well laid out - plenty tables/seats; televisions showing sporting events; pool table; dart board, etc. The outdoor beer garden is a great resource. The bedrooms with the shared bathroom are very basic - but excellent value for money. I had a great stay at the Queen's Head and hope to return soon.
