Fantastic service and breakfast. Very large rooms, and good location although steep walk into town. Bed was a little soft for us. Shower curtain is a bit dated- would prefer a screen

Lovely old building full of character in a fabulous setting.Could do with a little tlc. Staff were excellent and Anna was fabulous. Was so welcoming and friendly and such a hard worker. The place was very clean and tidy. The bedroom was very large and had everything laid out for us when we got there. The on-site Indian restaurant was a real bonus. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

Lovely people, flawless hospitality, great food. My friend who slept on the floor said her bed was uncomfortable, but that is a small thing in a lovely visit. Would absolutely return.

6/10 Good

Tv reception wasn't very good with minimal channels. Fire doors in corridors need soft close hinges on them. Constant slamming of door 5 foot from my headboard kept me from sleeping.

Great Value for Money
This was our Anniversary weekend, and a Friend recommended Farnley Tower to us. We weren't disappointed. We actually got an upgrade and had an amazing view of the Cathedral.

Lovely welcoming guesthouse
This guest house is a little gem. . In a quiet area of Durham, just a 10 minute walk to the centre but be warned it is uphill on the walk back! We stayed two night in Room 3 which was very spacious and ground floor. Beds so comfortable and room very clean. Great choice for breakfast and nobody will leave hungry . Anna the manager gives 💯 % nothing is too much trouble for her . We will definitely stay again when we return to Durham.

Although at the top of a very steep hill this is an excellent property. Breakfast is beyond expectation. We were lucky to have a ground floor room. No view but very comfortable. An exceeding amount of tea,coffee etc. All in all very recommendable

10/10 Exceptional

Everything was good. The hotel was nice and clean, room was nice and had the amenities you would expect for the price paid. Breakfast was also very good. A 10 to 15 minute walk got you to the river (all downhill) then a little further uphill if you are aiming for the cathedral. Overall very nice and would stay here again.

Lovely overnight stay
Lovely overnight stay. Very welcoming. Check-in and check-out were straightforward, the bed was very comfortable, the breakfast choice was great and my cooked meal was lovely. The only thing I'd recommend is replacing the hair-dryers, the one in my room kept cutting out and took awhile to cool down before I could briefly try to use again. Other than that I feel the hotel went the extra mile and looked after me very well, couldn't be nicer.
