Room was lovely with good amenities, although there was a loud noise, possibly coming from the air con, but it's an old building so we expected it to be a bit querky. Staff were friendly and helpful The building itself has been restored tastefully with lots of original details. A really nice place to stay within easy walking distance to the centre of Durham
