The building itself is beautiful. Comfortable and clean bedroom and bathroom. Lovely relaxing bar and dining areas. Very pleasant staff throughout our stay with good customer service. We would have rated excellent until I observed cobwebs on the light shade/wire just above a dining table. This was in easy reach and should have been dusted.

Hotel is very nice and in a very convenient location for Durham town centre. Room was adequate although we found a few problems with it. Bed was very high and hard, there a few lamps that did not work, one being the desk lamp and the another in the bathroom.
