“Very convenient hotel next to the motorway and a convenient base to explore Durham. There's a roadchef rest stop and plenty of parking next to the hotel and a fuel station with convenience store nearby. The staff was efficient and our check in was fast. Our room was clean and quiet. Internet is ok for checking email and updating social media but inadequate for video streaming. The street lighting and directional signage to the hotel needs to be improved as we missed the turn at night and had to make a big detour to make it back to the hotel. We also experienced a fire alarm which lasted 10-15 minutes because another guest was smoking. (Initially we thought it was the steam from our bathroom that triggered the fire alarm and we panicked.)”

“Nice comfortable and clean hotel. Bedroom nicely furnished and great shower. My only gripe is that the drinks are a bit expensive but other than that really enjoy my stays there.”

“Very good ”

“Clean and well furnished rooms and super helpful staff. Great place to have a pint and a meal. Dinner and breakfast were both excellent and overall it was great value for money. ”
