I've stayed a few times recently while working in the area. Accommodation is fairly basic, but comfortable beds, clean, warm and a great little restaurant onsite with nice food. Ideal for a few days stop.

Hotel was clean and the staff were friendly. I hadn't realised it was motel style but with a dog having your car outside the door was pretty helpful! Breakfast was good and the dog got a sausage too 😄

Stayed in the courtyard area, had lovely views over the fields at the back. The room itself was a good size, comfortable bed and storage facilities were all of a good standard, just the bathroom needed a little updating as a bit tired. The breakfast was very good (perfect poached eggs) also had our dinner there a couple of times and the food again was very good. Staff were friendly and helpful. Just 3 miles from Durham City Centre and surrounded by some stunning scenery . Would definitely stay here again if we were venturing up that way.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was motel style and a bit past its best. The room looked onto plastic style bins full of soil and weeds, more could be made of them if planted with shrubs. The bathroom was in need of a refurb and needs a deep clean as it was very grubby and dirty. Bedside lamp not working, tv remote falling apart and held together with grubby tape. Restaurant staff very unfriendly and when asked for a drinks price list (which is a legal requirement) said they did not have one as drink prices were being updated. The price we paid for our drinks were very expensive.
