Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
We stayed he for 4 nights possibly on the hittest days of the year, no fan was offered and was unbearably hot for sleeping, sheets of towels were not changed even thiugh i left the note on the door handle to do so. Theres no fridge so had no way if keeping drink cold. The rooms are not very big, and having the window open you could hear the tv and talking in joining rooms. One bonus is the buses pass by into Durham and further afield and run frequently and late.

The room was very clean and comfortable, but my towel had a small brown stain on it. Two of the staff were very unfriendly, when we arrived she just gave us our key without a smile and we had to ask twice before we discovered that the room was a little chalet in the car park. There is a nice view of a peaceful field and trees from the window and generally it was okay.

This hotel needs to invest in new/decent pillows. For many people pillows make or break a good night’s sleep. The ones in our room were totally flat/worn out - we asked for some additional ones but were told none were available as the hotel was fully booked. Seems very strange that a hotel with this many rooms would not carry extra bedding/a few reserves. Just not good enough really. And such a shame as it did cost us a good night’s sleep. Otherwise - bed itself was comfortable enough. Cleanliness just about alright - but really filthy roller blind in room (complete with squished flies) needs to be replaced. Breakfast just about ok but a little lacking in options given the price. Overall advice - if a decent pillow is important to you, bring your own if you can.

LIKED that I could park right outside my ground floor room. Beds were comfortable and room was of a medium size which was fine for a one night stay for just myself. We booked a bigger room on our last stay and would say it was better. However you can't have breakfast after 9am. Perhaps ok for Workers but 9.30 or 10am would be better for holidaymakers. I chose not to have breakfast for this reason. The location was easy to find and on a main road off the A1 and easy to get to the P& R into Durham.
