Couple of nights stay
The positives were that the staff were very friendly, food was good and breakfast was excellent. The room was very clean although very warm. A little disappointed that there wasn’t as much information about the castle history as I would have liked and at £9.25 for a glass of wine I think we would have visited the bar for longer had it been a tad more reasonably priced. A beautiful castle to visit and all in all a pleasant stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Polite staff, clearly very well trained to a high standard and the hotel is simply spectacular. Room is beautiful, really nicely decorated and the bed is so comfy and soft. It's such a tiny detail but the heating was on in the bathroom when I arrived so the room was toasty and warm when I got there, so relaxing after a very long drive. Was also able to have a hot bath which was excellent. There is also a lovely affectionate cat that lives at the hotel, very sweet little lady. This was raised to the hotel staff but two men attempted to enter my room at around 10.30-11pm on my first night - from the sound of lots of keys and the fact they put a key into the door, it conceded me it may have been staff. When this was reported the front desk were very helpful and said they would investigate. Despite this I wouldn't say the hotel felt unsafe. Parking was a bit challenging at times but considering the age of the site this is unavoidable. The only thing I'd say they could improve on is the lighting on the drive up to the hotel - as the paths to get out are very narrow some better lighting would be appreciated. Thank you all for a lovely stay in Durham ❤️
