Bit miffed that we paid nearly £100 for one night and a week later they're offering same room for half the price. Breakfast expensive at £12.50. It was ok but won't go again.

Great value American-style motel

We had not realised that this is more of an American style motel where your hotel room opens out directly outside where your car is. This is unlike other places we’ve stayed where you have to trek down long corridors, up the stairs, more corridors etc. This is especially valuable if you have a lot of luggage and bags with you because you open your car boot and you walk straight into your room. The room itself is quite basic but has what we needed. The shower in the bathroom was brilliant, excellent water pressure and consistent perfect water temperature, I didn’t want to get out! The waitress in the restaurant at breakfast, Zoe, was very hard working and friendly. Would definitely stay here again if we were coming to the area again.

Positive first, staff were very friendly and helpful Bad points - Room had a strong smell of cigarettes, nothing could get rid of it, it was even in the bedding(possibly from the bed). Carpet was filthy. Very dated and in need of refurb. Decided not to stay the second night and drove home

The staff were very polite and accommodating. The rooms could do with updating and the bathroom/bath was not up to standards. The hot tap leaked on the bath and the shower head let more water out the back of the hose and also ran down the bath and onto the floor which could turn into another problem. But we would go back and they really looked after my husband when he had to come up for me.

Very convenient location both for driving and also bus stop outside to get to/from Durham. Beautiful location for local walks (deer outside the window on two mornings). Comfortable beds, good showers and good value for money. Was a shame the bar shuts early, but otherwise good. Didn’t eat there so can’t comment on food, but friendly staff.
