Great little 'inn' with excellent food!

The Kingslodge Inn was chosen as it was close to the town centre, had good car parking and well reviewed food! We did choose to venture into town one of the days, and it was about a 10 minute walk away, just the right distance to be 'close enough' without actually stopping in the town. Second 'must' was a decent car park, the Kingslodge has a great little car park, feels nice and secure and just tucked away enough so you feel safe leaving your vehicle parked there. Last on the list was food, we had breakfast both mornings, with a continental buffet followed by a cooked to order hot choice - all were superb! We also enjoyed evening meals on both nights, these were also of excellent quality, all served by excellent attentive staff. My only criticism, is that maybe the rooms couls do with a spruce up, mine was a little tired around the edges, but the bed was comfy, nice bedding and a TV/coffee making facilities. A nice touch was the offer to trade your first days cleaning for a free drink, helps using so much cleaning products and was more than happy to get a free drink instead - great initiative. Would happily stop here again, and recommend to others!

Don't stay here if you like TV in the bar, fruit machines, etc. Stay here if you like free car parking, pleasant surroundings, peace and quiet, good food, friendly, helpful staff and a clean, comfortable, en-suite room that comes with a good breakfast, a pleasant stroll from the centre of the city of Durham. It's like pubs used to be years ago, but without the darts and dominoes! Thoroughly recommended!

The bed in the hotel room was shockingly small and thin walls meant that I heard my neighbours until the early hours of the morning. I don't quite understand how they can charge the rates they do.

Wonderful inn outside city but walkable with trails and park’s nearby. Restaurant on site with bar was great and staff were amazing! If you want that rustic countryside experience this is wonderful! No frills, but cozy, clean and comfortable beds. No A/C but provided fans which adds to the no frills country experience. Thank you to the wonderful staff for their hospitality!

Room 13!!! (Unlucky for some)

Don't take Amex. Bed - mattress was okay but not the most comfortable. No sweeteners with tea/coffee, only sugar (I'm diabetic). Poor water pressure in shower. Good lighting options in room, nicely decorated and very clean. Nice option to forgo cleaning/towel change in exchange for a drink in the bar. Above average food, friendly staff but food was excruciatingly slow to be served. Overall, a good 3* hotel close to the railway station and road links, and within walking distance of the Cathedral and city centre. Would use again, if/when return to Durham.

Bad nights sleep.

Disappointing nights sleep. Disturbed by music from the bar and restaurant below at 7am on a Saturday, why on earth do you need that? Plus room service rustling stuff in the cupboard next to our room at the same time even though check in isn't until 5pm? Otherwise, service and staff were very nice and breakfast was excellent.

As always a warm welcome from the staff there. Clean neat and tidy with good food and well priced. Just the right distance from the bright lights of Durham City, very walkable but quiet once you’ve walked back to the hotel. Ideal

Ok

Room was nice, nice location ( handy for train). At £179 seemed a bit pricey for what you got,cooked breakfast was very average. Would stay again but not at this price.

Nice hotel, same about the overnight noise.

The room we were was so noisy overnight, I dont know if it was someone turning a hot water tap on, flushing a toilet or boiler going off every 30mins or so, so hardly got any sleep, if i had been staying more than one night I would have asked to move rooms. Sound proofing terrible, could hear next door having a normal conversation. Room was pretty basic and small for the cost too. Breafast was included and was ok, nothing special, but ok. Dog friendly which was great as we both had a dog with us, however not really the hotels fault, but letting 3 small dogs staying in one room maybe a problem as yapped all night and when i was letting my dog out for a wee in the morning on a lead, all 3 dogs came running down the corridor off lead out of a room, yapping, scared my dog so much, should be clearly told dogs on a lead at all times out of room, and maybe only one dog per room. Never thought I would say a hotel can be too dog friendly? Otherwise hotel was nice, and situation to Durham perfect.

Impressed!!

Was very very impressed with the cleanliness of the whole establishment considering it is a dog friendly hotel. There was nothing we could fault with our entire stay. Would definitely recommend and hopefully return for another visit soon. Very handy for seeing all the sights and super close to both train and bus stations.
