Gorgeous olde worlde modern hotel

It’s a lovely hotel and very convenient stop. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We only had breakfast but it was delicious and plenty of it. The decor was lovely but needed a bit of tidying and the vase on the table needed a clean. I’m not keen on fake flowers which gather dust and the winter sun shows the glass vase needing a polish. I’m being picky hoping I’m being helpful. It was a fab stay and I thoroughly recommend it and would stay again.

The manor is stunning as is the grounds and i enjoyed googling the history!

It could have been so good!

we have been staying at 61 durham for a few years now as our son studies in Durham. We have always enjoyed the hotel and have been coming back on a regular basis. There is a big difference between the rooms on the first and second floor in terms of size and comfort. we always booked a standard room so have no idea how to specify for a larger room if possible. Breakfast was always a highlight of the stay with an excellent menu in a nice room. This time we were very disappointed when the breakfast menu was replaced by a few baked beans, sausages and dried up fried egges to help yourself to on a buffet. When I asked why this was I was told the hotel had been busy so the kitchen could not cope... I felt this was not a good excuse and left very disappointed.

Really bad attitude at breakfast very abrupt. This is not what you expect from a hotel !!!!! The bedroom was very cold, there is a positive the water was hot

Excellent breakfast & comfy bed but not clean

Room was true to it's name - the cosy room. No wardrobe although hangers are suspended from a bar for you to hang clothes. No iron & ironboard provided, no tissue box. The bed was very comfy so I had a good sleep. Breakfast was excellent, everything tasted so good. The grounds & interior of the hotel are stunning. The only real downside was the sub-par cleanliness in my room - cobwebs on inside of window, TV remote covered in dust, dust filling the bottom edge of the mirror, hole in hand towel.

A good nights sleep in a really nice hotel.

Our one night stay at 61 Durham was very nice. The hotel is located about 10 minutes drive from Durham city centre in very nice grounds on the edge of Pittington Village. Parking was free and only a few steps from the main entrance. We were allocated room 218 on the second floor, an attic room with a sloping ceiling overlooking the lawned rear garden. The room was clean and comfortable with a small but nice bathroom and a decent shower with really good water pressure. Our bed was soft and comfortable and the room was quiet so we had a good nights sleep. Breakfast in the orangery dining room was very good and the staff both at reception and generally throughout our stay were very friendly and attentive. A really good option if you're visiting Durham and want somewhere close but without the noise and bustle of the city.

Majority of staff seemed to be new and were still in the training progress so things took a little longer than expected but all very nice and I'm sure they will be great once trained up. Nice hotel.

Staff were all pleasant and helpful and the public areas of the hotel were comfortable and welcoming. My room was clean, quiet and the bed was large and very comfortable. My only niggles were the lack of small items such as tissues and cotton wool pads. Also, as with so many hotel rooms, there wasn’t a mirror with decent lighting for applying makeup. I take my own illuminating mirror with me on my travels because this is almost always the case.

Could be a beautiful boutique hotel. It’s a little tired . Front door ( first impression) was rotted away in places and needed replacing. Great bathroom in the Sanctuary Suite just wish the bath was in it and not in the bedroom- that’s just down to taste- not my cup of tea 🛁. 2 out of the 3 lamps in our room weren’t working. A bottle of water in the room would have been nice but not offered. Hotel condition overall requires more attention to detail. Staff were great- service was very efficient, helpful and friendly. Good restaurant although a little disappointed that last food order was at 8pm as I was visiting my mother in hospital and didn’t get back in time. Cooked breakfast was good but not much left on the buffet table- no pastries left, managed to get the last of the orange juice and just a spoonful of fruit salad left to go with my Greek yogurt.
