First night in UK, came back to room. Slipped on ice immediately in front of hotel. No salt. Limited light. Sprained both wrists, numb palms and fingertips. Also hurt knee and shoulder. Settled into room, nobody at front desk. Was there for an hour and all power went out approx. 10:30 pm. Power did not come back on AT ALL first evening. NEXT MORNING -NO POWER. Tried to cancel my stay for second night and phone number provided was not in service. Walked out and booked another location in Durham. Brutal.

Bar and bar food are good. The room was very cold with no way of heating, even in bed! The shower was a trickle of water if you wanted any hot water, no pressure.

Hotels.com had this hotel as listed much closer to Durham centre than it is I have reported this via email but had no response to that. It is a decent hotel, well priced. A few nit picks we were in the attic room and it was freezing. They made up for this with an extremely thick duvet that then had the opposite effect for me at least and was far too hot to lie under all night. Also one of the glasses and hand towels in the room were dirty. Breakfast was ok not amazing.

Friendly. Excellent stopover. Make sure you check you understand the location (the written address is fine but Expedia's own map seems to show the location as being close to the centre of Durham, which it is not).

A lovely pub just outside Durham in High Shincliffe. It’s nicely done up and a mix of locals and travellers like me. The food is well priced and the drinks list extensive. The rooms are clean and comfortable. I LOVED my full English breakfast. You cannot fault this place for the price.
Dinner. The bacon burger.
Delicious full English

Clean and tidy

The hotel is clean and tidy. Staff attentive and well mannered. We stayed for 5 nights but did not have our bed linen changed or fresh towels, although we did ask for fresh towels. The bins in the room were not emptied during the 5 days. We also had to ask for tea, sugar and biscuits. They should have been replenished daily. The food is typical “pub grub”. Nothing special but tasty.

Great location less than10 minutes from Durham, so the perfect base without the price tag of Durham hotels. The staff where friendly and welcoming. The cooked breakfast was very tasty and plentiful. We did not try the dinner options, but it's a lovely, friendly pub. Our room was a great size and the bed was comfy with a lovely feather duvet. Would definetly stay again. Alina & Steve
