Chose the 40 Winks as they had interesting rooms- a real boutique hotel and so much nicer than the standard white box you get. We stayed in the Gala Room which was AMAZING! The bed was so comfy and having a bath in the lovely roll top whilst admiring the views of the Cathedral was a great start to the morning. Staff were lovely and the breakfast was delicious (and filling). Location superb too.

Jon was a great host. The rural setting and local pub were excellent. A reasonably easy journey by car into Durham and to the Living Museum in Beamish:a must see. We will definitely be back and look forward to seeing more of County Durham.

    Location for us was ideal as we needed a night between Darlington and Durham. Very clean, comfortable bed. Breakfast of toast and cornflakes left in room. I did not like the shared bathroom, although I knew it was going to be shared.

    The location for us was ideal . 5 minute walk to the bus stop and then 10 minutes in to Durham. The room was very clean and we were greeted by the owner on arrival so is in the process of renovating the property The room had everything we needed, there was a large Tv and a small kitchen area with fresh milk in the fridge . We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back
