We loved that our hosts and staff made us feel really welcomed. The room was really large which enabled us to open our suitcases. The room was clean and the bed was a super king. All meals were cooked by Sonja the owner and breakfast was included in our room rate which included a ‘full’ breakfast. We loved staying at an independently owned pub and really the company of all staff and the locals. Traveled to Durham by bus which stopped outside the Royal Oak Great value for money.

    I liked the cozy atmosphere of the Victoria Inn, the friendliness of the staff. My bed was very comfortable and the room including the bathroom was very clean. I really appreciated that I was provided two bottles of water everyday free of charge, as well as a selection of tea bags and coffee-

    The staff who were from another inn to cover were fabulous. They worked really hard supporting the guests needs as best they could. Evening meal choices limited. However, what was ordered was fresh and well presented.
