"Cold room heating not working properly, hotel knew about this yet sold us the room. Hotel very anti-family with regard to use of pool. Unless you wish to use the pool as a family very early in the morning or in the you have no chance of using pool. Hotel doesn’t tell you this until after check in not at booking. "

"Fabulous upgrade to a newly decorated suite, thanks! Beautiful space and going to try and book to go again with my husband. Didn’t get time to use the facilities this time but there’s a charge to use unless you book direct. The allocation for the evening meal on the HB package is £35. You can pay extra if you so wish. We happened to be seated next to the grill area so got chatting with the cook there. I had the most amazing steak - perfectly seasoned with a sauce. He also advised on the type/size of steak options. Based on what we saw my friend had a burger. It was lush and my steak was certainly the nicest in a long time. Chips came with a herb on which detracted from the flavour and we both left a lot. Ordinary fries or plain chips would have been better. Great breakfast next day and decent sized beakers to get a drink from of machine. Lush hot choc! Two guys were on their phones at different tables discussing work matters close to me which detracts from a relaxing brekky. I was almost going to move as it went on maybe ten mins. Hospitality nationally needs to consider signs asking people to consider the impact of such calls on other diners. Selfish! The chap two tables up said he didn’t want something going in the press but he talked about it. Despite this, it’s my third stay at this hotel and can recommend. Easy for M6 proximity and half way stage for my friend and I to meet. We usually book a separate room too so we can sleep well which I did with hotels. Com. "

"Easy to check in. Was very surprised how well kept and clean the room was and actually matched the photos, very impressed. Also very quiet considering it is right next to the A1. On returning from a wedding we had the pleasure of speaking with Michael on reception who is a credit to the hotel, fantastic hospitality and chat, such a laugh! Will definitely stay again if needs be. "

"Short break for a birthday. From the moment we arrived we were well looked after. Our room overlooking the river was very nice, somewhere to hang the towels etc in the bathroom would have been a good thing. The spa was good and clean throughout. The food in the evening in Josef's Restaurant was very good and plentiful and there was a good choice for breakfast in the morning too. Overall the staff were very good and we would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel for a stay in Durham. Looking forward to returning."
