The thermostat to the radiators didn’t work so we couldn’t turn the temperature down and were therefore uncomfortably hot and got limited sleep. The mattress added to the lack of sleep as it was very uncomfortable. The door to our room you could close from the inside with a hard shove but you couldn’t close from the outside so we couldn’t leave anything valuable in the room. The bathroom shelf was sitting at a jaunty angle and therefore we couldn’t put anything on it. The shower was more of a dribble than a shower. Having said all of that, it was neat and clean and a fraction of the cost of other local hotels.

It felt like the focus was more on the restaurant than the accommodation. The staff seemed to have been unaware who was arriving so had to check. Said our rooms were not ready, even though we arrived after 5pm, but given alternatives. No mention of check out times or if breakfast was available, Expedia says they do breakfast at an extra cost? We had booked 2 rooms and first impression was nice décor. However one room had no toilet paper or sugar on the tea tray. I stayed in a family room, I had to move kettle to windowsill and put the extension lead on the single bed to use it as there was no socket nearby. One of the lamps did not switch on as it was not plugged in, had to take the lead over the single bed to do so after I tightening up the stand as it had come loose looked drunk. The bed had a wooden frame, the bottom end joints were loose and needed gluing. There were several empty and part used complimentary toiletries left in the shower from previous guests. My room was at the front of the property so overlooked the road, I personally had no problem with road noise as I am hearing impaired. Okay there were some minor issues which had to be mentioned but the room and bed were clean and comfortable. I think we would stay here again because the issues did not bother us that much but needed to be mentioned so they can be put right. Although it may not necessarily be our first choice.

On entering the property we was greeted by the reception staff they were very friendly and helpful, they made our short stay feel at ease, had everything we needed and the owner was so polite even carried my bag upstairs and said anything we need just ask. Really can’t fault our room was lovely felt homely & cosy, the area was nice & quiet. Highly recommend this place. We had the family room as it was the last one left for us to book & was a great size room. 10/10

We picked a very busy day to need a bed in Durham as it was the university open weekend. La Spada was reasonably priced & good enough, despite quite a few adverse reviews. The hotel is not set up to take guests after 10pm, a fact not highlighted when we booked at 11.30pm & then tried to get in. Fortunately we were admitted. There was no breakfast service.

Absolutely disgusted with the room my partner and i were given, sex stains on the bed sheets, mud and dirt on the vallence, cobwebs throughout the room and bathroom, large spiders, large moths, shelf hanging off, dirty kettle with old stagnant water in it, and that is just the beginning, we only stayed 2 mins then left and requested a refund, the owner has refused, so to say I’m disappointed is an understatement! Please do not stay here unless you are homeless and need shelter as this is all it is good for!!

Room was awful, bath horrible, sink tap leaking, sink shelf broken, toilet handle broken, tv not tuned, no wifi code given, nobody there overnight 24hrs as it states, bed against a wall, no side tables, lots of air freshners to try and remove the stale smell, plastic spoons for tea. I can't tell you how poor this was. We left after a night.

5 Minutes to Durham

Had a lot of trouble locating the place as it had changed from an Inn to an Italian restaurant ,and the name from The Lambton Hounds Inn to La Spada restuarant between us booking and arriving . Would have thought someone would have had the common courtesy to tell us so that we were looking for the right place !

What great accommodations for a family of 4. The real gem is the hospitality at the restaurant downstairs. A most memorable dinner for our family. The owner made us feel like special guests on a pretty busy evening.

Lovely hotel and restaurant

We booked a room through Expedia in what we thought was The Lambton Hounds Inn. What we wanted was the experience of an old English pub having travelled from Canada for a wedding on 19th May 2018. We were not told by Expedia that the hotel had changed to an Italian restaurant, however the experience still turned out to be a very good one. Our English friends joined us for an Italian meal which indeed turned out to be an excellent experience. All of the waiters/waitresses turned out to be very friendly and efficient. One of our party did not like Italian food and had never been in an Italian restaurant before. However, she had English food which was excellent. We would definitely visit the La Scala again despite not being told of its change of name and business.

Excellent service

We were staying whilst in the area for work, the owner and staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. Because we had to go early before breakfast was served, they made us sandwiches the night before to take. The meals in the restaurant were great value and excellent quality. Would have no problem recommending and certainly would stay again. Thanks
