Positive: Arrived to a lovely little private car park and received a very warm welcome from the reception staff, who already had my room prepared. I was absolutely thrilled with the room — modern, spacious, and immaculately clean. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the room had everything I needed for a perfect stay. The gardens were stunning, the food in the restaurant was delicious, and it was only a 7-minute drive into the centre of Durham. I’ll definitely be back!
