I had a wonderful stay at this hotel with some great highlights, but there were a few drawbacks. The rooms were comfortable, and the views were lovely, but the pop-up bed for the children could be better. The service was impeccable, but the price was a bit high. The location was convenient and near transportation options, but it felt more like an American motel than an English pub. The dining experience, although inclusive and featuring local products, was a bit busy. Overall, a pleasant experience with a few minor areas that could be improved.

The hotel offers a cozy stay with separate bedrooms for children and stylish four-poster beds, along with pleasant views. The service is top-notch, with convenient room service and pet amenities available. On the downside, the location may feel like an American motel behind an English pub and the restaurant can get busy during peak times.

The hotel has a unique setting that might remind you of an American motel behind an English pub. It's close to a bus stop providing quick access to Durham city center and strikes a good balance of proximity to the town center while remaining slightly secluded. Just note that the on-site restaurant can get quite busy.

The hotel is an interesting mix, feeling like an American motel at the back of a cozy English pub. It's close enough to the town center yet provides a sense of distance. The rooms offer a unique touch with a pop-up bed and a four-poster bed, but there is a separate bedroom for children, which can be both a pro and a con based on preferences.
