Location for us was ideal as we needed a night between Darlington and Durham. Very clean, comfortable bed. Breakfast of toast and cornflakes left in room. I did not like the shared bathroom, although I knew it was going to be shared.

The location for us was ideal . 5 minute walk to the bus stop and then 10 minutes in to Durham. The room was very clean and we were greeted by the owner on arrival so is in the process of renovating the property The room had everything we needed, there was a large Tv and a small kitchen area with fresh milk in the fridge . We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back

The location was ideal for us as we had friends in Ludworth, and we were going in to Durham too. The bed in the room was very comfy, the shower excellent. Very clean and well presented throughout. Staff were great, breakfast was amazing and included in the price of the room and it was well worth it, will be coming back!
