Homestays in County Durham, United Kingdom

After being let down by a booking error at another hotel, at midnight, I gave this place a call to see if they could fit me in. Staff were very welcoming and friendly, amazing customer service, were not remotely bothered about me staying an extra night before payment from my work had processsed and made me feel very welcome throughout my stay. Room was spotless, relatively quiet for a hotel next to a main road, well ventilated, had a plug next to the bed. Comfortable enough for a chronic insomniac to get something approaching a few decent night’s sleep. Okay, the place doesn’t look fancy, but for it’s price point that is not a big deal. Great value for money, very welcoming. Will be staying again next time I’m working up this way. Only negative is that the lift is broken.

We stayed here for a few night whilst visiting our son at the University of Durham. It is a beautiful Guest House in a wonderful location. The owner Kaye was very helpful and accommodating. We had the Cuthbert room which was absolutely spotless and perfect for our family of three plus pooch. The breakfasts were help yourself, continental style, very fresh and delicious. We were delighted with our stay and will definitely visit here next time we are back in Durham :)

Stayed here with two friends when we went to a nearby night out. Great location, you get your own key so you can come back anytime. Staff were really welcoming and a good laugh. Locals in the bar were chatty and we enjoyed a drink with them before we went out. 10 minute walk downhill into Durham city centre. We booked two twin rooms on the upper floor, both with bathrooms. Rooms were a good size and clean. Beds are really comfortable and there’s tea and coffee facilities and a hairdryer. Never noticed any traffic noise. Price is perfect and we all agreed we would 100% stay here again in a heartbeat.

We arrived in Durham late afternoon after driving for hours from the Lakes district via Hadrian's wall in Hexham. We were greeted by the host William. After check-in we asked William for directions to Durham Cathedral. Unfortunately we got lost and couldn't get there. We got back to the B&B very tired and disappointed as we only had the date of arrival to visit the Cathedral. We were tired and told William that we will just rest up for our trip up north the next day. William wouldn't hear of it and offered to drive us to the Cathedral and even wait for us while we toured the Cathedral. We were embarrassed and did not want to trouble him but he insisted and took us in his car, acting as a tour guide he drove past many attractions and got us to the Cathedral. Once I knew the way, I asked if we could return to the B&B so I could drive us in our own car to the Cathedral and spend the evening around there. He recommended a few restaurants as we drove past them and took us back. We managed to drive back and attend evening song and then spent a lovely evening walking around. If it weren't for William, we would have just spent the evening in our room feeling sorry for our selves. Our room was at the top floor. As I was parking the car, my wife took a small suitcase in. An elderly woman insisted on carrying the bag upstairs and no matter how many times my wife tried, she insisted on taking it up. Breakfast was great. Although only street parking is available, William assured us that the area was safe and he was right. This is a family run B&B and William and his family could not be more hospitable, friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Moor End Guest House.

I rate this place very highly. A very warm welcome as soon as we entered. The room was very comfortably decorated. The bathroom was lovely and the quality of the towels and bed linen was good. The bed and pillows were very comfortable - even for my husband! The breakfast was excellent and the service was friendly. There was nothing more you could want. They even had delicious homemade jam! A really great experience all round.it is possible to walk into Durham centre from here too
