40 Winks Hospitality ★★★★
"We spend six glorious nights at 40 Winks Guest House to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we were instantly made to feel royally welcome. Our suite overlooking the river Wear and Durham Cathedral had been prepared and decorated in style with balloons, chocs etc. - see photo. Very comfortable spacious room, large bathroom with bath, stand alone shower and more than enough space for anyone. The manager George was particularly helpful with advice about the city, parking restrictions etc as well as being responsible for some wonderful breakfasts. 40 Winks will suit people who want a quiet, peaceful place to stay. Five suites and four other bedrooms give it a quite an exclusive vibe and together with the dark, tasteful decoration in the staircase and landings it is quite sumptuous. Are there any downsides? I guess if you have mobility issues the stairs may not be easy as the property has no lift because it is a period townhouse and there is only on street parking - expensive outside but much cheaper in a side road. Listening to the soft bells of Durham Cathedral drifting across the river Wear as you wake or go to sleep however is completely relaxing. Highly recommended."

I had a really good night’s sleep as the mattress on the bed was incredibly comfortable. Overall, my stay represented great value for money and I would definitely stay again if in the area."

Farnley Tower Guesthouse ★★★★
"Because it is a loft room, the room is too low and it is difficult to raise your head. The bedding does not feel clean enough. The service is OK but the facilities are old and not easy to use. Not recommended!"

The Royal Oak ★★★
"The hotel is located along a country road. The room is quite big. Breakfast is a traditional British food. To experience authentic British life, you should have a full English breakfast."
