6/10 Good

The bedlinen was clean, the toilet not so clean. The owners were friendly and quickly provided tea bags and toilet roll. Unfortunately the room we were originally assigned had no heating. We were moved to another room ,which was quiet after 11pm. It is situated within an easy 20 minute walk into Durham centre.

Had a very enjoyable stay,, you check in at the bar in the pub. Very quick and friendly room was very clean. Stayed in room 1. Bathroom looked like it had a refurb. Only downside was no remote for the tv, but landlady said it was on order, no problem as can turn over with the buttons. Whilst having a drink in the bar we spoke to the landlady and she said she had only been there 12 weeks so was trying to get the pub back up and going after being closed for a while.
