Craig, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Review

Friendly efficient local staff. Excellent breakfast and restaurant food especially the daily specials. Housekeeping excellent. Rooms functional but a bit dated.Parking directly outside courtyard rooms is a bonus for any disabled visitors and access to the main entrance is easy. The city of Durham ,Beamish Museum and The Auckland Project are all within less than half an hour’s drive. Although just off a busy road the courtyard rooms are quiet with a rural view at the rear . I would use this hotel again.

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable and great for price

Booked late, but room was ready and despite it being in the middle of meal service check in was quick, efficient and friendly. I'd already eaten but the food looked very good too. Room was small and comfortable. Good nights sleep and bathroom was clean.
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely staff, the room was clean albiet very dated but it was comfortable enough. Very noisy, down to being able to hear the next doors light switch being flicked. Stayed after an event in Durham City, so it was ideal for what I needed.
Claire, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I would highly recommend

Thank you so much! Nothing was to much trouble! Rooms were very clean and comfortable. A big shout out to Ross who was amazing during our stay.
Amy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice hotel with friendly staff

The room was clean and had everything we needed for the night. One thing we didn't like was the shower curtain. It did not keep the water in and it stuck to you while trying to shower. The staff were very friendly and helpful and there was plenty of parking. The only let down was the breakfast. While it was hot and there was plenty of it available we did not think it was worth the £12.50 per person extra.
Keith, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Inexpensive but areas need attention

Evening meal average. Beds comfy and good bedding but bathroom desperate for updating and wifi connection poor.

4/10 Fair

It was better than a park bench

I feel terrible writing this review as the staff is wonderful, but the property is dated and they do the best that they can with what they have. It is time to revive the rooms. But the price was appropriate for the quality of the facilities so I can't really complain. It was about 1/3 the price for a room in Durham.
Anthon, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Have stayed at the Honest Lawyer before 7 years ago. As then it is great value and convenient location just outside Durham
Edwin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice comfortable stay, catered for my vegan needs. Room was a little bit dated, and bathroom could do with a refurb.
Lorraine, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Considering the price paid, this is a very good hotel. Stayed for 2 nights for work. Food in the restaurant is reasonably priced and portions are large. The WiFi is excellent
Alex, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Short break

Hotel room was ok restaurant very poor. They are looking for a chef so this may not be relevant to future bookings
