61 Durham

Food was lovely , clean well kept rooms not so great on checkout when the receptionist did not recognise trip . Com and advised we hadn’t paid despite us showing her confirmation of pre payment

We asked for a twin room but got a double instead, staff were friendly and helpful to resolve this. Hotel was generaĺly very tired and the mattress was really uncomfortable.

A must stay Last minute booking due us n3eding tongo and viait family after a sudden unexpected family passing all the stagf where nothing but kind and polite and when we needed to extend our stay it was no issue at all for them to help us we opted to have the breakfast and im so glad we did aswell as the full english and continental option the also had things like omelettes, avocado on toast and the most delicious eggs florentine. The manor is stunning as is the grounds and i enjoyed googling the history!

It could have been so good! we have been staying at 61 durham for a few years now as our son studies in Durham. We have always enjoyed the hotel and have been coming back on a regular basis. There is a big difference between the rooms on the first and second floor in terms of size and comfort. we always booked a standard room so have no idea how to specify for a larger room if possible. Breakfast was always a highlight of the stay with an excellent menu in a nice room. This time we were very disappointed when the breakfast menu was replaced by a few baked beans, sausages and dried up fried egges to help yourself to on a buffet. When I asked why this was I was told the hotel had been busy so the kitchen could not cope... I felt this was not a good excuse and left very disappointed.

Excellent breakfast & comfy bed but not clean Room was true to it's name - the cosy room. No wardrobe although hangers are suspended from a bar for you to hang clothes. No iron & ironboard provided, no tissue box. The bed was very comfy so I had a good sleep. Breakfast was excellent, everything tasted so good. The grounds & interior of the hotel are stunning. The only real downside was the sub-par cleanliness in my room - cobwebs on inside of window, TV remote covered in dust, dust filling the bottom edge of the mirror, hole in hand towel.
