Hotel berhampiran Adventure Valley di Durham

The receptionist was very friendly and check-in was easy. The bed was really comfortable, the room was clean, had a hair dryer, a large mirror and a shower gel. Soundproofing was not great (we could hear everything that was going on on the corridor) but luckily other guests were not loud at night. The window blind was broken. Overall it was a good stay - a good location and a comfortable bed was all we needed.

Excellent stay, room,, restaurants,, staff friendly help full, the spa very enjoyable. One big draw back you only get one hour on your arrival day. I've never had that in any hotel it should be at least two hours. On checking out morning you have till 11am. In all a very pleasant stay 😊

The service and the facilities were very good. I only had breakfast at the hotel. It was self service with plenty to choose from.

The Sunderland Holiday Inn is modern, clean and all the staff are friendly and helpful. We stayed in a Queen Standard room, which was spacious and immaculately presented. The only downfall was the room service menu. It says it's available until 12.00am, but we we called at 10.30, we were told there was only pizza available, so we had to go out and pick something up. Apart from that, it is excellent value for money, and we will be returning again.

The drive up to the castle was was fantastic as the view of the castle looked stunning. The entrance to the court yard for parking was quaint and inviting. The look of the court yard looking at all the out buildings looked inviting and very well presented. The “stocks” make for great entertainment The entrance to the reception is like looking for the secret door but the plaque at the side with history information explains why and is interesting to read. Inside the reception is is quite dark but this for me added to the ambience of the place. The staff where welcoming, polite and explained the hotel set up. We stayed in one of the room in the courtyard which was beautiful. Very nicely decorated and good value for money. The room was cozy. We’d booked to have a meal in the Knights Restaurant and we had pre drinks in the bar first The walk to the restaurant through the corridor into the central courtyard was very different yet beautiful. It’s so old and it was nice to see it was decorated and kept within “keeping” The bar again was inviting and cosy and it was great to see that the drinks and wine list was very reasonably priced. So often places know you are a target audience and inflate the prices ridiculously however in our opinion the castle had not done this. There was a good choice of cocktails and the “smoked” cocktails added that something a little bit different and we didn’t mind paying a few pounds more for the “quirkiness”. Again the staff where very professional, friendly and well presented. The walk from the bar/lounge area to the Knights Restaurant was stunning through the corridors of the castle and past a lovely looking staircase and when we walked into the restaurant I was overwhelmed as it was stunning and not what I was expecting. The arched ceiling, the lighting, the privacy of how the tables where set out we felt was very nice. We thought it all created a romantic setting. It was very secluded but included. The menu choice was good and the food was beautiful. The service was great too and again the staff were very professional, polite and very well presented. The prices on the menu varied so I would say they’d catered fo most people’s budget and it was your own choice on how much you spend Our nights sleep was comfortable and the walk back from the restaurant to the courtyard was well lit but again in keeping with been in a castle environment. Great use of mood lighting. My husband even went into the stocks on the was home (🤣) Breakfast the next morning again did not disappoint. The selection was fantastic and plenty of food to choice from Overall we can can not fault our experience. It was a lively venue with great facilities and very well presented. The staff where Courteous, polite, friendly and very well presented. I would recommend this as a place to go and stay. We must go back so we can stay in one of the castle rooms as I am sure they would be as good and maybe even more “quirkier” than the courtyard rooms which were very nice.

the service was great and it was clean, and very much nearer from the station

It's a good price for where th hotel is it's nice and close to everything! But the restaurant inside th hotel has actually shut down and we didn't no this until we actually went to get food which was abit annoying! The staff were ok but not as friendly and nice as other hotels I have been to. I am diabetic and my blood sugar was dropping we tried to ask for help but they weren't to fussed thankfully there was a vending machine

A friend who was also staying at the hotel had an accident away from the hotel. He tripped over a paving kerb cutting his head. The reception staff were very helpful in cleaning the cut and supplying plasters.

The Queens Head is a lovely little BnB/Pub my partner and I both slept incredibly well, the room was spotless and the facilities were well maintained. The pub it’s self was lively with a friendly atmosphere, incredibly attentive staff and the breakfast was to die for. I could not recommend the eggs Benedict more. I would 100% stay here again and recommend it to my friends.
