Myself and my wife stayed here on the 2nd and 3rd June in room 3. We stayed with the intention of going to Chester Le Street for the cricket (Durham V Lancashire). Firstly if your going to the cricket (perhaps the upcoming Ashes series) then the public transport system is superb. The number 21 bus stops directly across the road... More

My wife & I stayed one night in this hotel. Staff where friedly and helpful. The room we had was very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. Would definetly recomend this hotel. The bar downstairs serves some nice beers. Try the Swedish Blonde if they have it on.

As a group we had booked tickets for the ahes in Durham well in advance as we knew it would get busy,hence our friends went to the trouble to find... More

We found the Garde n House Inn on the off chance - searching for somewhere to have Sunday lunch after an event in Newcastle. The menu was reasonably varied - 1 course £10, 2 courses £12.50. I chose the blade of beef - I have never tasted such gorgeous tender beef - and it was served with a massive Yorkshire... More

Our friends from Durham arranged a holiday for us in Durham to see the 2013 Ashes, we live in Portugal so flights were booked, hotels arranged supposedly.
