“This budget-friendly inn, while not luxurious, serves as a practical base for exploring Durham's historical attractions, including Durham Castle. The location is convenient, especially for those without a car, given its proximity to public transportation. It's worth noting that soundproofing may be an issue for some guests. I think its family-friendly amenities, such as children's menus and pet allowance, add to its appeal.”

The pub was closed. I was disappointed because the listing gave me the impression I could get food and drinks there. There were also no staff available to assist when I arrived, forcing me to call a number that didn't answer right away.
