Location
Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is set in a peaceful location with a golf course, offering a lovely view of the grounds and nice dining options. The service was basic with room for improvement, but the proximity to Durham center and multiple onsite restaurants were convenient highlights.
The hotel offers brilliant access to a garden with all the amenities, but suffers from poor housekeeping. The garden view from the rooms is exceptional.
The hotel offers a lovely setting with a garden view and multiple dining options, though lacking a bar fridge in the rooms. The service, despite being a bit infrequent, makes up for it with a homely touch. The location is ideal, close to restaurants and amenities, while the dining experience could be improved with more attention to detail.
