Ryton

"Fantastic location. Ideal for what we needed but also really rural-feeling and peaceful. We found it quiet and charming. We enjoyed wandering in amongst the old orchard and down through the copse, across the scrubland that forms part of the floodplain of the Tyne. It was good to know there are badgers around although we weren’t lucky enough to see anyway. The dawn chorus was impressive. Very pleasant indeed. Definitely will book again if we’re back in the area. "

Top Durham Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Washington by IHG

8/10 Good

"If the room has information about the free drinks and snacks in the primere room would be better."

INNSiDE by Meliá Newcastle

8/10 Good

"We have stayed here many times and love the hotel but we had a bad experience this visit with the parking. There are only a few spaces and the car park is now run by a company separate from the hotel. We found a space but were unable to pay using the machine or the app and ended up moving the car. Hopefully we will not receive a penalty ticket for this as we were trying for quite a while. Staff were unable to help in any way."

Lumley Castle Hotel

8/10 Good

"The property and the room itself were beautiful. We were given an upgrade free of charge which was much appreciated. The location is also very convenient. The staff at the reception were very friendly and helpful. The only thing that spoilt the stay was the cooked breakfast. The bacon and mushrooms were like leather and we could not eat it. On the second day we stuck to the continental items to be safe."

Maldron Hotel Newcastle

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely, large room. Helpful staff. We had breakfast at the hotel each morning, and we had a wide variety of options that were well-made and tasty. 3 block walk from the train station. Convenient to walk most places you might want to visit including museums, St. James Park, the Lit and Phil, and Grainger Market."

Ramside Hall Hotel, Golf and Spa

8/10 Good

"The staff were excellent and very friendly. The rooms etc were very well maintained. The main lift was out of service meaning a long walk to an alternative, but this only mattered when carrying luggage. Breakfast was a standard buffet, little limited with its selection but more than adequate. My only major complaint was the room didn’t have any air conditioning or air circulation. It was incredibly hot and the windows only opened a few inches. They brought us fans but they simply couldn’t cool the room. I asked to be moved to a cooler room but they could only offer it for 2 nights out of our remaining 3. Which wasn’t worth the hassle of packing and unpacking."
