"Really enjoyed our short time in Durham. Everyone is warm and friendly."

8.0

Really good breakfast. Good selection of beers in the bar and all the staff were really friendly.

Couldn't get hot water in the shower so braved washing my hair with cold water. The Shoes is at the top of a long steep climb which is fine if you are expecting it so we got a cab back after our evening out.
