The Durham Ox is about thirty minutes north of York; a short drive to the Moors National Park, Castle Howard, etc. We stayed in the "Junior Cottage suite" for three nights. The bed is a bit on the lumpy side and the alcove is a tight fit. Regardless, we had a great time. There's a nice sitting area in the room, coffee/tea facilities and a wonderful view right out the door. The restaurant is excellent, we had dinner two of the three nights. The panelled dining room is very cozy. Breakfasts are prepared hot and the Yorkshire sausage is delicious. Friendly staff. more
