The owners of this luxury bed and breakfast could not have been nicer. A cup of teas was offered on arrival along with a very friendly welcome. My single room was large and more than ample for one guest. My tea/coffee/milk and mineral water supplies were replenished over night. Beautiful view over the city and lovely little garden out back.... More

This hotel was exquisite - comfort, Victorian stylings true to the hotel's name, modern amenities and a delicious full English breakfast. My girlfriend and I stayed in late January. After a rough ordeal with trains we were overwhelmingly relieved walking into such a gorgeous room. Our room was wonderfully warm and cosy, featuring a lovely four-post bed (don't see those... More

We stayed at the Victorian Town House (Beaumont Room) for four days during a tour of the North East last July. Arriving cold and wet we were delighted and a little stunned at the quality and comfort provided in our accommodation by our hosts. In fact the whole property is just beautifully presented with breakfast the icing on the cake.... More

We stayed here for 3 nights in January - and 3 very cold days - but we need not have worried because not only did we receive a warm welcome, but our room was beautifully warm and the breakfasts heartening for the cold days ahead. Durham is a lovely city, steeped in history, and there was plenty to do. There's... More

Booked a short weekend away with my wife at very last minute. Excellent value for money and very welcoming and communicative owners. Only a short walk into the city centre makes this the ideal place to stay in Durham for couples who want a friendly and comfortable break away from home! Would love to come back soon! More

We stayed at the Victorian Town House in January 2012 for three nights and it was wonderful. Andy and Jill were very welcoming and friendly right from the first enquiry email, and on arrival provided very good advice especially on places to eat. Our room (the Beaumont Room) was beautiful - as was the whole hotel. Breakfast was excellent, with... More

Situated a short walk from the Station and the City Centre we were lucky to secure the parking space in front of the house. Otherwise, on-road parking may prove less straightforward. However, if needed you are given vouchers to cover parking charges. A cup of tea was offered and came with cake in addition to mints and biscuits in the... More

We stayed at the Victorian Town House for two nights in early January for a joint birthday treat and we were not disappointed. We stayed in the Flambard room with a view of the cathedral. The room was very nicely decorated, modern and uncluttered. The bed was very comfortable and the ensuite was very well fitted out with a powerful... More

A first rate B&B with very friendly and helpful hosts in Andy and Jill who showed a genuine interest in their customers enjoying their stay in the accommodation and making the most of the area. The room was very comfortable, tastefully decorated and had a ensuite that would not be out of place in a 4 star hotel. A great... More

We stayed at the Victorian Town House for two nights at New Year and had a lovely time. We stayed in the Flambard Room which was beautifully decorated and very comfotable. A welcome tray was in the room with the usual teas and coffees, bottled water, biscuits and sweets, plus chocolates on the bed. The shower room was lovely, with... More
