What an absolute gem of a place. Located a mere 5 minutes walk from the railway station and into the town centre, the Victorian Townhouse is the place to stay if you are visiting Durham. Wonderful hospitality from Andy and Jill who make you feel extremely welcome. The room we stayed in was first class, beautiful bed with views over... More

Excellent stay. I highly recommend the Beaumont Room. Nice view of the garden. Large room. Nice vanity. Good sized bath. Decent bed. Nice big windows. Great food! I tried it all. Love the Full English, Black Pudding Stack, Scrambled Eggs with Smoked Salmon and the Porridge with Whisky. Excellent! Right, I'm fearless. After reading all the comments about the food,... More

We stayed in the Beaumont room for one night (£90). The room was spacious and spotlessly clean with settee and view of the garden. We were welcomed with tea and cake. The breakfast was delicious and I especially liked the lightly poached plums. A short walk to the city. Would definitely stay there again.

You will not be disappointed if you manage to stay here. Andy & Jill are superb lovely hosts and the perfect demonstration of fantastic hospitality. Whenever I have the need to stay in Durham City or for family and friends this is always my first choice.

Just returned from a weekend break in Durham with my husband after staying at the Victorian Town House. Cannot praise it enough. Owners Jill and Andy were the perfect hosts - nothing was too much trouble. We stayed in the Flambard room, which was so comfortable and the breakfasts are amazing. If we return to Durham would not consider staying... More

Excellent location, a fantastic room, an incredible breakfast. All delivered with a "nothing is too much trouble" attitude. There are worse 5 star hotels! Thank you for a lovely stay. This will be my default choice for future trips to the North East. James

We stayed here for one night en route to meet up with friends. Pity it wasn't longer. Our room was Flambards - absolutely delightful. Beautifully decorated and furnished, superbly comfortable bed with crisp bedding and many lovely touches in the room. The welcome pot of tea and homemade cake was appreciated. Breakfast was superb - all freshly cooked and of... More

We booked this B&B purely on the strength of reviews on Trip Advisor. From the minute the door is answered the visit is perfect. We were taken to the Flambard Room which was perfectly decorated and in really good order, as is the rest of the house. We were brought a pot of coffee and homemade fruitcake as we unpacked.... More

An excellent bed and breakfast, which we highly recommend. A great welcome from the hosts, Andy and Jill; a beautifully appointed room with en suite, a very comfortable bed, tea and coffee making facilities and lots of nice little extras. The breakfast was superb - a huge choice, from the delicious fresh fruit to the full English. The house itself... More
