Stayed two nights at the Honest Lawyer in order to attend a family event nearby. Booked via laterooms and had a premium room in the main building at a discounted rate.

Stayed at The Honest Lawyer on Thursday and Friday night last week. Easy enough to find as it's just off the A167 and a very short drive (2 miles away) to the centre of Durham. Check-in was straight forward and efficient. We stayed both nights in a Courtyard Room that was both immaculately clean and comfortable. The rear view of... more

I stayed at this Hotel on the 7th January, and after some of the reviews I was a bit worried but I decided to go anyway. As u pull upto the Hotel this is more of a motel style with rooms around the main building of the Hotel. As we entered the Hotel we both were greeted with the warmest... more
