Travellers' Choice
Combine the best of city living with the relaxed atmosphere of the countryside at this cosy, gem-of-an-inn in Durham. Surrounded by the peaceful woodland of Flass Vale, it’s hard to believe The Kingslodge Inn is just a ten-minute stroll from the heart of historic Durham with its UNESCO World Heritage Site of Durham Cathedral and adjoining Castle. Voted the best venue in County Durham in the National Pub & Bar Awards in 2019 and named by The Times as one of the '20 best places to stay in the UK with a dog’, The Kingslodge Inn has all the benefits of a city-centre location but with a laid-back, relaxed vibe.

Very welcoming helpful staff and one of the best cooked breakfasts I've ever eaten. And I've eaten a lot! Included good thick quality bacon, a very tasty sausage, hash browns delightfully crispy on the outside but moist in the middle, and a perfectly poached egg. Will definitely stay again if I'm in Durham on business and might even make the trip to stay for pleasure!

Great place to stay - friendly staff, delicious evening meal and a comfortable room and bed for a great night's sleep. Breakfast was good with a broad selection. Great value too. I'll definitely be back when in the area.

Such a warm and cosy hotel. We have stayed here before and as always all the staff are lovely and friendly, polite and efficient. We had great food in the bar and our rooms were warm and spotlessly clean. A perfect night's sleep. Thanks for having us.

Excellent value on this special offer deal. Perfect for us as needed to be somewhere in the area for a couple of days and did want the long journeys four times. All of the staff were excellent from the very beginning of our stay right through to when we left.

A real find in Durham. Very reasonably priced traditional hotel in great location with good service standards, excellent food. Nice to find a non-chain hotel in a great spot. Will definitely stay again.

We enjoyed our stay, lovely food for evening meal and great breakfast. . Excellent location with car park. Dog friendly. We would have appreciated a bigger room because we have a large dog, but as we didnt book directly with the Kingslodge it was not the fault of the hotel.

We enjoyed a very enjoyable two night stay. Clean, comfortable rooms, friendly staff and good breakfast. The only downside was the TV signal not that good and we waited a little while for our cooked breakfast one morning but overall, excellent value.

I spent one night at Kings Lodge and it was great. Staff is excellent, breakfast is good - you help yourself with the things presented and ask for the hot food, which is freshly prepared in a few minutes. The room was comfortable, with anything I needed (including an iron). The only thing I would note is the noise from outside as it is clearly possible to hear other guests, and this disturbed me a little. Apart from that, it was a very good value for the money, and I definitely recommend Kings Lodge.

This is such a great place to stay if you want access to the city but a more relaxed feel. It is comfortable and clean, the staff are lovely and the breakfast was excellent. An easy walk to the centre.
