We have just had a few days mini moon, gifted to us after our wedding, at The Townhouse. Not knowing what to expect, we ended up having the perfect few days here. Paid parking over the road cost us £31 for 3 days. Pay for the hours between 8&6. We arrived a little earlier than check-in time and got a drink at the bar. The hotel is very impressive to the eye, colourful and cosy. The staff are super friendly. Wendy looked after us for most of the stay, and nothing was too much trouble. We stayed in Eden Lodge. It was small but perfectly done. The bathroom had a gorgeous big deep bath and a very powerful shower. The bed is extremely comfortable. There are plenty of pillows. Mini fridge stocked with pay as u go drinks and free bottled waters. A coffee machine. There was also a hairdryer, robes, and slippers provided, although the robes only fit up to about a size 16 comfortably, so it was not ideal if you're a bigger person but plenty of towels. Then, outside, you have a small secluded garden area surrounded by greenery and a very nice hottub for two. Considering how close to the town centre it is and the road out the front of the hotel there was no noise at all apart from birds in the trees. Very nice. We were warned the chef had gone sick, so it was a continental breakfast only, but as we didn't know what we were in for anyway, it didn't bother us, and there was still plenty of choice. Pastrys, meats. Cheese, cereal, fresh juices and fruit, toast and tea/coffee. We had some extras in the room arranged for us as newleyweds, and it was done out lovely with balloons, banners, and an ice bucket filled with cava and peroni Everything you could need was within a 15-minute stroll. We only really left the room to eat and had some lovely meals about 5 minutes walk away. Turkish meze and grill was our fave. Overall, it was an ideal mini moon. Shout out to housekeeping too because not only was she lovely, but the room was spotless. She even managed to pop in and work around all our balloons and cards, which we had on every surface in the room and we asked her if she made the bed not to make it military style and she left it just as we asked. Thank you for a lovely stay. Maria & Reanne.

Tried here for the 1st time for Sunday lunch and it was fabulous. We are creatures of habit and tend to go to the same place for Sunday lunch. So pleased we went out of our comfort zone and found The Townhouse in Durham. On arrival we were given a complimentary dish of warm pork crackling. The food was outstanding and so well cooked and presented. I had the vegetable soup to start with the tastiest homemade croutons I've ever tasted. I then had the regular beef which was so plentiful and tasty. The beef melted in the mouth and love the fact it came with cauliflower cheese at no extra cost. The vegetables and yorkshire pudding were cooked to perfection. The hubby had the large beef which was extra helpings of all of the aforementioned tasty offerings. And not forgetting the super friendly, attentive waitress who made us so welcome. I deliberately left my sunglasses on the table when I left so I can come back again next week. Highly recommend.

We stayed at the townhouse last night in the penthouse suite… we could not fault our stay, we were gutted we only booked one night. We booked on the blue light discount they had to offer. The staff are so accommodating, from organise the stay through messenger and organising treats for my partner birthday, they were really helpful. The two girls that greeted us on desk (one was trainee) could not fault them as well as the housekeeper we met on us departing, Very chatty and bubbly I’d book a stay again to see them. I love the decor of the place, loved how quirky it is. The penthouse suite was amazing, and the small touches topped it off. The best night sleep we had in a while waking up feeling refreshed. We are currently looking at staying again come summer as the place is self is lovely will definitely be telling everyone to go there well worth every penny. Thank you again for making our stay special .

Absolutely beautiful place, the room was amazing and the service amazing. I spoke with Wendy when I booked and I'd mentioned it was our anniversary and my birthday and there were lovely banners and baloons on the bed such a personal touch. The bed was super comfy and we even had breakfast in bed and the food was amazing . Can't wait to go back, loved the bath and the hot tub.

Whilst this is a beautiful hotel in a gorgeous location our experience was not a pleasant one. We have stayed before and so we’re really looking forward to it but it was spoilt by a flood from the room above during the night. We were woken by water coming through the ceiling above the bath area (we stayed in the hideaway room) and then the fire alarm was triggered. The young man immediately duty overnight was a a shocked as us and did go to investigate. After waiting up for an update we finally went back to bed and didn’t find out what happened until the morning. We had also booked a late checkout, good job as we hardly slept worrying about the possibility of the ceiling coming down. Unfortunately this was also ruined when we had to stop housekeeping entering our room.

This place was absolutely amazing to stay at, I stayed here with my partner to celebrate our recent engagement and we had to most amazing experience. We got served our breakfast in our room which was the most perfect way to end our stay. The staff were outstanding and very quirky. Which matched the amazing decor. The room we stayed in had its own private hottub and it was all lovely and clean. It was overall the best place I’ve stayed to date and we will definitely be staying again. Thankyou to all the staff for an amazing experience and a lovely relaxing place to stay.
