Gregory
Good breakfast and convenient to the city sites. Pay parking on the streets, but not expensive. Only small cars fit in spaces close by.
Rodney
Absolute worst. I couldn’t make the reservation and tried canceling prior and was fully declined any refund or credit. Even though they weren’t full booked they flat out refused anything. Karma comes around
Marc
Fabulous stay and wonderful hosts.
Helana
Beautiful, large bedroom, comfortable bed, stunning view. Everything spotlessly clean. Exceptional bathroom. There was a problem with the toilet which was sorted by the time I came back from my day out and about. Friendly breakfast servers. I asked for more milk for my room, which they happily provided. Parking in the street wasn't an issue, costing £18 per day. Great location.
graham
Beautifully decorated throughout the entire building!
Carolyn
Very good breakfast and large rooms
Sarah
Absolutely outstanding guest house - I was really impressed from the moment I arrived. The room was enormous and very comfortable, with everything I needed. It was the perfect temperature and almost unnervingly quiet and peaceful. The bed was very comfortable and everything was spotless. Breakfast was great, and the owners were very accommodating.
John
Nice property. Clean and very close to all things in central Durham. Plenty of good places to eat nearby. Breakfast was good, but fairly basic.
Elaine
Perfect hotel for our weekend break.
Loved the hotel decor. Lovely clean room. Great staff. Great location for event at the Cathedral. Lovely cooked breakfast to order, red hot. Definitely would stay here again, we loved it.
Lisen
It was just for 1 night but we loved your B&B. Very warm and welcoming. Thank you!
Derek
Brilliant location
The best location to visit the city - 5 minutes walk. The room was very good and the breakfast excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We travelled by train. We went by bus to Beamish using the local bus app. Crook Hall gardens, the Cathedral and the castle all worth visiting and in easg walking distance. We plan to visit again.
Steven
Spot on no complaints whatsoever everything was perfect 👍

Delightful accommodation. Thanks so much
Paul
Warm, inviting & friendly Guest House.
Once I found the hotel all was good. The postcode took me straight to it, but it's difficult to see it as it's high up to your left side on a one way street.
Parking is available opposite the hotel but the road is quite narrow & the cars are parked at around 37 degrees outside a few working men's clubs.
The Hotel will provide a token for parking, but after checking I used my disability card which meant I was parked for free the few days we stayed.
The rooms are bright & fresh, the beds are comfortable & clean as the room & hotel is.
Breakfast was served at the time we asked & was just right to start the day, thanks to the staff who did this for us.
The hotel is very neatly sited for all areas of the town & cathedral. Although the walk up the one way street isn't a pushover by any means.
Would definitely visit the hotel again, give them a try you won't be disappointed.

City break in Durham.
Clean, comfortable bed and room; welcoming and friendly staff; lovely cooked breakfast, not overloaded and enough choice too; room had view of cathedral and castle. Thought the standard of accommodation was comparable to a good hotel.
Only a couple of minutes walk from city centre
Thanks for a lovely stay.

Great place to stay.
We stayed for 1 night on the way to Newcastle. The location is great right in the centre, and we couldn't fault the room or service. Great place to stay. Thank you for the hospitality.

Enjoyable stay
Lovely guest house in a great location
Edward
Lovely centrally located guest house, friendly owners. Very nice rooms and breakfast. Fourth time I’ve stayed there. Street parking can be difficult, even with a permit provided by the owners, unless you arrive fairly early or late.
Frank
Charming
Johanne
This was our second stay at the hotel, we have family in the area and this is very convenient to their house and city. Very clean room and spotless bathroom. Breakfast was very nice and tasty. We did report a leak from the radiator as the carpet was wet when we left in Room 1, hopefully that will be sorted out . That was the only issue , we will be back again next time we’re in the UK visiting our family.
PHILIPPA
The property was lovely: immaculate, comfortable and in a great location.
Our arrival was marred by the fact there was noone to let us in although it was after the check in time. We waited for about 30 minutes during which time we called the property number to.no avail. Eventually a man ambled towards us and without greeting us, introducing himself or apologising let us in. It became apparent that he was the son of the owner and he didn't know where she was. Our booking details were incorrect and although I had proof he argued repeatedly about it. We had booked 2 double rooms, one each for 2 people. He insisted the booking was for one double for one person and a twin for 2 people. Then he couldn't find the key to one of the rooms. He was rude when we asked about parking. We both thought that in the morning the owner might speak to us at breakfast, perhaps apologise for what had happened. No sign of her! The breakfast was very nice although my friend was surprised to see only one mushroom on her full English plate. Abd before you ask, it wasn't a big one. All in all, a lovely place with a very peculiar attitude to customers.

Amazing location and view
Amazing location - very convenient to the Durham sites. Can see the castle and cathedral from the hotel. Very clean and up to date. Comfortable as well. Parking was free from 6 pm to 8 am on the street next to the hotel.

Perfect location for a trip to Durham
Castle View is a very unique property within 5 minutes walk of the centre of Durham and in a quiet setting. Our bedroom was extremely comfortable and well equipped and we had a lovely view of the Cathedral as well as the Castle. We were able to get in early to our room which was unexpected and really helpful and able to leave our bags for a few hours after we checked out.
Breakfast had to be ordered by 9pm the night before but there were plenty of options and was plentiful.
Both Anne and Zara were very friendly and very helpful.
We couldn't have booked a better place for our stay.

Lovely Guest House
Lovely Guest House, comfortable and clean, very close to city. Only drawback - parking is in main one-way street, chargeable and not too easy to drive to.
Manuel
Great Place to Stay
Very impressed with the Castle View Guest House. Well appointed establishment and big comfortable room. Only 5 mins walking distance to City Centre amenities. The breakfast was a very nice typical Full English but other choices available too. Only drawback is the parking as you have to use street parking pay meters. Overall well impressed and will definitely stay again perhaps in the warmer months so that we could enjoy the city sight seeing better.

Short overnight stay at Castle View Guest house
Very nice place, beautiful rooms, great view to Durham Castle, great breakfast, thoroughly recommend
MathTeacher
Very close to downtown. Parking right in front of the house. wonderful English breakfast and very friendly staff.
Verified traveler
The Castle view is well located and the breakfast was terrific. Location is perfect. The mattress tilted to one side which made sleeping a little difficult. This is a lovely old building and the tilting mattress may have been do to the floor tilting. The bed needed to be propped up on one side. The bathroom and bedroom where spacious.
