Family hotels and homes in West Rainton

James was an excepcional host and the place was superb

Gloriously restored Victorian in the perfect blend of old and modern. The breakfast was totally gourmet. The chef was amazing. With a perfect vista of the cathedral. Truly a memorable experience.

We stopped there for the night. Very nice restaurant, quite generous portions and very serviceable staff. The hotel is brilliant. We had a superb room,very nicely decorated, excellent bed, very quiet we slept quite well. Here again, the staff was very nice and helpful.

Excellent room, exceptional service and tasty breakfast. Walking distance from city centre. Castle View meet and exceed all our expectations. Would recommend to anyone staying in Durham.

Comfortable and clean well presented property

The house had everything we needed. We stayed before but since the last time they made great additions like a mini pool table, games etc.

beautiful old farmhouse, with oak beams

The house is a little gem. We had booked another property initially, but the first host raised the prize as soon as we booked, so when we proceeded to cancel and search for another house, this little hideaway just came up. And it is exactly what is says and even more. The pictures on the website are exactly what you see in the house. The house appears to be recently renovated and to a high standard. Three bedrooms - one of them being ensuite (which we didn't realize until we got to the house), beautifully decorated and very elegant, all with double beds. The bathrooms are modern and with excellent water pressure too. The temperature in the house is controlled by a smart thermostat and you set the temperature accordingly, and coming from Cyprus, a warm house was a plus! The kitchen was fully equipped - kettle, toaster, microwave, big fridge-freezer, and it even had a Ninja airfryer. The large dining table in the kitchen doubled as office space, placed next to a nice window. We were also provided with teas, coffee and some nice biscuits. A selection of fragrant candles added to the homey atmosphere. The tv in the living room had all digital stations (more than a hundred channels) and Netflix. Indeed, so much though was put into preparing this house, that there was nothing that we missed, or nothing that we might need and was not available, to the minutest detail. The neighbourhood was quiet, and close to a big Tesco, as well as close to the university, with bus stops a couple of minutes away literally. Moreover, it is important to note that the communication with the owner was efficient and immediate, and whenever we wanted to ask something he was great..
