“This Durham hotel, with its origins in 1815, has a prime spot near the River Wear and stands out for its dining, especially at the Cast Iron restaurant; I think its historical feel, combined with updated rooms, makes it a solid choice. Though some past visitors have mentioned issues like dated bathrooms and pricey parking, the central location and pet-friendly policy are definite advantages. Overall, it's a credible option if you're looking to explore Durham.”
