Shap Wells Hotel

Shap Wells Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"A beautiful old hotel, with lovely bar and restaurant facilities. Bathroom in room could do with a slight upgrade and had a few spiders and couple of wasps in there - overall very clean though Staff were all very friendly. Evening meal was excellent and well priced. Breakfast was well stocked and had a good variety."

"Excellent hotel within walking distance of the city’s landmarks. Hotel staff were really friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and clean. Building was previously a Victorian County Hall and had been converted into a hotel to retain many of the outstanding features. Restaurant provided a wide selection of dishes, which were well presented and delicious. Will definitely return for future visits to Durham."

Langley Castle Hotel

Langley Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Having recently stayed at Langley Castle, I can honestly say this was one of the best hotel experiences I have had in a long time. My wife and I travel extensively, and it is rare that you find somewhere where you immediately 'feel at home'. This is largely due to the genuine and warm hospitality shown by all of the staff throughout our stay. On top of this the breakfast and service in the restaurant was outstanding and certainly befitting of such a special hotel. The tour of the castle is not to be missed either. Our room, which was in the main castle itself was very impressive with a magnificent 4 poster bed and had a real feel of grandeur. Despite having exposed stone walls the room was extremely clean and free from dust which must be a real challenge in such an old building. Overall, a wonderful stay and we will be back. Highly recommended."
