Great place to stay

The hotel is well situated from Durham city, about 10-15 minutes drive to either The Riverwalk or Walkergate very central car parks. The family room (3 people) was comfortable, cleaned every day and spacious. The hotel has a great Thai restaurant and pub/bar (food and drinks in both areas, affordable prices). The staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Reliable, warm and friendly

Used Highfield many times. Always reliable with super staff. Room was big and warm with giant comfy bed. Just be aware that road noise from the A690 is constant unless you’re in the odd-numbered rooms, as they are at the back of the hotel and are super quiet.
