“This boutique hotel, housed in a historic Georgian townhouse, distinguishes itself with individually decorated rooms, some featuring spa baths and private hot tubs. The central location places it within easy walking distance of Durham Cathedral and Castle. While its unique themes and intimate atmosphere appeal, attention to detail seems inconsistent, potentially affecting the overall experience.”
