OYO The Townhouse

Great little boutique hotel in a great location with nearby parking. Under new management when we stayed who were really welcoming. All staff were really friendly too, nothing too much trouble. We stayed in the cruise room which was a welcome change to the Bland rooms you often get at mainstream establishments.

Staff very welcoming and friendly in particular Wendy. The room was really cosy. The bed was very comfortable and the feature bath (Azzurri room) was great. The bar was really good with Wendy showing her bar tending skills.

Lovely Georgian building ideally situated in the city, quiet street but short walk across the bridge to shops, bars and cafes We recieved a friendly welcome upon arrival from lady on reception and were given the keys to our room in the Bjoux loft room. Albeit on the small side, (clue is in the name loft), it was perfect for a short stay as a couple. The room features a comfortable Queen size bed, wardrobe, kettle, electric fan and a modern en suite with walk in shower. Rooms are tastefully decorated and very clean and also had air con which we were grateful for given the balmy summer evening it was when we stayed! There are two sash windows (cannot open but didnt need to) with nice views of Durham cathedral in the distance which overlooks the city There is a cute little bar next to the reception where we had a drink in the afternoon, and to the rear of the property there is a restaurant and small beer garden though we didnt use it during our stay.

The property is so quirky! The outside doesn’t do it much justice, whilst plain outside, it really does open your eyes when you walk in. Mix of modern and vintage. The Bijoux Loft was lovely, very low ceilings! So mind your head and no overly tall people. Really welcoming staff and very homely. A great stay!

The decor was keeping to buildings history. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. The room was comfortable and relaxing.
