Can't recommend highly enough for a short stint

Comfortable rooms, great breakfast, with generous coffee and tea options that made my stay pleasant and convenient just a short drive from the nearest airport.

Everything was exceptional.

A clean and comfortable stay with a warm atmosphere, featuring a delightful bar with friendly locals. The full English breakfast was a highlight, offering a satisfying start to the day. The hosts provided great tips for local walks and ensured a pleasant experience overall.

A stay here offers excellent value, with a friendly welcome and a fantastic full cooked breakfast. The room was small but impeccably clean and warm, though a shared bathroom might be challenging when fully occupied. Located about a 30-minute walk from the city center, the area appears a bit grittier at night, which may deter nighttime exploration.

Perfect for a casual getaway

Good value for 65 quid, the breakfast was excellent, generous portions, well cooked! I really appreciated the warm welcome. It felt like a local pub where everyone knows each other.

Wasn't exactly cheap, but it was acceptable nonetheless.

Immaculate shared bathroom with surprisingly good conditions despite being communal.

Had a fantastic time with friendly locals and enjoyed a chat over cold Guinness in a comfy, clean room.

The stay at Gilesgate Moor had its ups and downs. The twin room I booked was quite clean and comfortable, with ample space for our things. I loved that parking was available right outside, making it super convenient. The location, while a bit out of the main town, allowed for a quiet evening. Walking into the city took about 30 minutes, but the scenic route across the countryside was delightful. The breakfast exceeded my expectations. it was hearty and delicious. Staff interactions were also positive, thoughtful and ready to assist. the room could benefit from some modernization as the decor felt a bit outdated. the shared bathroom situation was occasionally inconvenient, especially during busy morning hours. There was also a slight issue with some noise from outside, which could disrupt a peaceful night’s rest. A few maintenance details needed attention too, like some flickering lights.

Charming Atmosphere with Friendly Locals

Had a wonderful stay! The clean bedroom offered a cozy retreat after a day exploring Durham. Enjoyed breakfast, especially the hearty portions, and shared great conversations with locals at the pub bar. Be sure to check the bar hours, as evening meals aren't available.

Charming, Cozy, Charming

I had the best time sipping coffee in my cozy room after a delicious breakfast! The breakfast was nothing short of outstanding—think hearty, homemade cooked options that warmed my soul. Plus, the local pub vibe made it feel like I was part of the neighborhood, truly a gem!

100% recommend 😊❤️

The local pub atmosphere provided a unique charm, making it feel like a community hub. Nearby shopping convenience at a large retail park made it easy to grab last-minute essentials or snacks.

Rooms were small and felt outdated, lacking inviting decor and adequate workspace. Noise from the busy main road could be significant, especially at night, disrupting a peaceful sleep. Limited dining options in the immediate area also posed a challenge. takeout was the only choice, which isn’t ideal after a long day. Breakfast was available, but the absence of evening meals was a letdown. Arrangements could be improved with better bathroom facilities, as shared bathrooms offered less privacy than preferred, and inconsistent local bus service left a lot to be desired if you wanted to explore the city.

I enjoyed my stay at Gilesgate Moor in Durham. The location allowed easy access to the city, while the breakfast exceeded my expectations with generous portions. hearing some road noise at night was a slight downside. a well-rounded experience.

gilesgate moor is perfectly located near a tesco extra and a 24-hour mcdonald's, making it super convenient. my single room was tidy and equipped well, and the shared bathroom was very clean. A standout was the breakfast. it was the best english breakfast experience I've had. the host was incredibly kind and helpful during my stay.

totally recommend.

An Unforgettable Stay with Great Local Vibes!

We spent two nights here and felt right at home. The locals at the pub bar made our evenings enjoyable and the substantial breakfast set us up for the day. Don't miss the separate shower and toilet—both were immaculate!
