My stay at Durham Castle was a unique experience. The location offered breathtaking views of the cathedral and the castle itself, making the climb worthwhile. While the room was compact and the ensuite bathroom small, everything was immaculate, and the breakfast in the great hall was a highlight. However, access by car was challenging, so prepare for that. Overall, I found the ambiance and service quite commendable. 😊

Staying at Durham Castle was a unique experience, with its breathtaking views of the cathedral and charming medieval dining hall. The room was tidy, though compact. While the breakfast spread had delightful options, some elements were inconsistent, like the coffee machine being out of order and missing muesli. Overall, it felt special but had some room for improvement.
