We stayed at Farnley Tower guest house as we were going to the Cathedral for a concert. We were greeted by the manageress who was extremely helpful and friendly and supplied us with a lot of useful information about the area We were in a beautiful room (12) overlooking the cathedral and surrounding countryside. There was plenty of free parking and the breakfast was lovely- would definitely stay again

The only drawback at the time of my visit was a boiler issue resulting in a lack of hot water for a shower. This was rectified quickly and just bad luck! Hardly a hardship. A word if you are over about 5ft 6, the attic room will present issues. I’m taller than that and was offered the choice of two further rooms but stayed in the attic anyway. Lovely room with a great view; couldn’t resist but you do have to watch your head!

Great location with parking. Walking distance to town centre and a view of the Durham landmarks. The Host! Decor. Character building.

The location was lovely, just outside of the city centre in a quiet residential area. The room was very comfortable and well equipped. The breakfast was good too. There is also an Indian restaurant on site which we used - it was one of the best Indian meals I've ever had.

Gorgeous property with loads of character. We stayed in the family room which was exceptionally spacious. Breakfast was lovely, good quality in a warm and stylish setting. Staff couldn’t do enough to help. Location was great - just a lovely lovely stay.

Just a few wear and tear issues noted in room

Annette is a great host, very friendly & attentive. The property has some unique but really nice features with a great location. On site restaurant is very nice.

Stayed in March 2024

Bed not queen size as advertised, and mattress very bouncy. Decoration all a bit sad.

Breakfast very good. Cheerful welcome.

The bed is really comfortable, nice breakfast. Walking around 12min to the city center, need 20min to the hotel because of the up hill.
