Although the hotel isn't bad on the hole, we were given a room over the pools generator. It pumped away 24 hours a day. The noise was unbearable at night.

This was a 3 night all inclusive break costing £119.00 pp. and was our first time at the hotel. The staff are brilliant, very helpful and friendly. My favourite was Nikki who works behind the bar. The all inclusive means 4 free drinks per day plus a glass of wine with your evening meal. There was entertainment on Friday and... More

This hotel is some way away from Durham, but is quite easy to find for those who are self drive. If you are going to stay here, you should either be on a bus trip or have your own transport. The room we were allocated was spacious and clean and tidy. The bathroom was a little dark and the mirror... More

Great facilities, clean room, good service in the restaurant and the bar was (even under the added pressure of a large party of wonderful, funny, boisterous,... More

We spent an enjoyable New Year at this hotel. We were self drive, but without a car there is very little round the hotel, though buses do stop right outside except New Years Day. The hotel is old with some creaky floorboards, but that gives it character. The swimming pool was closed when we arrived, but reopened in time for... More

Just returned home after 3 days at the Eden Arms and I must say that my wife and I very nearly did not go, because of some of the reviews. This was our first break with shearings and we have never stayed at the hotel before. It was my wifes birthday so this was really her treat. We both thoroughly... More
