The hotel provides comfortable rooms in a decent location in Durham. Our stay however was plagued with several incidents involving rude staff. Each one in isolation seemed small, however the total sum made me think there was a wider problem. On arrival we were never informed the time of breakfast. A thorough search of the room also revealed no guide... More

The quality of the room was more than i expected for a B&B in a historic building. The carpet was new, the beds were very cosy and warm, the shower room newly installed and it was all lovely fresh and clean. Castle view is located within yards of the centre of Durham and is easy to get to from the... More

We stayed for one night, (Saturday) , the room was lovely, very clean and of a very high standard, lovely big shower and very comfortable bed. The only negative was some of the rowdy noise from the drunken people outside, so I would recommend ear plugs for a really good night sleep! ( the noise is the sacrifice you make... More

The Castle View guest house is ideally situated. A short walk from the bus station and from the Market Place, on a hill facing the cathedral and the castle. Fabulous views from the small church green just outside the house. Our room had a side view of a street, but pleasant enough, It was a large twin on the top... More

This was my first visit to Durham and this guest house had been recommended to me by a friend, and I wasn't disappointed. The location is great - very central and close to the cathedral with easy access from the train station. I stayed in a large, very comfortable room which had recently been refurbished to a very high standard.... More

I stayed here twenty years ago while visiting my sister at university and fell in love with the B&B and this city. Then as now the service was friendly and the breakfast superb, but now having had an obvious refurbishment you can add boutique feel to its traditional décor. Modernised without losing its original charms this B&B is located centrally... More

The hotel has been refurbished since the last time I stayed. The decor was really nice with a boutique feel The room was spotless and I was made to feel very welcome. The guest house is very close to the center of the city but has an extremely peaceful and quiet feel. Tea and coffee available and the breakfast excellent.... More
