If you're driving parking can be a problem. Although there is a visitor permit system it is not easy to park outside the guest house. It is well situated for the centre of town, most sites are within walking distance. Our room was well decorated, large, modern and well furnished. Bathroom was clean and modern with a walk-in shower but... More

Just what the doctor ordered. We wanted a quiet weekend away in a boutique B&B and Castle View Guest house ticked all the boxes. From the gorgeously decorated bedrooms to the fantastic hospitality & gourmet breakfast.Would definately come back again.

Visited friends in Durham, this is in a great central location. Rooms are beautifully furnished and very comfy beds. Hospitality was second to none. Will definitely be returning on our next visit.

We stayed here for my birthday on the 21/4/2012. This hotel Guest House was very cosey and really well decorated. It was situated in an ideal spot for what we wanted. Unfortunately, we didn't make breakfast during our stay as we forgot to set our alarms but the actual B&B was very warm and welcoming.

We have been traveling for 3 weeks in UK and have stayed in about 8 places some good and some bad. This was the best by far. Check their website it says it all.

I'm so glad to have this chance to share with others what a marvellous place the Castle View Guest House, Durham, is. I've stayed there on quite a few occasions now, and wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. Nothing is too much trouble for them. For instance, I was sitting out in their lovely garden, full of bright spring flowers,... More

Thank you so much Caroline for your kind review. It makes everything so much more worthwhile when we see a lovely response like this. Anne is very proud of her home made jams and marmalade , the problem being I tend to eat far to much of them with the resultant alteration to my would be sylph like figure. Please... More

This is a cracking guesthouse. It's just ticked all my boxes. Well done. At the time of staying they had just finished renovating my bedroom and it looked great. Just what Id hoped for really. Their website didn't really do it justice. This is more like a boutique hotel. Breakfast was just what an english breakfast should be and Im... More

We stayed here for 3 nights and it made our first trip to Durham even more memorable. We had one of the garden facing rooms which had a great view. The beds were really comfy and the room was a good size and very clean. I noted some of the other reviews regarding the small breakfasts but we didn't have... More
