Castle View Guesthouse

Castle View ticked all the right boxes. Very comfortable beds. The big cushions on top were great to rest on after a long day out and about. Modern, clean bathrooms. Very quiet. Superb location between the station and the city centre. Decent breakfast to cap it off

Lovely big room, quiet location near to the station, excellent breakfast.

We stayed for 1 night on the way to Newcastle. The location is great right in the centre, and we couldn't fault the room or service. Great place to stay. Thank you for the hospitality.

Stayed at castle view for 2 nights ,we arrived earlier than the 4pm stated check in time but this wasn't a problem at all, we had a ground floor room (room 1),the room was beautifully decorated with plenty of storage space ,hairdryer was in room and ironing facilities were also available on request .Breakfast was reordered with plenty of choice,the food was of a very high standard too with locally sourced produce I suspect , you could pick what time you wanted to eat between 8am -9am ,the dining room was decorated to a very high standard ,the staff were welcoming and couldn't do enough for you ,I would highly recommend the castle view without a shadow of a doubt .The guesthouse was on a steep hill but that was the only negative .

Everything about Castle view is first class. Beautifully styled & decorated, and ideally situated for the old part of the city. The room we had was very spacious & comfortable with a really high end bathroom. Would definitely recommend & will be staying here again.

We stayed at Church View Guest House for 2 nights and what a good choice it was. Arrived before 4pm check in time but were not able to gain access. Returned at 4pm and this time the door was answered by a gentleman who didn’t introduce himself (looked more surprised if anything). The room was excellent and very clean, my only bug bear is that the bathroom door should have a hook to hang dressing gowns which are provided. Breakfast was excellent cooked by a lovely young man called Marcel who couldn’t do enough and was very helpful. Will definitely stay here again if I visit Durham again.

Perfect stay. Excellent location, well thought out comfortable room, marvellous breakfast, very friendly. If I were to return to Durham I would certainly want to stay at Castle View again. Easy walking distance to every place we wanted to visit.

Lovely welcome from friendly people. Comfy beds and no plastic mattress covers! Room was spacious and beautifully decorated with lots of space for clothing etc. The shower was excellent, lots of hot water. Breakfast well cooked and delicious. The guesthouse is just a few minutes walk from the centre and the views were lovely. There is a rather steep hill to climb up to property as Durham is a very hilly place! But there are benches placed strategically if you need a breather, and you can always pretend that you're looking at the scenery! I would happily return to this guesthouse.

Lovely guest house in a great location
