Castle View Guesthouse

很好的家庭旅館，早餐很英式，服務很好，下次來還住他家，就是房間少，不好訂。

My daughter and I greatly enjoyed our stay at the Castle View Guest House this past June, 2024. It's location is as close as you can get to the University and the Cathedral, shops, and dining. Room was very comfortable - breakfast was good with ample portions for my daughter and I. We only stayed one night as we were heading north to Northumberland for the bulk of our vacation but will return and stay longer. The only "nit" - not the fault of the proprietors - is parking - not unexpected due to the close proximity to the town center. As a yank driving - backing up to park in the tight and very infrequently available parking spaces across the street from the Guest House was challenging. It took me about an hour circling the block for an end of row spot to open that I could easily get my car into. A tip - at least what I did - was buy 24 hours parking from the conveniently located pay station rather than use the 3 hour pass provided by the guest house - 18 pounds - well worth it as no hassle or worries from the ever present parking enforcement officers.

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

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 .

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.
