Theres a lot to be said for The Morritt Hotel and Spas superb location - at the gateway to the North Pennines area of outstanding natural beauty surrounded by the Teesdale countryside yet just off the A66 a 5-minute drive from the market town of Barnard Castle where The Bowes Museum houses world-class collections of European fine and decorative art. The splendidly preserved Raby Castle is also at The Morritts doorstep. The motoring-themed Garage Spa has everything you would expect from a 5-bubble retreat as rated by The Good Spa Guide a full range of thermal experiences and relaxation areas as well as 6 treatment rooms including a Rolls Royce couples suite. Dining is also a highlight with Gilroys Dining Room awarded a coveted 2 AA Rosettes for its exquisite food. Dickens bar and bistro offers a very different - but no less enjoyable - dining experience. Youll have to visit to find out more about The Morritts literary connections. Rooms start at classic and go all the way up to executive; free Wi-Fi satellite TV and exclusive The Garage Spa toiletries are provided as standard. Theres also free parking on-site. An award-winning country house hotel with an equally acclaimed restaurant and spa - its little wonder that The Morritt is a Classic British Hotel. A Classic British Hotel / CB. Stay inspired.

"A lovely traditional country house hotel. The public rooms were just what you expected, old world charm, the food excellent but the best asset  was the friendly and helpful staff. Unable to comment on bedrooms as we were in an accessible room which wasn’t great, good parking though. Needs attention to basic customer requirements, overall a great few days"

The Trinity Neighborhood. Newcomers, friends or just weary travelers step onto the set of history at Hotel Indigo® Durham, whilst you explore our ‘perfect little city’. Our boutique hotel is moments from the historic Durham City Centre; perfectly located for an adventure. With the magnificent university, castle and world renowned Durham Cathedral just a short stroll from our doors, you’ll be spoilt for choice. The stage for our Hotel Indigo is the former Durham University building ‘Old Shire Hall’, where you’ll find Victorian façade spills out into our ancient and romantic neighborhood laden with historic pubs, cozy cafes and spellbinding churches, or slip away into the surrounding countryside and sleepy villages. Throughout you will spot little nods to our UNESCO World Heritage. Our cocktail lounge, meeting room and The Chambers Kitchen and Bar all retain their Victorian heritage whilst embracing contemporary popular culture, a nod to the city’s ancient history and bright future. The Chambers Kitchen and Bar treats guests to prime cuts of steak, timeless English grill classics, and a selection of tasty cocktails; the perfect gathering for friends and family for afternoon tea. Our contemporary boutique hotel bedrooms blend perfectly with the city’s Norman ancestry combining technology, style and comfort, and many with stunning views of Durham Cathedral.

"We stayed here for two nights to visit the castle and national trust gardens. The town is small so the hotel is within distance to the train station and to the castle. Room is fine although lighting is slightly dim. We requested an extra lamp that was promptly provided. Breakfast was typical English breakfast served in a very nice historical part of the hotel. The toiletries provided in the bathroom were very good quality and smells lovely. Overall, a comfortable and pleasant stay."

"We really enjoyed our stay, the location is ideal and the grounds were beautiful and quiet! The staff were very friendly, welcoming and professional! The only downside was that our room had only one plug socket that we could use.....just not enough these days, even just for basic needs..... very poor unfortuneatly. Air conditioning would have been welcomed, we would therefore definitely avoid this Hotel in summer months for this reason alone. One other small irritant, our bathroom had a glass shelf above the sink which tilited heavily towards the sink, so we had to be very careful to ensure things didn't keep falling over. Our breakfasts were excellent (apart from the Omelettes), and the service staff were very welcoming....a great start to any day!"

Even though I'm a Marriott member, I often book Marriott hotels overseas through Ctrip because it's significantly cheaper than the Marriott app, usually saving me at least £50... This really shows how inflated Marriott's direct prices are. GHA, on the other hand, is the opposite; I almost never book through Ctrip because booking directly with GHA often gets me a two-category room upgrade, free breakfast, and executive lounge access by default. Durham – I apologize for my ignorance, but I only discovered this charming little town when I passed through it by train this time. I made a special trip to stay one night in Durham on my way back from Alnwick. Choosing the Delta Durham was undoubtedly a very smart decision. Outside my window, I had views of the old street, the bridge, and the castle. All the beautiful sights were within walking distance. For the train station, just Uber it, no need to think twice. This is an old building, so you shouldn't expect it to be like a modern office-building hotel; its location and views are paramount.
