Scopri il tuo soggiorno a Bowburn

This is the second time we've stayed at the bowburn hall hotel. Our first visit was lovely in a large room with a stand alone bath. This time though we were disappointed. We booked for 3 couples in 3 seperate rooms. Our room ( number 10) was unbelievably tiny, certainly not what was shown on the pictures when we booked it. At £116 for the night id expect much better facilities. You could barely get around the bed, there was no dressing table and only 1 accessible double plug at the bottom of the bed. The other 2 were covered by bedside tables. The bathroom door was only 70% frosted so you could see if anybody was using the toilet. The mirror was on the inside of the single wardrobe meaning my wife had to sit on the floor to do her makeup in the mirror. The bathroom was absolutely tiny and I could pull the plug out of the sink and bath at the same time as using the toilet. We were quite disappointed as my wife had organised the whole night so we could get together with some friends. One other couple stayed in the room next door to us which was only slightly better while another couple we were with were upgraded to a large room free of charge. We all ended up in the bigger room to have a few drinks as 2 people were too much in our room. Staff were polite and the breakfast was nice but I don't think we will be returning purely down to how small of a room they gave us.

房間裝修的很現代，而且乾淨整潔。位置很好，在服務區裏面，旁邊還有麥當勞，酒店前台就有 costa。唯一不太滿意的就是房間是恆温設定的空調，有點響，而且温度有點低，空調是前台控制的，小房間裏空調自動模式一直吹涼風，半夜下去找前台調整，前台態度很好，幫忙調整了加熱模式。但晚上整體温度不算高

Food in restaurant wasn't really good

Stayed at the townhouse Durham for a girls weekend away and what a beautiful stay we had indeed! Our hot tub room “Le Jardin” was clean, comfortable and gorgeous. It was exactly what we needed to escape from reality for a couple of nights ! The staff couldn’t have been any better ! With such a welcoming atmosphere they were all so friendly and attentive and made sure we had a great time! We will definitely be coming back here!

If you're picky, this probably isn't the place for you but if you're more the straightforward, no-nonsense type, it ticks all the boxes that matter. My room was clean and tidy, the bed comfortable and the breakfast kept me sated until late afternoon. If you have dietary requirements, though, you'll have to speak up. I was simply asked what time I'd like breakfast. There was no mention of options, vegan needs etc. I simply finished my toast and cereal and a glorious full English was put in front of me. My only dietary requirement is 'generous portions', so this approach worked perfectly for me but it won't suit everyone. The gentleman serving breakfast was a man of few words. Not rude or stand-offish, just reserved. If you loathe morning people and small talk in equal measure like I do, you'll love him. And as for the night before, don't worry about being away from the city centre. There's a Sainsburys and Vietnamese restaurant within easy walking distance, so you won't starve. The final plus point for me was the price of £43. £40-£50 cheaper than more central alternatives in a city that seems to think it's Kensington. I would definitely stay at The Shoes again.

Camera spaziosa, grazioso angolo cottura e sistemazione semplice. La camera era un po' stanca e puzzava di muffa, ma molto pulita e ho dormito bene. Il check-in è stato abbastanza semplice al bar e il personale del bar era molto gentile. Nelle immediate vicinanze si possono prendere diversi autobus e il centro città è a circa 10 minuti (£ 2 per la corsa singola o £ 4 per l'abbonamento giornaliero). Ci tornerei :)

The hotel was great. Very friendly staff, clean room, delicious breakfast and beautiful interiors. I’d love to choose here if I was coming back to Durham again!!
