40 Winks Hospitality

40 Winks is an outstanding hospitality experience offering boutique bed and breakfast in sumptuous surroundings in the historic Durham city. The service from George , Daisy and team was excellent. The staff are super friendly and go above and beyond to create an exciting and memorable experience. The accommodation is top end with high attention to luxurious touches, exceptional comfort and elegant design. The new, very comfortable bar had just opened when we stayed and the cosy woodburner made our cocktail evenings very special. 40 Winks has stunning views overlooking the Cathedral, situated on the elevated historic road above the river. We were able to walk quickly down into the city. It's a perfect location for a relaxing city break.

40 winks is certainly what we had here. Not often attainable in most B&Bs and small hotels. If you wish to visit Durham and choose a place to stay this is the hotel. Great staff, food, ambiance, and after a great nights sleep in possibly the most comfortable bed ive slept in, you open those curtains to the most wonderful site of the Cathederal. A wonderful experience and credit to the staff.

An absolute delight beautifully decorated breakfast wholesome and plentiful good selection staff very friendly and welcoming the manger was very helpful and and friendly we will be back a gem of a place if in Durham it’s a must stay cathedral view amazing

The hotel is beautifully decorated and the location is great for the city centre as it’s a short walk (there is a hill on the walk back up but this isn’t too bad). Hotel staff were very accommodating by allowing early check in and having a balloon, Prosecco and chocolates in the room for my birthday which my mum had rang ahead to organise. Only disappointment was that our room did not have a bath, the pictures seemed to indicate that all rooms have a bath which I was really looking forward to. Breakfast was great. Parking on the street outside is a bit pricey but this was fine.

This is a great place to stay, but we especially loved the staff: George, Cecelia, Daisy and Ellie. Thank you again for making us feel so welcome! The hotel is very luxurious and clean. The interiors of the rooms and general areas look like the inside of a design magazine!
