Did the job for the reasonable price tag, bed was clean and comfortable and Durham centre a nice walk away from the property. We would consider staying again if on a budget.

Room ok bed comfortable staff friendly enough.
Main problem was the music in the pub downstairs reverberating until half past midnight followed by the revellers leaving until one o’clock

All I ask for is cleanliness, quiet, friendly service and a comfortable bed; I found them all at the Queen’s Head.

It was good for ehat i paid for the only thing was they said they had a kitchen but there was no microwave and the kitchen was essentially useless other than for getting water but no the room otherwise was fine and the location was near a Sainsbury's

The Pub was ideal for my needs as I was staying for a couple of nights to attend a Football match.It was a decent base for a drink at the end of each day after exploring Durham in the evenings.

Bedroom was very nice, smaller than expected but clean with everything we needed. Bathroom was lovely. Shame that they don’t make food there anymore, like advertised online.

Carpets were tatty and dirty, mirror was splattered in something. The bed side table was an safe with sicky back plastic on. The door to the room had clearly been forced open at some point and the key and door numbers don’t match ie I was in room 7 but keys had a fob on for room 17. The shared bathroom was dated and dirty so other than having to use the toilet I waited till I was home to shower. Yuck !
