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 Marco Pierre White restaurant all retain their Victorian heritage whilst embracing contemporary popular culture, a nod to the city’s ancient history and bright future. Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar & Grill treats guests to signature steaks, timeless English and French 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.

"I had a very satisfying stay. On my journey from York to Edinburgh, I made a point of stopping for a night in Durham to experience the romance and elegance of a traditional English small town. This Hotel Indigo is converted from a historic local school, so from the facade to the corridors and even the rooms, the original style is beautifully preserved. The room was quite spacious and well-equipped, and the staff were all very warm and attentive. The breakfast was also excellent, a mix of buffet and à la carte. Overall, I was very happy. It would have been even better if the air conditioning in the room could have provided a bit more heat. I imagine we'll return to this charming town in a few years – looking forward to our next visit!"

At the 4-Star Beamish Hall Country House Hotel, BW Premier Collection you will find delightful accommodations, close to Newcastle upon Tyne and Durham. However, this classic country house hotel is a desirable destination in itself, set in a vast 24 acres of manicured gardens in the beautiful English countryside. The hotel boasts an 18th century stable block on site, that’s home to a pub, restaurant and microbrewery. The brewery produces eight premium quality ales and even offers tours explaining how these delicious ales go from keg to mouth. An Edwardian tearoom can also be found in the hotel, serving quintessentially British afternoon teas. For a little adventure in the countryside, the Beamish Wild Outdoor Adventure Park and High Ropes Course just so happens to be located in the hotel grounds, so why not test your nerve of the zip wires and Powerfan freefall. This 13th Century Country House hotel in Beamish has been lovingly restored to include all the modern comforts you could need. However, you can be rest assured it has not lost any of its traditional grandeur or heritage. There are stunning period features, including ornate ceilings, carved oak fireplaces, chandeliers, stained glass windows and a sweeping staircase. These elegant structures are found in all of the reception rooms, and simply must be taken advantage of for elegant weddings affairs. The dedicated team of wedding staff will do everything they can to ensure you day is just as perfect as the venue. At the Best Western, you’ll be just a 25 minute drive from Newcastle, a huge center for business, with a wealth of attractions and a bustling nightlife. Durham is also 25 minutes away so why not head to Romanesque Durham Cathedral and 13th-century Durham castle, waiting to be explored in this romantic city? Please note: guests with dinner included in their stay are entitled to a 3 course meal excluding steaks.

"Overall good, quiet and tidy, breakfast is delicious, the bar is good, snacks and wine are very good, the room has a particularly large shower, there is no small shower that can be taken down, but the water is great, we are a family trip, give me Ma Ma took a good-looking photo, the front desk lady is also very enthusiastic~"

This is a very traditional British hotel. The building itself feels steeped in history, and the staff are very much in the English style. The room was clean and tidy, and the soundproofing was good. The air conditioning was plenty warm enough in winter, though it was a bit noisy. The hotel is located right near the town center, just a few minutes' walk, allowing you to soak in the charm of a classic English town.
