All rooms are very well equipped and furnished in a traditional style, but with all of the amenities expected for such a high class hotel. Some rooms overlook the river; all are medium in size and in very good condition. The hotel has two restaurants for dining, the relaxed Bowes Restaurant or the more formal County Restaurant which has been awarded 2 AA rosettes for fine dining. It is a traditional hotel dating from 1630. It has a Georgian facade and modern extension. Smart, traditional and welcoming, this lobby has a warm feel to make guests feel at home. There are excellent leisure facilities including swimming pool, sauna and steam room, multi gym and spa bath. All that Durham has to offer is in very easy reach. (BL 08/07)
