Lovely traditional English guest house hotel. Simple arrival and check out, good breakfast with great options (menu choice, vegan, veggie, gf etc). Friendly staff, comfy bed (my ‘single’ was a small double) and no noisy air con/heating systems etc. A steep walk up from the city centre but not too far and no problem for me.

Fantastic service and breakfast. Very large rooms, and good location although steep walk into town. Bed was a little soft for us. Shower curtain is a bit dated- would prefer a screen

Lovely old building full of character in a fabulous setting.Could do with a little tlc. Staff were excellent and Anna was fabulous. Was so welcoming and friendly and such a hard worker. The place was very clean and tidy. The bedroom was very large and had everything laid out for us when we got there. The on-site Indian restaurant was a real bonus. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

Lovely people, flawless hospitality, great food. My friend who slept on the floor said her bed was uncomfortable, but that is a small thing in a lovely visit. Would absolutely return.

Tv reception wasn't very good with minimal channels. Fire doors in corridors need soft close hinges on them. Constant slamming of door 5 foot from my headboard kept me from sleeping.

This was our Anniversary weekend, and a Friend recommended Farnley Tower to us. We weren't disappointed. We actually got an upgrade and had an amazing view of the Cathedral.

Lovely welcoming guesthouse
This guest house is a little gem. . In a quiet area of Durham, just a 10 minute walk to the centre but be warned it is uphill on the walk back! We stayed two night in Room 3 which was very spacious and ground floor. Beds so comfortable and room very clean. Great choice for breakfast and nobody will leave hungry . Anna the manager gives 💯 % nothing is too much trouble for her . We will definitely stay again when we return to Durham.

Although at the top of a very steep hill this is an excellent property. Breakfast is beyond expectation. We were lucky to have a ground floor room. No view but very comfortable. An exceeding amount of tea,coffee etc. All in all very recommendable

Everything was good. The hotel was nice and clean, room was nice and had the amenities you would expect for the price paid. Breakfast was also very good. A 10 to 15 minute walk got you to the river (all downhill) then a little further uphill if you are aiming for the cathedral. Overall very nice and would stay here again.

Lovely overnight stay
Lovely overnight stay. Very welcoming. Check-in and check-out were straightforward, the bed was very comfortable, the breakfast choice was great and my cooked meal was lovely. The only thing I'd recommend is replacing the hair-dryers, the one in my room kept cutting out and took awhile to cool down before I could briefly try to use again. Other than that I feel the hotel went the extra mile and looked after me very well, couldn't be nicer.
