Fantastic little place to stay! Sarah & James were more than welcoming. I spent my evening watching the football with them both and the locals of the area. Had such a laugh! I was in the area on business and the room catered for everything I needed. The Wi-Fi was good and allowed me to set my laptop up and work from the room easily. The room was clean and comfortable and a perfect size for my short stay. In the morning I had a full English cooked by Sarah, it was absolutely spot on! Will stay again when I next visit the North East.

Not so much a dislike, but more something to look forward to. As they do not currently serve food in the evening, I went out to the retail park which was a 2 minute walk away. Sarah & James suggested they were looking to do evening food in the near future. Based on the breakfast, I will look forward to my next visit with a home cooked meal.

Sarah and James are very welcoming. The twin room was tidy and clean. Only one thing, the mattresses are a little lumpy and hard. Maybe could have done with a mattress topper on. The bathroom was clean with fresh clean towels everyday. The breakfast was a selection of cereal, yoghurt and fresh fruit, pastries, toast and a hearty cooked breakfast. You could ask for anything and it would be no trouble at all. Considering they have only just taken over a few weeks previously, the place was great with a relaxed atmosphere and great locals to match. We had somewhere to secure and store our bikes aswell. Lots of cycle routes around the area. We had a peaceful sleep also.

Lovely little hotel recently taken over and still in the early stages of stamping their identity on it. Bar was well stocked and very reasonably priced. At the time of our visit food was restricted to breakfast (which was very good) and sunday lunch but they are in the process of expanding. I'd like to come back and give that a go.

Windows in the room were very badly fitted and didn't close, it was a very cold and windy night, so a roll of gaffa tape later and the breeze was gone. I believe this is in hand.

The room was a good size, clean and well decorated. It had a TV and coffee making facilities. I liked being in a pub and having a last drink before bed :) The main positive comment I'd have is about the staff. The owner/manager and his family were lovely and went out of their way to help.

My room wasn't en suite, but this wasn't much of an inconvenience. It as a separate bathroom across the hall, which was for my sole use. However I did find another guest in there one morning. (I guess a sign on the door might be a good idea so guests don't think it's communal.). Other rooms are en suite I believe. Something to consider when choosing a room if this is important to you. The hotel isn't in the centre. It's about a 25 min walk, but there are buses.

James and Sarah are outstanding hosts. I was welcomed as soon as I walked in and that welcome extended for the length of my stay. The ambience in the hotel is wonderful, warm, friendly, homely and clean. The food is excellent but the hospitality in this Pub/Hotel was exceptional. James and Sarah work so well as a team and are always working to provide everything is done for their customers. They are also great company. I was sorry to leave but have promised to return.

I had a fantastic stay at Gilesgate Moor Hotel. Graham & Wendy were fantastic hosts. Very friendly and accommodating. Graham gave me a great tip regarding a lovely walk back into Durham through the countryside that met up with the riverside walk into town. The breakfasts were fantastic, pot of tea, orange juice, brown toast, porridge and full fry. A plate of scrambled eggs and a late check out from a clean, comfortable room on the Sat morning before I ran the Durham parkrun was really appreciated.

Nothing. I honestly cant think of anything negative to say about my stay. It was first class! Graham & Wendy said that they will be retiring on May 31st. Whoever takes over the hotel will have a really hard act to follow!

I recieved a lovely warm welcome when I arrived. Sarah and her family were very helpful and friendly. Everything was lovely and clean and the breakfast was great. My bed was very comfy and I only knocked a star off because the duvet was thin,though the room was plenty warm enough. There was road noise because of the location, but for 2 star accommodation this is excellent.

There was nothing that I didn't like. Only a thicker duvet would be nice 😁

Sarah and James are lovely, and nothing was too much bother. Location for us was good for the things we wanted to do during our stay. Durham is only a shot distance away and is a lovely little city. You are close to lots of amenities. Close to the A1. Our room was clean and we had clean towels every day and an offer from Sarah to change our bed mid stay.

There is nothing in particular we didn't like.

I arrived at around 10:20pm and was greeted with a smile by the owner. Was shown to the room. Great value for money. Comfy beds and heating on. Toasty comfy nights sleep. I didn't have the breakfast as I don't eat breakfasts. However there were plenty of people sat eating their's and they all seemed quite happy about it.

All was good

Hospitality was great and breakfast was perfect. Room was adequate and was only somewhere to kip the night before sons graduation.

Nothing is particular. There was a leak in one of the rooms but didnt affect our stay When we arrived there was an issue with the booking. We booked 2 rooms but the proprietors though it was a duplicate booking so cancelled one. Fortunately they did have a spare room. We did panic for a min but we were given a free drink.
