Best Brandon and Byshottles Hotels

Advantages: beautiful environment, open the door is the endless field, classic English country cottage, bedding is very comfortable, toiletries are complete. There is free milk coffee juice bread, eggs, cereals and other breakfast. Disadvantages: The location is too remote, the room is poorly soundproofed, and you can hear footsteps and coughs. Overall suitable for people with cars, free parking in the front yard.

Gorgeous building based on a century old stone house. Newly refurbished. Plenty of parking space. Bar and Indian restaurant on site is very nice. However the food was too sweet to my taste.

This is a great place to stay! The staff are very kind and helpful, the rooms are wonderful - lots of power points in useful places! - and the location is lovely, close to the railway station, a short walk into the centre and some beautiful riverside walks. I’ll definitely be back.

Was not my first choice but booked this hotel for my graduation at Durham University since all other hotels are fully booked. The hotel is relatively old but clean and has all the amenities needed (including an iron and the ironing board). Nice and friendly staff at the reception, who kindly assisted with the printing of some documents. Good location because it is within walking distance from the Durham Cathedral and the campus

No WiFi in the hotel

Wonderful hotel! The location was perfect for visiting the city, just a hop over the bridge to get to the centre. The room was really spacious with a large bed, sofa and coffee table, desk, and plenty of room in between. There was a kettle and tea/instant coffee as well as a Nespresso machine, and a mini fridge, which came in very handy for cooling drinks. The bathroom was clean and had a good layout with a shower screen over the tub (no spills!) and plenty of soap holders. There was also lush This Works shampoo and conditioner and really nice shower gel. It felt much more luxurious than we expected - even providing bath robes and slippers. We had a second floor room with a cathedral view (we could hear the bells!), overlooking the road outside. Traffic calmed down at night and did not disturb our sleep, and the hotel was quiet overall. The room had been cleaned well, but there were slight oversights: the front of the desk and coffee maker handle, for example, showed historic spills; the window (with modern additional pane to create double glazing) had other guests' forehead- and nose prints on them (we discovered ourselves how easy it is to be taken in by the view, lean forward, and forget that there's a window there...), but the bathroom, bed, and floors were absolutely hygienic and we felt comfortable nevertheless. Staff were lovely, welcoming and helpful. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay!

It is very suitable for family outings, with a convenient location in the city center. There are many restaurants around, and you can explore the entire city on foot. It will definitely be one of the first choices if you never go there again.
