We stayed for 1 night on the way to Newcastle. The location is great right in the centre, and we couldn't fault the room or service. Great place to stay. Thank you for the hospitality.

The property was lovely: immaculate, comfortable and in a great location. Our arrival was marred by the fact there was noone to let us in although it was after the check in time. We waited for about 30 minutes during which time we called the property number to.no avail. Eventually a man ambled towards us and without greeting us, introducing himself or apologising let us in. It became apparent that he was the son of the owner and he didn't know where she was. Our booking details were incorrect and although I had proof he argued repeatedly about it. We had booked 2 double rooms, one each for 2 people. He insisted the booking was for one double for one person and a twin for 2 people. Then he couldn't find the key to one of the rooms. He was rude when we asked about parking. We both thought that in the morning the owner might speak to us at breakfast, perhaps apologise for what had happened. No sign of her! The breakfast was very nice although my friend was surprised to see only one mushroom on her full English plate. Abd before you ask, it wasn't a big one. All in all, a lovely place with a very peculiar attitude to customers.

This was our second stay at the hotel, we have family in the area and this is very convenient to their house and city. Very clean room and spotless bathroom. Breakfast was very nice and tasty. We did report a leak from the radiator as the carpet was wet when we left in Room 1, hopefully that will be sorted out . That was the only issue , we will be back again next time we’re in the UK visiting our family.

Amazing location - very convenient to the Durham sites. Can see the castle and cathedral from the hotel. Very clean and up to date. Comfortable as well. Parking was free from 6 pm to 8 am on the street next to the hotel.

Castle View is a very unique property within 5 minutes walk of the centre of Durham and in a quiet setting. Our bedroom was extremely comfortable and well equipped and we had a lovely view of the Cathedral as well as the Castle. We were able to get in early to our room which was unexpected and really helpful and able to leave our bags for a few hours after we checked out. Breakfast had to be ordered by 9pm the night before but there were plenty of options and was plentiful. Both Anne and Zara were very friendly and very helpful. We couldn't have booked a better place for our stay.

Lovely Guest House, comfortable and clean, very close to city. Only drawback - parking is in main one-way street, chargeable and not too easy to drive to.

Very impressed with the Castle View Guest House. Well appointed establishment and big comfortable room. Only 5 mins walking distance to City Centre amenities. The breakfast was a very nice typical Full English but other choices available too. Only drawback is the parking as you have to use street parking pay meters. Overall well impressed and will definitely stay again perhaps in the warmer months so that we could enjoy the city sight seeing better.

The Castle view is well located and the breakfast was terrific. Location is perfect. The mattress tilted to one side which made sleeping a little difficult. This is a lovely old building and the tilting mattress may have been do to the floor tilting. The bed needed to be propped up on one side. The bathroom and bedroom where spacious.
