"Location of Hotel next to the River & with parking etc. was ideal for not having to drive at all as could walk into the city & to visitor landmarks."
"Spa was amazing was a little bit of a wait on the Sunday as it was so busy but I must say the blonde haired woman was amazing handled it so well even though it was so busy."
"I was blessed to be given a palatial room at this friendly hotel looking over the river Wear."
