"Beautiful property, lovely gardens.
Breakfast was amazing - great mushrooms!
Bed was huge and comfortable.
Staff were fab - very helpful.
Only downside is no door between the bathroom and bedroom - so very little privacy. "

"Lovely, quiet hotel close to old Durham. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and particular kudos to those working the evening shift in the restaurant and bar."

While Pity Me may not have many sights to explore, venturing just a little farther will lead you to top things to see and do like Gala Theatre Durham and Adventure Valley.
Great for a couple of nights. The cathedral and castle are well worth a visit. Great views of Durham and surrounding area if you want to climb the 325 steps. Be aware that for the castle, you must book a tour beforehand. Tour very good anyway.

Durham is a great city to visit. Fantastic cathedral, very good shopping (including the indoor market), very good restaurants/cafes/pubs, very nice riverside walks. Excellent transport links - from both bus and railway station.

Lovely place, nice vibe, clearly a student town but good bars and restaurant choice. Good historic tourist attractions. Guided tour of Durham castle particularly good!

Beautiful city, shame about a large number of rowdy (drunk, drugs) locals in the centre. No sign of any police to sort them out / move them along. Didn't feel very safe.

"The taxi and Uber pick up are out front and that was convenient. Upper floor was warm. Stay on lower floors. But fancy and regal and old fashioned. You can walk out the back door to the train station literally. Way Handy!"
"Booked late, but room was ready and despite it being in the middle of meal service check in was quick, efficient and friendly. I'd already eaten but the food looked very good too. Room was small and comfortable. Good nights sleep and bathroom was clean. "
