Thomas Wright House, hotel in Durham

What an amazing dog friendly place to stay en route from the Scottish Highlands to Suffolk. After long journey with our old collie dog, our room had a lovely wicker dog basket with blanket in it, 2 dog bowls and a little pot of Sir Woofchester’s Sunday Roast dog treats! Immaculately clean bedroom. There is a village green just down the road for a quick dog walk, and owner supplied details of nearby walks. The most wonderful cooked breakfast with best bacon I’ve ever tasted, home made chocolate chip flapjack, choice of cereals, gluten free toast for me, quality Tiptree marmalade and honey. Our dog was welcomed in the breakfast room, a blanket found for her to lie on, water bowl provided and she could have had a sausage if we had agreed! We are definitely returning very soon!

    We booked the hotel for its proximity to Durham University and we were not disappointed. Within minutes, we were on the Bailey. Due to the university event, breakfast was full of parent + young person pairs and there was plenty of food and beverages. The staff was very friendly. I'll certainly be back.

    Lovely stay right between the city center and Durham university. Rooms were really cosy. They don't serve breakfast. But Durham is small and cafes are in walking distance.
