"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."
"Stayed in the Wolsey apartment at the rear of the building. Instructions sent didn't state this and we were left wandering up and down the three floors of the main building looking for the apartment. In the end we had to call customer service for the correct location.
The apartment was nice, clean and in a good location.
However, the 5 spaces for parking were right outside the front door of the apartment. Although it stated free parking it was roulette trying to get a space. I don't know if it was other residents or chancers using it. We ended up having to pay for parking due to this.
The apartment had a dish washer but no tablets, there was no washing up liquid and no tea spoons.
The TV only gave BBC channels with a good reception. All other channels the sound was broken and picture pixilated. Also the TV wouldn't connect to the WiFi to enable apps like Iplayer and netflix to be used. Called customer services they said it would be fixed in the morning. Admittedly the following night the channels were better but not perfect and still the TV wouldn't hook up to the WiFi so still no apps.
The following evening when we got back we we back to square one, only a good reception on BBC channels.
The other annoying feature was the unused University teaching block next to the property car park must have some issue with its alarm. It went off 5 times during our stay including late at night for approx 20 minutes.
All in all would we return? Unfortunately not to this proper"
"This was our second stay at 40 winks and it was even better! Warn welcome, beautiful decor, delicious breakfast. Host went out of his way to make our visit run smoothly as we were here for a graduation ceremony. We will be back. Didn’t have time to use the new bar so we must return!! "
"After a little trouble finding the location everything was wonderful. The apartment was sparkling clean, the communication was quick and helpful, and the location was fantastic. I'd definitely stay here again."
"Absolutely outstanding guest house - I was really impressed from the moment I arrived. The room was enormous and very comfortable, with everything I needed. It was the perfect temperature and almost unnervingly quiet and peaceful. The bed was very comfortable and everything was spotless. Breakfast was great, and the owners were very accommodating."
"This property truly is a 5 star. It is clean and modern with all the required amenities as well as lots of detailed extras including welcome gifts and robes to be used during your stay. Chris was an absolutely amazing host with attention to detail and was always available to offer assistance and answer our questions. His restaurant recommendations were spot on. The location is amazing with quick access to the university and the walking path along the river as well as local shops and sights. You'll love your stay here! "
