Room was great. Spa was lovely. Only complaint is restricted hours for kids to use the pool. This should have been disclosed upfront.

Holiday Inn Washington by IHG
After receiving the bill we noticed it was more than we expected after paying for ut. Turns out there is a service charge. The member of staff showed me on the menu, this was the very small writing on the back of the menu.

White House Cottages
Handy location to Durham and countryside. Clean cozy and friendly clear communications. Nice touch to have some supplies available on arrival. Felt unclear where to park as other locals parked up but I’m sure it would have been clear should I have asked.
