Best Willington Hotels

Absolutely spotless and finished to a high standard. Decor is modern and appealing throughout. Staff are helpful. Lovely restaurant and fantastic coffee served there. The only slight issue I would say, is that you can hear guests in the next room very easily and this isn’t desirable for obvious reasons. We sadly ended up with very noisy guests in the room next to us the first night we stayed and this caused considerable disruption to our sleep pretty much all night. Saying this, we didn’t notify the staff though (so they may have been able to help) as there was no phone in the room. The next night was fine and completely silent so this would be dependent on who you have staying near you.

My wife and I, along with our dog, stayed for one night en route to Scotland. The check in process was swift and efficient and we were allocated a courtyard dog friendly room. The room was clean and the facilities fine for a one night stay. We ventured in the bar for a drink and were served and told we were welcome to sit anywhere in the bar. We stayed in the bar for an evening meal and the meals were very good with large portions and well cooked. I especially loved the home cooked chips which came with the scampi. Drinks were reasonably priced as was the food. After dinner we sat out in the lovely beer garden with more drinks until the temperature dropped. Breakfast the following morning was excellent, with a continental selection and a huge cooked breakfast, Staff were all very friendly throughout our stay and we felt our dog was welcome. All in all, an excellent first visit and I would not hesitate to return if we travel this way in the future.

The room was spotless and nicely furnished with THE comfiest bed! The bathroom was large and there were copious fluffy white towels (but no bathrobes as described). The views were tremendous and it was really close to Durham. The lounge area was lovely and accessible all the time. But…the breakfast was self-service continental style and we (and the other couple staying) loaded and put on the dishwasher which we’ve never done in a B&B before! The bedroom is within a conservatory and it was sooo hot. On our final night we asked for a fan as we couldn’t get a breeze from the window as the conservatory door was closed at night. The fan made for a better night’s sleep and I would suggest that the rooms have one in there permanently. On the confirmation email it did say that guest rooms were not guaranteed noise free. Maybe a touch of an understatement! We could hear the man next door having a good old yawn and if we weren’t talking ourselves, we could hear their conversations. Eeeek. It was a lovely location but I did think it was expensive. We used our Christmas present BuyAGift ‘2 night luxury stay’ vouchers and as we stayed a 3rd night, we paid the difference which was £230! Ouch.
