Firstly, the location in the Hotels.com app is different to the postcode. Staff were incredibly friendly, from check-in, the breakfast, to check-out. Bathroom could do with a really deep clean, likewise tea and coffee station

A lovely pub just outside Durham in High Shincliffe. It’s nicely done up and a mix of locals and travellers like me. The food is well priced and the drinks list extensive. The rooms are clean and comfortable. I LOVED my full English breakfast. You cannot fault this place for the price.
Dinner. The bacon burger.
Delicious full English

4/10 Fair

Bar and bar food are good. The room was very cold with no way of heating, even in bed! The shower was a trickle of water if you wanted any hot water, no pressure.

A good friendly stay.

The best compliment I can give is that we will be back again. What really stood out apart from the comfy rooms and fantastic breakfast was how helpful and willing the staff were to rectify any concerns or issues.

Great location less than10 minutes from Durham, so the perfect base without the price tag of Durham hotels. The staff where friendly and welcoming. The cooked breakfast was very tasty and plentiful. We did not try the dinner options, but it's a lovely, friendly pub. Our room was a great size and the bed was comfy with a lovely feather duvet. Would definetly stay again. Alina & Steve

Top room with sloping roof and low beams was very comfortable, if you know how to avoid walking into them. Great bed, spotlessly clean. Worth knowing dinner service on sunday finishes at 6pm.

Clean and tidy

The hotel is clean and tidy. Staff attentive and well mannered. We stayed for 5 nights but did not have our bed linen changed or fresh towels, although we did ask for fresh towels. The bins in the room were not emptied during the 5 days. We also had to ask for tea, sugar and biscuits. They should have been replenished daily. The food is typical “pub grub”. Nothing special but tasty.

Journey break

We stopped here on our way to and from a funeral.We were greeted warmly by the customers and by Claire,who apparently running The Avenue on a temporary basis.She looked after us from the moment we arrived to the moment we left.The food was excellent and good value for money.The rooms were clean and comfortable,though possibly need a bit of updating.We would stay again as it was one of. the friendliest pubs we have ever stayed in.Thanks to the clientele and especially Claire,ten out of ten.

Enjoyed it

I had a lovely stay, the room was cosy and comfortable, and all staff I spoke to was very nice, down to earth, helpful and accomodating. Breakfast was really well cooked and tasty. The only feedback I have is that it was quite dusty on the floor between the bed and wall, and on the top of the headboard. The electric shower was as electric showers are; functional but not super efficient. I'll stress though that I did really enjoy my stay and would definitely stay again.
