The property is around 26 km from Sage Gateshead, 27 km from Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art and 27 km from Theatre Royal. The inn features family rooms.

The room was large enough and clean. We really appreciated being able to park our car next door. We walked from the accommodation into Durham for dinner and then around the town. The next day we were allowed to leave our car in the carpark until after we'd finished seeing the cathedral in the morning which was really handy.

Less than 10 minutes’ drive from the historic city of Durham, the Croxdale Inn sits in the small village of Croxdale just half an hour’s drive from the wilderness of the Pennine dales.

The Croxdale has free WiFi and has a traditional wood and stone-panelled bar in the main building. Guests can dine in the inn's Penash Restaurant.

Nice view out of the window and a great hiking trail across the street. The manager, Anthony was friendly and gave us good advice for the Durham area. We had a lot of fun in the pub there. Good restaurant and authentic Indian food at the Croxdale Inn.

    The pub is lovely and very large, was surprised how quiet it was for bank holiday. staff are freindly. the car park is a tight squeeze to say the least when full. we arrived at 3.30 and took the last space. the sunday dinner was beautiful ten out of ten. the room was ok, clean and did what it needed, bit dark but thats just the building i paid 144 for one night b and b which i do think was quite pricey really as it included breakfast but the cooked breakfast was poor. maybe worth around 114 - 124.

    The hotel was a real 'Inn'. The room was clean, large and well-equipped and the staff were very friendly. They happily stored our luggage for us after we had checked out.

    The location is handy for the city and the nearby river bridge is beautiful. The room was warm and clean (but see bellow). Dinner and both were excellent in terms of choice, service and flavours.
