I've stayed a few times recently while working in the area. Accommodation is fairly basic, but comfortable beds, clean, warm and a great little restaurant onsite with nice food. Ideal for a few days stop.

Excellent choice of accommodation for a stay in and around Durham. My son and I were there to visit the university and it was a short bus journey into the city. Similarly a short bus journey from the train or bus station to the property. Very friendly and helpful staff, especially John, who gave me directions over the phone a few days before we got there. Lovely clean room (in a motel style), beautiful comfortable beds and excellent shower. TV, tea and coffee making facilities. Can park right outside room if you came by car. Lovely bar area, and beautiful breakfast options. The fully cooked breakfast was excellent. All the staff were so lovely and welcoming, particularly John who welcomed us when we arrived. Would thoroughly recommend.

Staying for access to university visit. Twin room was basic but very clean. Room was a bit cold but that may have been me being a bit under the weather. Bathroom was small but well formed. No toilet brush was odd but otherwise fine. Walls are paper thin. Quiet conversations are easily audible. Restaurant good. Breakfast was excellent. Excellent value for money

Pleasant hotel, very motel like which i thought was good, straight to your room after being out instead of the usual trailing through reception and up flights of stairs, great parking too, right outside your door. Great value for money.

The Honest Lawyer consisted of a central building with bar and restaurant and then 46 motel rooms ranged around a car park. It is on a busy main road although the rear of the rooms looked out over a field backed by a wood. Because it was on a main road it was right on the route of three buses so was great for getting to Durham bus station.The staff were all friendly and obliging and the rooms were clean and serviced well. The main building where the bar and restaurant were had obviously recently had money spent on the decor. Food in the restaurant was middle of the road but tasty and plentiful enough. The rooms in the motel part were adequate enough with two chairs,plenty of sockets and mirrors and a nice warm shower over a bath. They did look a little tired and could do with some updating. Also there were hanging baskets right around the car park in which all the plants were dead. I would stay here again if in the vicinity and would recommend it
