Honest Lawyer Hotel - A pet-friendly riverside hotel with modern rooms and easy access to Durham's landmarks
Set close to the banks of the River Wear, Honest Lawyer Hotel offers 51 individually furnished rooms in contemporary style, featuring modern en suite bathrooms, free Wi-Fi, LCD TVs, and tea/coffee facilities. Rooms include options for single, double, twin, and family occupancy, with fully accessible wet rooms for disabled guests. The spacious Room 42/43 includes a double bedroom and adjoining twin bedroom. Breakfast is served in the main restaurant for £11.95 per person. Bailey's Bar offers informal dining in booths, sofas, or armchairs, while the Northern Saints Trails pass nearby, linking to Durham Cathedral and Castle. The hotel provides free parking and is 6 km from Durham, with motel-style courtyard rooms allowing direct outdoor access.
Pros
Free on-site parking and full-fibre Wi-Fi in all rooms and public areas.
Pet-friendly courtyard rooms available for an additional £7.50 per night.
Varied dining options including locally sourced produce and steak grilled to order.
Proximity to The Way of Life Northern Saints Trail and dark-sky stargazing sites.
Cons
The restaurant does not allow pets, limiting dining options for dog owners.
Breakfast is an additional charge and not included in the room rate.
“From what I've gathered, a key advantage is the seamless parking, often directly outside the rooms, coupled with consistently friendly staff. The courtyard rooms seem to offer particularly pleasant views over fields, a surprising rural touch so close to Durham. Finally, the value for money consistently earns praise, especially considering the inclusive breakfast.”
