Kingslodge hotel is really based upon an extremely good restauarant which has some hotel rooms above it. The prestigious restaurant , Knights Restaurant has a reputation for excellent food
Kingslodge is one of my favourite places to stay. The food is always excellent, the rooms are always spotless , well decorated with quality furnishings. The ensuite bathrooms are spacious, modern and spotlessly clean. If you telephone the hotel to book room prices are negoiable. Room rates are around £80 per night B & B, the hotel has a sort of website (accessible through activehotels.com) which provides basic information about the hotel
It is arguably the best restaurant in the city.
The drawback to the hotel is that in terms of facilities there aren't any, no sauna, no swimming pool, no gym but who cares the food is excellent. The staff are always helpful and friendly
In terms of food the hotel has an a la carte restaurant with champagne bar which serves a changeable menu of seasonal produce cooked to perfection. Average A La Carte dinner prices are around £25. Table D'hote prices are about £20 The Hotel serves bar meals which are very similar in quality to the restaurant food, just cheaper. All homemade. The hotel also serves lunches, it does a really nice home made cottage pie. The Desserts are excellent all homemade and often innovative. The wine list is impressive.Breakfast is always fresh and from good quality local ingredients. Cooked to order it is always filling and delicious.
The Hotel is located in a cul de sac in walking distance of the centre of Drurham. The real drawback is that the hotel is situated next to a bus garage and close to the railway line. That said I have probably stayed on 14 or 15 different occasions and have never been woken by any noise.
If I have to stay in Durham its' the place I go to
How helpful would this review be to a person making a buying decision? Rating guidelines
Overall a good review if a little short....not that a long review always warrants a higher rate...you say that it is the best restaurant in the city and mention quickly some of its good points, perhaps to expand upon all of the restaurants good points, choices, staff etc and the comfort and cleanliness of the place in general would perhaps achieve higher ratings....I look forward to reading more in future x
