Welcome to the Rose and Crown at Romaldkirk – one of the best hotels in Durham, in an indyllic quintessentially English village and surrounded by breathtaking scenery. As Fiona Duncan of the Sunday Telegraph writes, “Everything about this place is perfect.”

Step inside and you will see the hallway is festooned with awards – testimony to the high standards of hospitality that make the Rose and Crown one of the foremost hotels in Durham. Food is of the essence with locally sourced produce, freshly cooked and beautifully presented, with a choice of dining in either the restaurant or less formally in the brasserie. Drinks can be enjoyed in the cosy bar with its open log fire and on sunny days outside overlooking the picturesque village green. Or there’s the beautifully furnished and cosy lounge – a tranquil spot in which to relax.

As befits one of the most popular hotels in Durham, all the rooms are stylishly furnished under the careful supervision of Ali Davy, superbly comfortable and well equipped with those little touches that make a guest’s stay special – Bose sound systems, glossy magazines, luxury toiletries, big fluffy towels and a copy of “Come Rain or Shine”, Chris and Ali Davy’s personal guide to County Durham – one of the little extras that makes this one of the best hotels in Durham.

Throughout the historic building contemporary styling combines with original features to create a superbly comfortable and welcoming place to stay – without a doubt a very special gem and one of the finest hotels in Durham.
