Premier Inn Durham (Newton Aycliffe)

The best premier inn we have ever stayed in hands down without shadow of a doubt. For a start, we walked into the room and there was an A4 piece of paper on the side informing us THREE eggs had been hidden in the room for us to find. Cue the excitement and frenzy as we all (including 30 year old me and 60 year old granny) raced round the room to find the eggs. Granny made the rookie mistake of going for the bathroom but let’s be honest who’s hiding eggs in the toilet lass. Meanwhile in the bedroom, the frenzy continued resulting in one 12 year old being shoved out of the way and two milk cartons being thrown into the abyss to retrieve the final egg in what can only be described as an act of pure excellence. We then went to the reception to redeem the mystery prize and the 30 year old claimed the children’s Easter egg #winnerwinnerchickendinner The staff were awesome, super friendly and accommodating. We are already planning our next trip here, perfect location to explore Durham and to use as a pit stop for beamish. 10/10 guys!

We were here for the Kynren show only 20mis away the hotel was undergoing refurbishment which we were made aware of. No issues form the referb in fact the builders were most obliging as were the Premier Inn duty staff. The food from the Pub opposite was quite adequate also with very friendly staff.

The hotel is going through some refurbishment works and as a result, the family room we had was brand new. The woman on reception gave us a lovely warm welcome and had called me a couple of days earlier just to confirm our booking. There is a nice pub / restaurant next to the hotel where we went for dinner and breakfast... This was really handy and great value for money. I would recommend this hotel.

This hotel has only *just* been refurbished, and the people doing that have done an excellent job. Hopefully by the time you get to stay there they will have sorted out the abysmal water pressure. Traveller's tip: try and get a ground floor room as you are further away from the noisy plumbing in the attic, and you may get a smidge more water pressure (but probably not by much). Wi-Fi, by the way, is barely usable with a macimum of a 1 Mb connection on the free version.

What a lovely premier inn. Surrounded by open countryside. On arrival the receptionist called John was very pleasant and efficient. Large car park so no problem parking (free). A clean well kept premier inn. And as always a super comfy bed. Our room was quiet.I will book again when visiting family in Middlesbrough and would recommend highly simply due to great staff and the position of the premier inn. The cleaning staff obviously do a great job as the room was spotless.

Great spacious family room and very friendly staff. Great price and breakfast but more than this was the staff going above and beyond for the kids. Little free treats and an Easter egg hunt set up in our room before our arrival was above, beyond and the kids were well happy with their prizes! Never had a stay like it just from a simple little extra for the kids. Excellent A+ Service and will certainly stay here again when travelling north. Thanks.
