40 Winks is a beautiful guest house! All the public spaces are lovely and clean as was my room. It was very spacious with lots of natural light. The bed was comfortable and I really liked the seating in the room where I could sit and read or unwind without having to be in bed. The breakfast was amazing and the staff were warm, friendly, and welcoming.

Its history, the gardens and the room was very comfortable with nice outlook. Breakfast was generous with gluten free options available. We were able to explore most of the historic areas which are amazing. The whole property is beautifully maintained and all the staff are so friendly, kind and helpful. Very good value for money.

I am a Canadian currently living and working in Germany. I came to Durham for a conference, and everything about my stay was just as expected — the place was spotless, the booking came with clear instructions, and the service was both professional and warm. The staff were always available to help with any questions and responded with kindness and politeness. We loved being just steps away from the charming old town, with its beautiful cathedral and castle. Affordable parking nearby was also a plus. We felt special staying in this heritage-protected house, which was beautifully modern on the inside. Highly recommended. Next time I visit Durham, I’ll definitely stay here again — thank you!

Location for us was ideal as we needed a night between Darlington and Durham. Very clean, comfortable bed. Breakfast of toast and cornflakes left in room. I did not like the shared bathroom, although I knew it was going to be shared.
