The Shoes Bed & Breakfast Durham

Review by hotel critic

During my recent visit to Shoes Bed & Breakfast, I was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. My friend and I enjoyed a warm stay in a spotlessly clean room, where we appreciated the tranquility, even being close to a busy road. The highlight, undeniably, was breakfast. The generous full English spread, complemented by an array of cereals, fruit, and yogurt, truly showcased culinary thoughtfulness. I found the vibrant ambiance of the dining area inviting, fostering casual conversation with fellow guests. The staff was notably effective in their roles—always friendly and eager to assist without being intrusive. It was refreshing to have an atmosphere that prioritizes comfort. Each morning was a pleasure, not just for the delicious food but also for the ease of access—from a leisurely walk to the River Wear to a simple jaunt into Durham City Centre. Shoes Bed & Breakfast is conveniently situated for exploring local attractions like Palace Green and Beamish Museum, making it an excellent base for culinary aficionados and travelers alike. I left with a sense of contentment, knowing that I’d found a delightful retreat for future culinary escapades.
