Nicely decorated and cosy dining area, staff very friendly and helpful. One vegetarian option and no vegan option for evening meal, and no vegan options for breakfast so i had to go without, which is why I scored a 3 for food. However the food I was able to eat was delicious, but slightly overpriced for what it was.

Gilroy’s Restaurant at The Morritt – Barnard CastleLovely little restaurant, excellent food and great service. Will be back
Gussto Tapas Bar – DurhamFood was ok. Where we were sat was a very cold draft. Soft drinks (cordial) very expensive for half a glass. Staff friendly enough. Auto tip for 4 plates and 2 drinks should be optional.
Gussto Tapas Bar – DurhamStaff fantastic. Food quality not as good as it used to be, pizzas were a bit bland and the lasagne was dry. We had to ask for another meal as one of the lasagnes was inedible. Staff were great though, could not be more helpful. Food just letting it down on this occasion
Farmhouse Dine & Wine – DurhamWe dined in the restaurant in Saturday night. The food was fantastic couldn’t fault a thing. The service was great also we will be back thank you for an unforgettable stay.
Derwent Manor Hotel – DurhamFood was nice but was over priced for what you got .my partner ordered a burger as that was the only thing on the menu he liked he asked the waiter if it came with onions and was told no .the burger turned up with onion relish on they changed it for another which still came back with onions so ended up eating a chip butty .also the breakfast was so dry as it was just left in warming pots. Good points hotel was lovely ,staff were very friendly .
Hall Garth Hotel – DarlingtonWe had a lovely meal. Food was lovely, service was excellent. We had a lovely evening.
Gilroy’s Restaurant at The Morritt – Barnard CastleWe like the Italian farmhouse in Coxhoe as the staff are friendly, the food is great and we are never rushed to finish our food. We were there for 3 hours last week meaning we could enjoy dinner and catching up with friends. There is always space to park and the quiz is always great fun on a Sunday evening too. I would thoroughly recommend the italian farmhouse in Coxhoe if you are looking for a night out.
Farmhouse Dine & Wine – DurhamWe stayed at the hotel with a last minute booking due to business travel, two of us arrived late in the evening and we managed to get a table in the main restaurant. The starters came and we were delighted at the quality, freshness and also the service received, my colleague had the camembert whilst I had the crispy beef, both were amazing. For mains we had fillet steak, and venison, the quality of the meat and the presentation was first class, I enjoyed every mouthful. Amazing place, amazing food, amazing people, amazing stay!

Farmhouse Dine & Wine – DurhamAmazing food,service & friendly staff.
Gilroy’s Restaurant at The Morritt – Barnard CastleFood included as part of our stay, and although we were ordering off a smaller menu, the food was fantastic. We were advised of specials before hand, I had the slow cooked beef which was melt in your mouth, my wife had chicken stuffed with black pudding and loved every bit of it. All the food was exceptionally presented, the staff were lovely and the restaurant itself was lovely.
Derwent Manor Hotel – DurhamWe had a lovely meal here recently. The waiting staff were amazing and could not do enough for us, especially Laura. The food was perfect and the 3 of us enjoyed everything we had, it isn’t that easy when you are catering for a 3 year old! We had our 5month old with us too and we had a great space to put his pram so that he could nap whilst we ate. The atmosphere is very calm and relaxed and the decor makes you feel you are somewhere very sophisticated! Over all it was an exceptional visit and we will be back.
