The Seven Stars

Guesthouse

Nice little Inn, but although we were only people in, the coffee was only lukewarm, and I was served with a lipstick stained glass! Food was OK, nothing startling and small portions served, which is ideal for a lunch time.

A nice warm greeting, and good location for a trip into Durham. However the room was in desperate need of updating. Tired decoration, cheap old furniture. The bathroom was tiny and shower was dreadful. Our room was certainly not like the ones in the photos. We didn't want to eat there so can't comment on the food. We paid £72 for room only, no breakfast included, sadly we were very disappointed with this one. Other customers must be easily pleased, we've experienced much better city break accomodation with breakfast for the same price.

Should be 2 stars not 7. Pretty poor food I'd perfectly honest. Would not recommend or come back.

Came here for Sunday lunch. Lovely surroundings, fantastic food and friendly staff.

Great food Lovely atmosphere Great friendly staff.

Good food and friendly atmosphere and service.

Food was average-poor. Not as good as it used to be.

The food was great and a good pint, the staff were realy good. Also dog freindly.

Really comfortable room and excellent service. Thanks for making us feel at home.

We have just returned from a short break at Seven stars we took mum with us she is 87 we had an amazing time the owners were so welcoming and the staff so good we were on bbxevening meal break absolutely fantastic value the food was fantastic also no restrictions on what we could choose from menu mum had the lamb shank and absolutely loved it as did my husband I had meat pie amazing the ice cream. Was homemade and the peach melba was to die for. Breakfast is cooked to order and served to you so much better than self service The rooms are really clean and bright mums single room was a nice size The restaurant area is really nice and inviting as is the bar area Really can't recommend enough we will be returnin a must.

Staff were super attentive and lovely. Room was really nice and had everything that anyone would really ask for!

Good food in a pleasant restaurant. Decent bar for drinks.

Great food, great cosy atmosphere and lovely staff.

Ate Sunday lunch, very friendly service. Had our own private dining area asked for a table with space for a high chair it was an added bonus. Meal was nicely cooked and lots of it, served quickly.

Lovely traditional pub, dog friendly, excellent food and lovely staff.

Lovely little pub and restaurant just outside Durham city. Good range of drinks including locally brewed beers. The food is lovely — try the "Grand Reserve Burger" with blue cheese! Service is top notch too, my family and I always feel very welcome here.

Great little pub. Good range of beers and a superb blue cheese burger!

From crossing the threshold through the fish and chips and beer (esp selection) we were taken by the elegant atmosphere. The whole City of Durham never fails to disappoint.

It's a nice place in terms of the decor and the staff were friendly enough, but the food itself wasn't anything to write home about. Tuna sandwich with olives and sundried tomatoes that was so dry it wouldn't say in the sandwich, a hot beef sandwich on a clearly cheap bap with dull gravy, and chips of a quality that you could get at any Wetherspoons. Maybe worthwhile if you're local, but not if you want something a little more special.

Would of given 5 stars but I was a little disappointed with one dish, the belly pork. Other than that, it was beautiful. Super friendly staff. Really nice place. Will recommend and return.

We regularly eat at the Seven Stars, it is now our first choice every time we eat out. The food is of a very high standard yet the atmosphere is still friendly, not stuffy.

The food here is Ok but the attitude of the management sucks! We had a meal for eight booked but couldn't battle our way through the snow. We had paid £80 deposit. We asked if we could come on an alternative date and although initially told yes we were then told there had been a change of heart and we could not make use of our deposit towards another meal. This is totally unreasonable and counter-productive. When we rang back to talk about this they just put the phone down on us! We won't be going back.
