We were really impressed with the welcome, the friendly faces, the quality of the accomodation and the breakfast. My only criticism is the squeaky door hinges on my room door. Very noisy in the night. I stayed in P3? We would certainly book Collingwood College again.

The staff were excellent both prior and during the stay at Collingwood College. I had to check in late and the porter/night staff was brilliant really helpful. As we're the canteen staff on Sunday morning as I had to leave really early and they even made me a takeaway cup of tea. Facilities were exactly as described and overall very clean

The room was very clean and quiet. The breakfast in the college dining hall was excellent. Good value for money. I wanted to book Collingwood College again for my next visit to Durham, but it was sold out, unfortunately
