Was out for the day in Durham with our dog and called in the Garden House on the spur of the moment as we had herd it had re opened. So pleased we did good cheap drinks, nice value food and dog friendly, The manage Andy and his staff could not do enough to make us feel at home. We enjoyed a lovely meal and nice drinks. Good choice from the bar for both drinks and food. Also has an amazing garden.

Great find with my dog

Now under new management, Andy and his team are doing a great job. 

Andy and Sara served our food and drinks, which arrived promptly . The food which was delicious which was prepared by chef Pearl. 
Food and drink are very reasonably priced, and the pub itself has a welcoming and warm atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and I would I highly recommend visiting here.

Under new management Highly Recommend

Tried this tonight and impressed with the new management. A couple of decent beers at reasonable prices, pub food at pub food prices. Appears to be home cooked with decent portions. Service was good and properly dog friendly!
I think this may revert back to being my preferred local!

Under new management and on the ball!

The food is amazing and there is a lovely friendly vibe. Really quality pub food (honestly the best I've found in Durham), great service, and lovely cozy atmosphere. We also got to try the rice paper rolls with soy and honey sauce, which were excellent. 

Lovely cozy pub with excellent food

Great welcome, cosy but spacious atmosphere.  Superbly fresh Thai chicken and vegetable rolls with soy and honey dip, and excellent triple cooked chips.   Excellent house Malbec too, as recommended by Sara.  Service is spot on.  Thoroughly recommend this!

Superb food and service

Great place to stay, room was clean, plenty of space with all facilities you would expect from a quality B&B.
The staff were very helpful and nothing was too much of a problem and made us feel really welcome in fact went over and above what I would expect and found from many stays at B&B's over many years.
The walk to and from Durham City centre was just a nice pleasant stroll around 10-15 minutes.
Would definitely recommend and will will be our choice on our next visit to Durham

Great Place to stay

Chose to stay at the Garden House Inn for 2 nights during a family holiday to Durham (2 adults + a 14 year old).  We would usually go for a premier inn or travelodge purely for convenience but decided to give this place a try, and so glad we did. It's a quirky characterful building, with a really lovely bar area and conservatory.  The outside space is small but nice with flowers and umbrellas etc. The room we had (4) was huge, with 2 big double beds- and decorated in an eclectic style which I really liked- well in keeping with the rest of the hotel. Yes the bathroom wasnt the most modern, and the shower could have been better but it was big and clean. We didnt eat there but the range of drinks was ok-  no real ales back yet but this was as expected as they have just come back from lockdown.  The staff were exceptional, Demi in particular, really friendly and welcoming.  The walk into town is absolutely fine, a gentle slope back and ideal for walking off a big dinner.  Despite being quite close to a road, our room was very quiet.   All in all a great experience and hope they go from strength to strength as they recover from the last 18 months. 

If a modern bathroom and powerful shower is all that is important then maybe not the place for you.  If you like olde worlde character and quirky charm, and a relaxed vibe, give it a go.
My daughter loved it- and we all know how difficult it is to impress teenagers!

Great stay

My friends and I visited The Garden House yesterday for drinks after work and the girl working could not have been more helpful she is a real asset to this business. Initially we had reserved a table inside but due to the sun shining we moved outside. Nothing was a trouble for the girl who provided cushions for the chairs and brought our drinks out. Throughout our stay she checked in with us to make sure we were ok and if we needed anything further. 
We will definitely be going back especially after I saw the pizzas being delivered to another table - they looked fab! 
If you are in and around Durham this is definitely worth a visit.

Excellent friendly  service

Booked a table for our food stop after a 15 mile walk   Had to keep chopping and changing how many people were coming at the last minute.  The lady on the phone was very accommodating   Didn’t realise it was only pizza in menu.  But I have to say what a bloody good pizza it was ( 5 pizzas in total ).  Every one was delicious   Homemade Chips too. Can’t recommend this place enough the two ladies who served us were fantastic.  Nothing was a bother to them   Will be returning very soon   From 6 very happy customers
