Went yesterday for the first time just for a drink. Love the inside of the pub. Fire was on, really cosy. Staff lovely and friendly. Fussed the dog and gave her a treat. Even showed us their function room at our request.

What a beautiful place. We stayed in the pool cabin which was dog friendly. Comfortable bed, amazing size hot tub pool, such an amazing size! Wouldn't hesitate to stay again!

Was a last minute booking, and what a gem in a beautiful location steeped in history, had a lovely superior double complete with oak beams and ensuite, with a really nice small outdoor seating area, we also had dinner in the restaurant which was of a very high standard, and the delicious breakfast was included in the room cost, would definitely consider staying again, only issue I had was too hot in the room and couldn't seem to turn off the heating

Food and drinks: The Buddha Bowl was delicious. Wasn't keen on the Celeriac and Apple Soup. It was too spicy for me.

We loved it here! We dropped in for lunch on spec with two dogs.
Excellent parking with handy, susprisingly classy and non smelly poo bins.
Really nice staff - relaxed and professional.
Atmosphere was just genial I think is the best word.
Good menu and the food came very quickly. I had fish and chips and my wife had the Buddha bowl with the tartlet. Both were excellent. Nice to have a decent veggie option. Price for two courses pretty reasonable these days - so often you can spend more than you wanted and come away a bit unimpressed... Not the case at the Durham OX.
We loved it. We'd definitely come again.

My wife an I stayed in the Studio suite and took up the Sunday Supper club option. The meal was exceptional complemented by a quality wine list and fantastic attentive staff. The room was quality and well prepared with excellent facilities. The breakfast was again top quality and our waitress was top class. We had a truly fabulous stay and well done to the entire team for giving us a truly memorable occasion we will certainly be back . Thank you.

We had our daughter?s christening lunch here, and it was the perfect setting. The food was incredible, and the private room we sat in was beautiful. I would highly recommend Durham Ox for a fun family event.

We had our wedding reception in the "Ox Barn" and what can I say... it was perfect. Adam, Michael & the team made our day run exactly as we planned it. Michael (owner) manned the gourmet BBQ, the food was divine & Adam (manager) was there to welcome us back from our ceremony in York with Champagne and well wishes.
We had a small wedding with 23 guests so the Barn was decorated with one large table (small tables are available but we preferred one large one).
We also stayed over the night before and wedding night, the rooms were lovely, comfortable beds and a luxurious feel.
Breakfast in the morning was spot on and the staff so friendly.
If you're looking for somewhere relaxed yet beautiful for your wedding then please give The Durham Ox a look, I really can't recommend them highly enough for your special day.
Thank You Durham Ox

Everything was perfect and only a 4star due to two silly little niggles! One was having a table next to the bar meant having young lads butts into your space when they came to the bar and due to the warm weather the doors were open which meant being joined by multiple flies, this did not make for a full romantic atmosphere. That said, it was still very good.
Food & drinks: Steak and the poke bowl!
