The Durham Ox

Great spot serving really good food. It’s better than your average country pub for sure, the price reflects this, but it’s well worth it. Rightly so in a lot of well established food guides. There is real food knowledge behind the menu and execution. Their Wine list further reflects this appreciation for good food. There are not many places in the area which hit this level. Good to see it can be found in the North!

I had high expectations before arriving, and they were completely exceeded. From check-in to check-out, every detail was taken care of flawlessly. Our pool cabin was a true haven, offering breathtaking views across Yorkshire. The food was exceptional—high-end cuisine with a laid-back country vibe. The staff were not only helpful but also incredibly knowledgeable, adding to the overall experience. Loved every moment of it! I will be coming back- Thanks x

My wife and I spent 2 wonderful days at The Durham Ox. We stayed in the Pool Cabin which was fantastic! Private garden with a massive hot tub, huge sleeping and relaxing areas with all the amenities you could need. And 2 toilets! Great views and so peaceful. We also had excellent breakfasts and dinner at the pub too. The service at the pub (more a high end gastro pub) was superb, the food fresh, piping hot and prompt and the whole atmosphere was cosy and friendly. We even had our 2 dogs snuggled down by the table with us. Nothing was too much trouble for anyone working there and we are most definitely coming back. Excellent value for money and we cannot recommend highly enough.
