A four-star country hotel near Durham is on the market for £2.1 million after its price was cut.

Sixty One sits in four acres of landscaped grounds in High Pittington, about three miles from Durham city centre.

It has seen its price slashed by £400,000 in recent days.

Tom Cunningham, UK regional director, Hotel Capital Markets, Savills Manchester, said: "This is a popular venue set within the rolling countryside of County Durham, offering a boutique feel for guests while also able to accommodate larger events and celebrations.

"Sixty One’s location makes it ideal for access from the rest of the North East, with Durham itself increasingly sought-after."

The 24-bedroom hotel features a 46-seat restaurant, a casual tavern, and event space for up to 180 guests.

It has been praised by customers on TripAdvisor, with one guest calling it "gorgeous".

They added: "Lovely family atmosphere.

"Hotel has been renovated to a high standard and we were made to feel very welcome. Food was homemade and delicious.

"Will be back for a Sunday lunch as they looked beautiful."

Savills is handling the sale.
