At 40 Winks Hospitality, we’ve always believed that exceptional stays are built on the little details, the thoughtful touches, the warm welcomes, and the unforgettable experiences that linger long after checkout.
This year, we’re incredibly proud (and genuinely grateful) to share that those efforts have been recognised on a global scale.
Recognised by Travellers Worldwide
One of our most meaningful achievements is receiving the 2025 Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award, placing us in the top 10% of properties worldwide.
This award is particularly special because it’s based entirely on guest reviews. Every kind word, every glowing recommendation, and every returning visitor has helped us earn this distinction.
Outstanding Guest Reviews
We’re also delighted to have received the Booking.com Traveller Review Award 2026, with an exceptional score of 9.5 out of 10.
This reflects consistent, high-quality experiences across every aspect of a stay—from comfort and cleanliness to service and location.
Adding to this, we’ve been awarded the Hotel.social Certificate of Excellence, achieving an outstanding 9.8 out of 10.
These ratings are more than just numbers, they represent real guest experiences, and we’re so thankful to everyone who has taken the time to share theirs.
A Prestigious Industry Honour
Perhaps one of the highlights of the year is being named Luxury Hotel of the Year – North England at the Prestige Awards 2025/2026.
This recognition celebrates excellence across the hospitality industry and reinforces our commitment to offering a truly luxurious and memorable stay in the heart of Durham.
Among Britain’s Finest
We are also proud to be a certified member of Britain’s Finest, a collection that showcases some of the UK’s most exceptional places to stay.
Being part of this prestigious group reflects our dedication to quality, character, and outstanding guest experience.
Thank You
While we’re incredibly honoured by these awards, what matters most to us is you, our guests.
Your support, your reviews, and your continued trust in us are the reason we do what we do. Every stay, every celebration, and every quiet getaway shared within our walls means the world to us.
We look forward to welcoming you to 40 Winks Hospitality soon, where award-winning luxury meets genuine, heartfelt hospitality.
