Towering over the city, Durham Cathedral and Castle create a medieval skyline that's best viewed from riverside paths. Book tickets for student-led tours inside the UNESCO-listed castle or attend evensong services in the cathedral's magnificent interior.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay in this beautiful boutique hotel. We booked the room overlooking the Cathedral which was stunning. The room was really large and immaculately designed. The gentleman who checked us in was so friendly and helpful. The walk was no more than 10 minutes to the centre.
We were so impressed with this hotel and Durham we would definitely come back.

The rooms are excellent. Lovely and clean. Food in the restaurant is nothing short of amazing. I can recommend the steak and kidney pudding. Best I have ever tasted

this is a great option for a visit to Durham if you are prepared to stay outside of the city. Best value for money I have experienced in a long time . Breakfast fantastic something you would pay in excess of £12 in other accommodation Sonia and the rest of her staff are very welcoming . There is only one place I will be staying should I visit the area in the future

lovely hotel, good food and a wonderful location. Woods just beyond the car park. DIdn't like the Internet connection though. It looked like I risked getting spam forever.

This is not a 5 star hotel but our room was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Flat screen TV and free Wi-Fi, piping hot water, what more can you ask for? The pub downstairs has a wonderful menu at reasonable prices and the staff could not have been more helpful. The best Full English I have tasted, 10 items and not a spot of fat on the plate, well done.

Lovely, spacious and comfortable room with en suite bathroom. Spotlessly clean. Friendly and helpful staff. Plenty of parking spaces. Excellent location for exploring the area. Easy, short journey into Durham city.

A great property with leisure facilities and parking close to Durham (<10 minute drive or park and ride opposite carriageway)
Room was lovely but surprised no air conditioning or fridge and it did get a little hot overnight
