Host & Stay | The Duck Pond
Summary:
This historic building has been renovated to a great standard, allowing modern and traditional features to contrast perfectly. With three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a short walk from the centre of Durham, this lovely holiday home will provide a truly unforgettable stay. Sleeping up to six guests, you’ll be able to create memories to treasure with friends and family.
The Space:
The Duck Pond has been recently refurbished to the highest standard. With premium furnishings and beautiful finishes, you can expect a homely stay in a well maintained property.

Fully equipped for self-catering stays, the kitchen has everything you could need to prepare home cooked.
The Duck Pond boasts three spacious bedrooms. There are two bedrooms on the ground floor with double beds. The third bedroom is located on the first floor and also features a double bed, along with exposed wooden beams which add a real traditional, cosy feel to the space.
There is a shower room on the ground floor and the upstairs bedroom is home to an ensuite boasting a shower, wash basin and WC.
Outside you’ll find a pleasant and secluded garden to the rear of the property. With barbeque facilities and a seating area, this is great for enjoying the fresh air during your stay.

The Neighborhood:
Named as ‘One of the Best Cities to Visit in 2020’, Durham is a beautiful and charming area within the North East. Known as the ‘perfect little city’, Durham has the best mix of everything and it all blends seamlessly. It retains its mediaeval heritage but it also has a modern and vibrant twist. It boasts lush green landscapes but it also has busy cobbled streets with independent shops, bars and restaurants.
Durham has plenty of history within its walls. One of the most spectacular historic sites is Durham Cathedral. Constructed between 1103 and 1133, this towering building is a shining example of Norman architecture. The cathedral is now the oldest surviving building with a stone vaulted ceiling of such a large scale.
Getting Around:
The centre of Durham is a short ten-minute walk from The Duck Pond.
Durham train station is 10-minute drive away so nearby towns and cities can easily be reached via rail. There’s also a taxi rank in close proximity to the train station.
There are plenty of bus routes throughout Durham. Hop on the Arriva 6 route to visit Barnard Castle or the number 22 which travels through Seaham and Sunderland.
Interaction with Guests:
We’re always available for our guests so please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
