### Host & Stay | The Morton

Summary:  
Throughout the past 310 years, nestled under the watchful gaze of Durham Cathedral, many esteemed guests (including Her Majesty The Queen) have enjoyed the timeless elegance of 52 Old Elvet and revelled in its unparalleled history. Whether you're staying for business or leisure, The Morton will leave you with lasting memories.  
  
The Space:  
On the first floor is The Morton, where the kitchen contains one rather special feature - a beautiful shelf lined cupboard, so historically important it is independently listed.   
  
Beautifully crafted – and immensely practical in its new use as a pantry – this is one of the oldest original features in the entire building.  
  
Guest Access:  
Guests have access to the full apartment.  
  
The keys to The Morton are accessed via a secure key safe and full details will be provided shortly before your arrival date.  
  
There is free on-site parking.  
  
The Neighborhood:  
Nestled in the heart of the historic County Durham, Whinney Hill offers the perfect base to explore the rich heritage and stunning landscapes of the area. Located just a short distance from the iconic Durham Cathedral and Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, guests can immerse themselves in the city's medieval charm and vibrant cultural scene.  
  
The neighbourhood is peaceful and welcoming, with quaint streets lined with local shops, cosy cafes, and traditional pubs.  
  
For those seeking outdoor adventures, the picturesque River Wear offers scenic walking trails and serene spots for picnicking. A short drive will take you to the breathtaking Durham Dales and North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, ideal for hiking, cycling, and wildlife spotting.  
  
Whether you're seeking a quiet retreat or an active getaway, this Durham neighbourhood provides the perfect blend of history, nature, and modern convenience.  
  
Getting Around:  
Convenient transport links make it easy to explore the wider region, including nearby market towns, coastal gems like Seaham, and the vibrant city of Newcastle upon Tyne.  
  
In addition to Newcastle, direct train services can also be found operating to Doncaster, Edinburgh, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Plymouth and Reading.  
  
A number of bus routes operate in Durham, offering direct access to Barnard Castle, Bishop Auckland, Chester-le-Street, Consett, Darlington, Gateshead, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Newcastle, Peterlee, Stanhope, Stanley and Sunderland.  
  
Interaction with Guests:  
We’re always available for our guests so please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
