Hotels near Leamside

English breakfast is served in a long room with a view onto the street, it was delicious with many options. The bed was comfortable with a pillow menu, there were enough mirrors, lighting and storage, & the showers were hot. My room had a good view of the River Wear & rowers. There was a downstairs bar with a snack menu. There was a dry-cleaning service & brochures about local attractions and night events. I drove to Raby castle built in the late 1300s (30+ minutes away) to see the original castle of my ancestors, the powerful Neville family, parents of Richard III. Raby castle has a cafe in a cute yurt with a good lunch menu. The current owner family have restored a few of the 100+ rooms. The Marriott hotel is close to many pubs like the Swan and Three Cygnets, or the Half Moon Inn which had weekend bands. It's across the road from the Indigo hotel which houses a Marco Pierre White restaurant, inside the beautiful old domed town hall chambers. The menu is extensive & staff are very attentive to issues such as food intolerance. Durham Castle & cathedral are close to each other about 1 km away. The cathedral contains the remains of St. Cuthbert, probably England's first monk, & St. Bede, England's 1st chronicler. Two effigies of the Nevilles (sans their heads) are inside with beautiful stained glass windows. You'll find many school groups. There are staff dressed in purple to guide & assist you. You can have a good meal in the cathedral cafe where they pay great attention to food intolerances or allergies, and then naturally purchase souvenirs from the gift shop. If you like detective novels, you can buy novels by M M Hudson, set in Durham, from the Indigo & probably elsewhere.
