The room was lovely and overlooked the gardens. I was upgraded to a double room and so was pleased to have the extra space and larger bed.

Durham could definitely be one of those towns that appear in fairy tales and stories of kings and knights. Lying on a hilled peninsula formed by the Wear River, the striking cathedral overlooks from the hilltop, surrounded by the castle, palaces and historic buildings. Get transported back in time by the magic of this English jewel, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Though archaeological evidence suggests the area has been inhabited since 2000 BC, the present-day settlement was founded by monks from Lindisfarne in 995, choosing the area as the final resting place of Saint Cuthbert. Symeon of Durham stated once that ‘to see Durham is to see the English Zion, and by doing so one may save oneself a trip to Jerusalem’. Hotels and B&Bs in Durham’s historic centre are a popular choice to enjoy this historic legacy.
Its powerful religious position granted such great honour to the city, that the bishop still holds the rights to a seat in the House of Lords, and to accompany the sovereign at the coronation. During the 19th century and encompassing the industrial revolution, the university was founded, with Durham Castle becoming its first college.
Whether you’re searching for a cottage, a modern hotel, or a cheap hostel, Booking.com offers a wide range of accommodation in the area.

Durham offers something for everyone.
Durham offers something for everyone. Even more for those who wish to explore the historic castle and Cathedral and surrounding streets. The city offers a comprehensive range of food and restaurants. It is accessible by road and rail.
If you find steep streets challenging there are still plenty of places to pause and browse or rest and eat or drink.
It is a beautiful city to visit.

A lot of pubs where the students go were scruffy and uninviting ( ripped furniture etc). Loved the areas around the cathedral, castle, town square and the river. Tour of castle was limited to 4 areas due to students living in the castle which we were not informed about when we purchased tickets. Thought it was a total waste of time going.
Some nice places to eat such as the Spice Lounge just off the square,Turkish kitchen near the cathedral and the Boat Club near the river.

Durham is a great place for a short break. Plenty to do and see. The Cathedral and Castle were amazing. The walk along the river was lovely, especially when the sun came out!
Lots of places to eat. Would highly recommend.

I loved Durham. I did a tour of the Cathedral and Castle.
I loved Durham. I did a tour of the Cathedral and Castle. I felt very safe being on my own and people I did speak to were very chatty.
It was very peaceful walking along the river.
There did seem to be an awful lot of Church's,
I attended the Easter Service at the Cathedral, it was lovely. The choir had 30 children and 11 adults in it. The volunteers were very good.
I would like to come again soon.
I stayed at the Kingslodge Inn, and ate there and at an Indian Restaurant Alishan. The food was delicious.

Durham Cathedral is a must, of all the cathedrals i have visited this must rate as the highest. It was warm, packed with history and information. Great shop, cafe and clean toilets.
Durham guided tour of the Castle is also very good, just be aware to do either or both, its going up quite a steep climb.
You must take the time to visit the living museum at Beamish, although be prepared to allow two days or at least a day and a half. There is so much to see, and the interaction with the characters on the site is fantastic and so informative. Enjoy the vintage tram and bus rides and dont miss out on puffing Billy.
FInally make sure you see the Bowes Museum, it will probably take you 3-4 hours but its worth it.
We chose this hotel as it had free parking and was within walking distance of Durham City Centre (about 10 minutes). The hotel is surrounded by greenery so did not feel like it was in a city centre. The staff were very pleasant and friendly. We ate breakfast and had two evening meals in the restaurant which were all good. Our room was overlooking the garden and was very clean. The cleaning staff did not service our room during our stay due to Covid restrictions but asked us every morning whether we required anything in the room replenishing.
Very nicely stylishly furnished property. Wild garden. Comfortable beds. Quiet, pleasant location. Very convenient for amenities such as shops, pub, take-aways and small supermarket and vet all nearby. Beautiful woodland walk (Aykley Woods) a few minutes away with amazing views of Durham Cathedral. 30 mins drive to wonderful beaches. Good bus connections or you can walk into Durham City Centre in about 25 mins. We had a few family members over to celebrate my granddaughter's 18th birthday. Handy for Durham University. Very dog friendly.
Very welcoming at reception, found room to be clean, spacious and double bed very comfortable. Main road runs past our room and we didn't have any noise disturbance and had a great nights sleep. I enjoy leaving the car at home and this hotel is on a bus route between Durham and Bishop Auckland. The X21 bus goes through Durham to Chester le Street and Newcastle. Would have liked to dine at the adjoining Indian Restaurant but didn't get the opportunity on this occasion.
The hotel rooms within are up to the latest standard of a proper modern hotel. The heritage model of the building gives a beautiful lasting impression which makes me feel delighted. The hospitality of the receptionist and staffs is excellent. If I could give it ten stars, I will give it ten. Location wise, it is only 15 minutes walk to the Durham city centre.
Location is convenient for Durham City. The house has easy off-road parking.
As we travelled to and fro on foot, we can't comment on the bus service, or car parking in the city centre. If you're planning to walk, you should be aware that it's about 1.5 miles to the city centre - and Durham being what it is, it's not a flat walk.
Room was really unique. Beautifully decorated and bed was super comfy. Bath was AMAZING Team were really nice and friendly. Very helpful. All of the hotel was beautifully presented. Outside area was really nice and peaceful. Our room was on the front of hotel and was really quiet.
Literally a 5/10 minute walk from centre.
A nice hotel with a bit of character. The outside garden area was lovely and the conservatory is a relaxed and comfortable place to sit. Our room was OK, fairly small but clean and comfortable with the key amenities. Staff were very pleasant. Plenty of parking. About £11 to £13 to get an uber into Durham city centre.
Excellent spacious room, very clean and tidy. Location brilliant for exploring Durham, a short walk across a bridge to the city centre. Very friendly staff, lovely pub on the ground floor, and easy access to the building whatever the time.of day or night.
Perectly located for Durham city centre, very well appointed hotel with good rooms, quiet and comfortable with no problem working or sleeping in standard rooms. Often upgraded here as well. Gym which has enough for me too.
Great hotel, staff were absolutely lovely and helpful and the room was clean and comfy :) would definitely return! Lovely location and the pub itself had a great selection of drinks at really reasonable prices.
Charming, comfortable, secure and Great Full English breakfast. Billy and Debbie are Salt of the Earth… Good People, Gracious - Warm - Welcoming.
I know where I will be staying next time I travel to Durham!
For the price, the hotel is kind of well located: a easily accessible bus that got to city centre of Durham and close to getting out onto A1. Shower is hot and strong.
The hotel is in a really nice converted university building with plenty of character. Good location for exploring Durham. Good sized rooms and nicely finished.
The hotel is within easy walking distance of all the major sights in Durham, close to lots of restaurants and pubs. Very pleasant room, comfortably furnished.
