Chris and Wendy
The apartment is located in the heart of the city centre, within 5 minutes walk to the Cathedral and castle. It benefits from being situated on the banks of the river Wear with Durham University rowing boats frequently passing.
We’re Chris & Wendy, the owners of Durham Riverside Apartments. The first apartment was originally purchased for our son who was studying law at Durham University and was offered as holiday accommodation during the summer break to the academic year. We soon realised the demand for such centrally located accommodation for other visiting parents and so the second apartment came to fruition. We now take pleasure in ensuring that our guests receive a 5-star welcome and aim to make their stay with us as relaxing as possible.
The apartments are in a beautiful riverside location in the centre of Durham city, safe and secure with CCTV coverage for peace of mind and secure underground parking. Durham City police station is 100 metres away. The riverside is quiet but the centre of the city has bars and events which can be loud.
