Sacred English Heritage
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.

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 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 booked as we were getting married in Durham City Centre and wanted additional space to get ready.
The apartment was everything we needed and more.
Central location, parking space, comfy beds and stylish space. Great outdoor area.
James was amazing and provided an amazing hamper and was so accomodating with the make up, hair and photographer attending during the day-arranging that they could park in the car park.
The hotel is in a great location, close to the city centre and the train station, and within walking distance of several cafes, pubs, restaurants, shops, supermarkets, and the main sights. The rooms were comfortable and spacious, and staff were efficient and helpful. There was a good range of continental and cooked options for breakfast each morning.
Great small cottage - ideal location to explore Durham . Also within 20 mile of some nice quiet beaches for walks . I can also suggest local picnic area, with old railway tracks lovely place to chill less than 5 minutes away . Host was helpful and recommended local venues to eat . Great pub over the road .
Lovely quiet hotel set in pretty scenery just a few miles from Durham City centre, which is easily accessible.
Good sized bedroom with extra large, comfortable bed. Excellent breakfast in the morning.
Very friendly helpful staff.
Excellent value for money.
Very nice little hotel. I was in Durham for my daughter's graduation and this hotel was a block away from her accommodations. Breakfast was fantastic, room was exactly as described, and staff was super friendly. Would definitely stay again.
The hotel was clean and quiet. Was the perfect location for visiting Durham University. We were pleasantly surprised for the price, to find tea and coffee making facilities in the room as well as biscuits and bottled water.
Quiet location close to the main road network (so easy to get to Durham., coast, etc.) with facilities that meant we could be comfy there when the weather was bad, make up picnics, and even cook an evening meal easily.
A really lovely apartment, well presented and comfortable. A great location too, only 5 minutes walk to the city centre. Highly recommended, will definitely book here again on my next trip to Durham.
Excellent vfm and a unique setting. Room was comfortable and continental breakfast was very good. Staff were very helpful and informative. Excellent base for exploring Durham and surrounding areas.
