FAQs about hotels in Durham
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.
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 is a great place for a short break.
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.AmandaUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10
Lovely town centre, quaint streets and shops.
Lovely town centre, quaint streets and shops. Cathedral is a must! No charge for admission but a donation is appreciated. Cathedral restaurant is very good Every single local we spoke to was pleasant and friendly. An absolutely lovely place Only downside is the hills. We struggled a little 4th Photo is view from the B&B

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.

Durham is a stunning university town with a traditional marketplace. The architecture is beautiful, there are a few museums and lots of good places to eat. No visit is complete without visiting the cathedral!HarrietChina - 10Scored 10
Beautiful walks and historic building.
Beautiful walks and historic building. Worth doing a city waking tour and then a tour of the castle and also one of the cathedral. Got so much from each of these . Had lovely Sunday lunch in ‘Townhouse, cake in the ‘Riverview Kitchen’ but breakfasts looked amazing.

- From $133.29 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 3,408 reviewsWith the Great North Run that weekend, all hotels were asking more than double their usual rate. So decided to pay for the luxury of a Delta hotel for the same price, and so glad we did! Cheerful welcoming staff, and oh what a gorgeous room! Everything one could wish for in a beautiful room, and could've quire easily stayed in it all night rather than attend the night out we'd travelled for. Whenever we are in Durham again, I will book this room, absolutely perfect!
RichardUnited Kingdom - 9.3Scored 9.3WonderfulRated wonderful· 19 reviewsThis accommodation was perfect for our needs. It was absolutely simple to find and surpassed our expectations from the moment we opened the front door. It all looks like new with comfortable beds, clean towels and is spotlessly clean throughout. I cannot recommend it highly enough. If you need a place with an easy drive or bus to Durham City centre, this is the place. Communication with the hosts was faultless and the welcome we received was lovely.
TonyUnited Kingdom - 8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 512 reviewsTthe staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was lovely. The location is good as you can walk into Durham and, if you are driving from the A1, it is conveneient as you don't have to go into the City Centre and free parking is plentiful. It is also incredible value for money as Durham hotels are usually on the expensive side.LejkUnited Kingdom
