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 city with lots of great places to eat.
Durham is a great city with lots of great places to eat. The Beamish museum is a short car journey away and is a great family day out. The cathedral and castle are an amazing visit to Durham's past. Expect to do a lot of walking, and most of it uphill. Durham like most historic city's has beautiful cobbled streets so good comfortable shoes are recommended.

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.

The hotel is located on the river just a short walk to the city centre. My room had lots of space and comfortable. I liked the coffee table and chair by the window in particular. The bathroom has everything you need as well as being very clean. The breakfast was really enjoyable with lots of choice. Lastly it is possible to use the spa facilities as a guest. There is a pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi, which is a real added bonus for a stay.
The hotel was in a great location just a short walk from the city centre, cathedral and castle. The hotel had a very pleasant ambience to it. The staff were very pleasant. The reception, lounge and bar areas were very pleasant, as was the coffee shop. We didn't use the restaurant.
The room had a fridge and kettle, with tea, coffee and biscuits which was nice.
Good value for money,interesting buildings,amazing chapel is well worth visiting,never seen anything like it..
Nice garden's to walk round and an excellent breakfast included in nice surroundings with helpful staff.Room's not posh but clean and worth the money,a different experience from a normal hotel.would stay again.
A great little hotel, so convenient for the city centre, and very comfortable. Lovely friendly staff, rooms sparklingly clean, and a very tasty breakfast. My third or fourth visit, and I’ve been recommending it to friends and family who will be visiting Durham soon.
The hotel is beautiful and elegant. Everything is very clean. The cooked breakfast was quite nice. The hotel is located up a hill from the town center and overlooks a beautiful wild area toward the river. Be sure to take a walk along the river if you stay in Durham.
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.
Staff were friendly, professional and helpful. Hotel is very, very nice, Breakfast was excellent in that beautiful Restaurant (Marco Pierre White's attached). Handy for the Cathedral, river and City centre. Next time in Durham I will stay again.
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.
Excellent little hotel, good night's sleep, reception were friendly, staff were really friendly.
Perfect location just down the road from Durham University.🌷. Excellent Breakfast with really good friendly service.

Fabulous hosts. Accommodation was above a traditional pub which was friendly, inviting, busy and local - 9 minute walk into Durham City centre, if that.
Room was lovely and clean.
The hotel was a real 'Inn'. The room was clean, large and well-equipped and the staff were very friendly. They happily stored our luggage for us after we had checked out.
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.
