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 has a lovely city centre and an interesting historical heritage. I visit once a year. MAY/June is my favorite time, and also christmas with the christmas fair at the Cathedral is lovely.
You can easily walk around Durham in a few hours. There are also parks and other areas surrounded the city that ar lovely.
Visit "the Cafédral" for a cream scone and cakes! We have stayed at several hotels - our favorites are Kings Lodge Inn, and Ramshall Golf&Spa hotel.
The cathedral itself is stunning and do take a guided walk! Highly recommended.
The city is a university city - so do avoid coming when there are graduation ceremonies - it will be impossible to find somewhere to eat.
There are several nice places to stay also.
Durham has easy access to the translation for day trips to other cities. Just a short trip to York and Edinburgh.
Take note that there isn't possible to visit the castle anymore, as it is now used by the university. Best evenings out ar wednesday and Fridays. I would avoid saturday..

A wonderful city of charm, beuaty and history. Great for real ale pubs, don't miss Vennels Cafe or the Cellar Door restaurant, and many other small independent shops, restaurants, pubs and other traders.

Very nice town. Fun market. Amazing cathedral; quite different from most. River Wear walk and Wharton Park are terrific for strolling and picnics. Durham Dales for longer rambles. Worth coming for several days!

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.
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.
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.
The staff were excellent, and couldn't do more for us, nothing was too much trouble.
The room was very nicely decorated with a comfortable bed and a great shower.
The hotel is very close to Durham City Centre, with it only being a 10-minute drive.
The on-site restaurant has some delicious food available with our personal recommendations being the garlic mushrooms, mince on mash, lasagne, lamb koftas.and Chinese chicken sizzlers.
The breakfast was also very nice and filling
The hotel was fine for a one night stay - the room was very clean if not particularly big (I think we were told that we had been upgraded). The location is great - very close to the city centre/river/cathedral - and we were able to park on the road outside for £1.60 (normally more but no charges until Monday after 6pm on Saturday). The staff were very friendly.
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.
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.

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.
The location was excellent, within easy walking distance to shops and restaurants in Durham. Also convenient to the University and Cathedral. We didn't have to drive to see the local sights we wanted to see.
Huge, beautiful castle-like hotel. The room was perfect, spacious, stylish, quiet, comfortable and with a great toilet. Also it was very close to the main attractions of the city. I totally recommend it.
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.
Very cheap. Around 10 mins drive to Durham city centre. Area of room and toilet are spacious. Bed is also comfortable for single person. Room has everything I need
Very centrally located
