Interesting old building, beautifully restored and looked after. Being just a short walk from the river and pedestrian bridge and all the sites, made it an ideal holiday destination.

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.

Quaint compact city, lots of cobbles, great cathedral and castle at the top of the hill. Small shops and cafes. Can recommend river side walks, indoor market and cathedral shop and cafe. Easily accessed by train. This last visit was specifically for the Christmas market - well worth it and the kids carol service in the cathedral was a bonus.

Small enough to navigate in a weekend.
Small enough to navigate in a weekend. Major attractions - cathedral and castle- within touching distance. Both amazing and guides were both interesting and informative. Quaint cobbled streets and central square. Absence of the usual chain stores and a myriad of small shops and eateries helping to create a unique atmosphere. I loved it!

Loved a walk around the peninsula and the views of the cathedral were spectacular from all directions. Worth attending a service if you can for the experience of hearing the choir even if you are not religious. Lots of places to eat but worth booking as very busy at the weekend with students and visitors. Recommend the service and experience at Rio Durham and the cafe in the market is a hidden gem.

We didn't see much as we were there for one night on the way to somewhere else, but we had a lovely dinner and the city looked beautiful with a lot of history. It makes me feel like I want to go back to see more.

a small and pretty /beautiful city with riverside walks and countryside surroundings easily accessed by footpaths and bridleways : stone architecture, old buildings, cobbled places , car-free centre , bike friendly , lots of diverse eating places . Friendly atmosphere , sense of community , welcoming. Open air Saturday market, indoor market too in week.
The buses are cheap and plentiful and well-used .
I didn't take the guided tour of the Castle but the Cathedral is open to visitors and is totally stunning -architecture and artwork and links to local community . The tower I left for others without vertigo - I expect the view is amazing .
My favourite were the bridges across the river which wends its way through the city with tree reflections ,riverside walks and boat trips .

A nice hotel with a bit of character. The outside garden area was lovely and the conservatory is a relaxed and comfortable place to sit. Our room was OK, fairly small but clean and comfortable with the key amenities. Staff were very pleasant. Plenty of parking. About £11 to £13 to get an uber into Durham city centre.
Perectly located for Durham city centre, very well appointed hotel with good rooms, quiet and comfortable with no problem working or sleeping in standard rooms. Often upgraded here as well. Gym which has enough for me too.
