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.

    Wonderful Cathedral, Castle and city centre full of interesting history. Take a long walk along the tow path to enjoy the views. Check out Flat White cafe for coffee and amazing brunch at 10am on Sundays but get there early to avoid the long queues.

    Durham was very interesting with many interesting and varied sights. Lovely historical buildings, modern shopping facilities and a beautiful setting with riverside walks and gardens within a stones throw. The Cathedral was wonderful and there were plentiful choices of eateries. We chose a Turkish restaurant which proved to be very reasonable and the meal was excellent.

    Tradional hotel 10 minutes from the train station 10 minutes from the city centre located at top of a hill with great views of the city with outside garden for my dog. After lots of research, the only decent dog friendly hotel in Durham City. Stayed for two nights was in the area to get a new passport which is also only 15 minutes from the hotel to durham passport office.

    The hotel is ideally situated for exploring Durham, right at the bottom of Elvet Bridge which leads into the compact city centre. The rooms are located over a busy pub, so it can get a bit lively but the spacious and very well appointed Studio apartment that we stayed in was right at the top of the house, so away from the immediate noise.

    The room was comfortable, well equipped and clean. The Continental breakfast was diverse, tasty and well presented. The pub is a short and pleasant riverside walk from Durham city centre and is also served by a pretty frequent bus service into Durham.
