Durham City Breaks

If you’re looking for a better alternative to the hotels in Durham, look no further than our serviced accommodation in Durham. It’s the ideal way to get to know this ancient town, set high on a rocky peninsula overlooking the river Wear.

The magnificent Cathedral is a must see during your stay in Durham. One of the finest examples of Norman architecture, the Cathedral is unusual in its Moorish influences. And don’t miss Durham Castle, now a part of the famous university here, and easily reached from our family accommodation. Durham has a compact city centre, making it a joy to explore the fine old buildings and interesting shops that line the streets. Sipping a coffee in the old cobbled Market Place and enjoying the street entertainers here is one of the highlights of a weekend break in Durham. You’ll find culture aplenty at the new Millennium Place in the heart of the city - a short trip from our self catering accommodation in Durham. While if you feel the need for some peace and quiet during one of our short breaks in Durham, stroll down to the river banks and watch the rowers practicing. And for a family day out during one of our city breaks in Durham head off to Metroland in Gateshead, taking in the Angel of the North on the way. View breaks in this city »
