Named as ‘One of the Best Cities to Visit in 2020’, Durham is a beautiful and charming area within the North East. Known as the ‘perfect little city’, Durham has the best mix of everything and it all blends seamlessly. It retains its medieval heritage, but it also has a modern and vibrant twist. It boasts lush green landscapes, but it also has busy cobbled streets with independent shops, bars and restaurants.
Durham has plenty of history within its walls. One of the most spectacular historic sites is Durham Cathedral. Constructed between 1103 and 1133, this towering building is a shining example of Norman architecture. The cathedral is now the oldest surviving building with a stone vaulted ceiling of such a large scale.
Getting Around
Getting around could not be easier with numerous frequent bus routes into the city centre and good road links.
Durham train station has direct routes to locations across the UK so is perfect for those guests looking for a peaceful space to work from. Getting to other locations around the UK from Durham could not be easier.
Guests have access to the full property. The keys to the property are accessed via a secure key safe box, details of which will be provided prior to your stay.
Free on-street parking is available outside the property and nearby on a first come, first served basis.

Lovely decorated and comfortable accommodation. Thoughtful to leave bag of biscuits. Well designed and Functional kitchen Heating wasn’t set and we needed to worked out how it worked. Tv is placed in a position that is difficult to be seen from sitting room chairs. Bathroom is situated downstairs away from bedrooms and bathroom door doesn’t close properly.

I lived in this cosy house for five days, which was really joyful. The house was quite big and roomy. It is also convenient as there are two bus stops near the house, and arriving at Durham city centre is easy. There is also a small Morrison shop in the community. The environment is also amazing and quiet.
