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.

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.
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.

I loved Durham. I did a tour of the Cathedral and Castle.
I loved Durham. I did a tour of the Cathedral and Castle. I felt very safe being on my own and people I did speak to were very chatty.
It was very peaceful walking along the river.
There did seem to be an awful lot of Church's,
I attended the Easter Service at the Cathedral, it was lovely. The choir had 30 children and 11 adults in it. The volunteers were very good.
I would like to come again soon.
I stayed at the Kingslodge Inn, and ate there and at an Indian Restaurant Alishan. The food was delicious.
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.
I’ve stayed here before and I will stay here again. It’s exactly what you would expect of a Radisson. Beds are comfy, rooms are spacious, hotel is clean and the employees are friendly (except for one cranky guy in the dining room, but I think he was just having a bad day). And the food is good. Plus the location is great! Along the River and everything is easily accessible within walking distance.
Had a fabulous stay at Hotel Indigo. Such a beautiful old hotel with lots of character. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. Breakfast was lovely and a good selection. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Durham and we will definitely be booking again
Just the nicest people you ever want to deal with. They really went out of theway to make sure we had parking, stored our luggage past check out and were incredibly helpful. ...and the location makes the place th best place in Durham. 4 to 5 minute walk into the old city. Wonderfual.
Reception staff were lovely, professional and helpful.
Room was very spacious, clean and tidy.
There is no check in time which is excellent.
Great location. Lots of food places, bars etc surrounding and is a 5-10 minute walk from Durham City Centre.
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.
The hotel was clean and quiet. Was the perfect location for visiting Durham University. We were pleasantly surprised for the price, to find tea and coffee making facilities in the room as well as biscuits and bottled water.
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.
A really lovely apartment, well presented and comfortable. A great location too, only 5 minutes walk to the city centre. Highly recommended, will definitely book here again on my next trip to Durham.
Great well equipped kitchen and bathrooms with everything you could need and more.
Ideal location for visiting Durham city centre with secure parking.
Comfortable bed and spacious bedrooms.
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.
