Property information

If we had to choose one word to sum up why people are choosing Plawsworth Hall cottages over traditional hotels…that word would be freedom. With hotels you get a room, with us you get a home. A key to your own front door with the freedom to come and go as you please. Have some friends over for drinks, relax in front of the TV, cook a meal or order a takeaway. The choice is entirely yours.Imagine your home in the middle of beautiful Durham countryside. You look out of the window and see green fields and blue sky, the silence disturbed only by the birds singing. You step-out into a gorgeous private courtyard, perfect for lazy days, alfresco dining and having fun with the kids. And there’s an abundance of car parking space too.There are no “hidden extras” like drinks from the mini-bar or telephone charges and the cost is much less than most hotels. And, unlike most holiday homes, we’re VAT registered which makes us even more competitive for companies that are able to reclaim VAT. Combine the luxury and comfort of a top hotel with the freedom and independence of home and you have it – Plawsworth Hall cottages and apartments.
