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.

What a beautiful and under rated city! Absolutely fabulous historic cathedral which houses the Magna Carta! The center is amazing with shops, restaurants and beautiful medival buildings. Highly recommendGuest review byDeniseUnited States - 10.0
Durham is most beautiful city in the UK
Durham is most beautiful city in the UK Cathedral is the best in UK and its free to enter Guided tour of the castle (£7.50) and going up the cathedral tower (£10) are well worth doing Walking by the river is also recommended. Don't miss the view of the cathedral and the old mill by the weir from the boat house near Prebends BridgeGuest review byAndrewUnited Kingdom - 10.0
Durham City was a great place to visit.
Durham City was a great place to visit. You can spend half a day in the Cathedral, the rest of the time wandering around the city and river, stopping to eat and drink in the great pubs. If you want to get further afield, drive to Beamish Museum, go up onto the Pennines, Visit Kielder Forest, go the coast (Lindisfarne is worth a visit), Whitby isn't that far away and the drive over the moors is great.Guest review byKelliganUnited Kingdom - 10.0

Much of the city is geared towards students but we found at least two good restaurants - the Turkish one and the Italian above it. Beamish was well worth the visit. The first day, we could not gain access to the cathedral because it was matriculation day for the university - but well worth going the second day. Unfortunately, access to the castle is limited to going with a tour on certain days, since it is also a living university college.Guest review byJefferyUnited Kingdom - 10.0
History, education and great coffee.
History, education and great coffee. The centre of Durham is lovely, so are the outskirts, if you are driving then there is plenty of parking and it is signed GPS helps you to find what you are looking for.Guest review byChristineNew Zealand - 2.0

We loved Durham but the Townhouse -the property we booked and paid for through booking.com had shut down. So this was a very stressful start to our stay. We had to find and pay for alternative accommodation out of town as all hotels were booked. Now I cannot get through to anyone from booking.com to get a refund as their help centre is hopelessGuest review byJohnUnited Kingdom

- Scored out of 10, guest rating 10.0Exceptional - What previous guests thought, 10 reviewsOh my goodness, the Hideaway was really lovely! It was beautifully furnished and located in the perfect spot to explore Durham. Just a stone’s throw away from the city centre, it was super convenient. Everything was thought out to perfection, and the coffee machine and wine were a real treat. The hosts, Jo and Chris, were so helpful and gave us the best recommendations for sightseeing and restaurants. I can’t recommend the Hideaway enough!Guest review bySusanUnited Kingdom
