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.

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
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

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
History, education and great coffee.

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 8.2Very good - What previous guests thought, 102 reviewsOur host was attentive and thoughtful, the house was clean and very comfy with great heating and lots of hot water - very easy to park outside and just 10 mins to Durham. Great value for 4 people and we were easily able to go to Durham for the morning and afternoon, pop back to relax for an hour or so then head back to the city as the apartment was so close to the city centre - bigger than a hotel room would have been for a family of 4 and really quite perfect for us.Guest review byO'SullivanUnited Kingdom
- From US$140.77 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.4Very good - What previous guests thought, 3,426 reviewsWe booked the hotel for its proximity to Durham University and we were not disappointed. Within minutes, we were on the Bailey. Due to the university event, breakfast was full of parent + young person pairs and there was plenty of food and beverages. The staff was very friendly. I'll certainly be back.Guest review byTeresaFrance
