My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Plawsworth Hall Serviced Cottages and Apartments, and I was absolutely blown away by the experience. The property is located in the idyllic village of Plawsworth, just a short drive from Durham City. The setting is absolutely stunning, with rolling hills and lush green countryside all around. The cottages and apartments themselves are beautifully appointed and spacious. Our two-bedroom apartment had everything we could possibly need, including a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable living room, and two bedrooms. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and we slept like babies. The owner of the property, was incredibly friendly and helpful. He was on site to greet us on arrival and gave us a tour of the property. He also made sure that we had everything we needed during our stay. We spent our days exploring the beautiful countryside around Plawsworth. We visited Durham Cathedral, Hadrian's Wall, and the Beamish Museum. We also enjoyed some great food at the local restaurants. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. Here are some additional details about our stay: The rooms were very clean and well-maintained. The beds were super comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. The owner was very friendly and helpful. The facilities were excellent. The food was delicious. We would definitely stay at Plawsworth Hall again. It is a perfect place to relax and enjoy

    This hotel is amazing! Gillian went above and beyond for us, she knew it was for a birthday and decorated the room with balloons and a card from the venue. We stayed in the family studio which is the penthouse and it was immaculate, great size and lovely decorated. The location is great 👍 near to Elvet Bridge and ubers were around all the time for getting elsewhere. The rates are amazing. We will defo be back! Thank you so much.
