Castle View Guesthouse, hotel in Durham

Situated in Durham, Castle View Guesthouse features 4-star accommodation with private terraces. It is located 25 km from Stadium of Light and provides a housekeeping service.

Lovely B&B, beautifully decorated, good-sized rooms with en-suite. The breakfast was great (although served from 8 am onward), and the staff friendly and helpful. It is not a hotel, so the rooms are not cleaned during your stay (I stayed 4 nights). The location is great, within walking distance from the station and the city centre.

Three Horseshoes Inn, hotel in Durham

The Three Horseshoes is situated within 10 minutes’ drive of the beautiful city of Durham. With parts of the building over 300 years old, it still retains some quirky, original features.

A rainy day as we approached and we were a little apprehensive as the pub/hotel looked a little remote. However, the staff were excellent, very welcoming and friendly. The food was superb, good portion sizes as well. Great location for visiting Durham as well as a short distance from Newcastle

40Winks, hotel in Durham

40Winks is located in Durham, 25 km from Stadium of Light, 28 km from Sage Gateshead, and 28 km from Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art.

The property is beautiful. Grand yet really cosy. They have truly thought of everything. Everywhere you look is a visual delight, everything you touch is purposeful and luxurious. It felt like pure decadence to stay there. The staff were kind and helpful and friendly. Celia went above and beyond to ensure our experience at 40Winks was exceptional (thank you).

The Avenue, a property with a garden and a bar, is set in Durham, 24 km from Beamish Museum, 28 km from Stadium of Light, as well as 30 km from Sage Gateshead.

The Avenue was easy to find and the staff were great. Unfortunately we were too late for an evening meal but the breakfast was really good. There was a good quality tea and coffee selection in the room with biscuits. The room size was ok with twin beds. We were visiting Durham and the location was great, with the buses running past the hotel.

    There is lots of living space, with a lovely sitting room and kitchen, as well as a nice kitchen. If it is sunny there is a cute little garden. Nice and private and quiet. Easy parking for 1 car. Check in very simple with good clear instructions. Quick walk through the forest down to the river. Cheap Uber trips back from restaurants in the evening.

    Spacious, well-maintained and decorated, clean, warm, and quiet. Large comfy king-size bed (didn’t try the double in the 2nd bedroom but it looked just as good), well-equipped kitchen, lovely clean bathroom and cosy living space with a smart TV and great wifi. Great location 5 mins from the City and with private off-road parking. What more could you ask for? Would highly recommend and will definitely try and book again.
