Unbox at Poplar Tree, hotel in Durham

Boasting a garden and views of garden, Unbox at Poplar Tree is a recently renovated holiday home situated in Durham, 23 km from Beamish Museum.

These brand new lodges are excellent. Durham is a short(ish) walk away - 5 mins in a car. Great for looking around the university and/or relaxing with nature next to the river. I especially like the power shower, the views, the fresh flowers, fruit, wine touches. The overseer James is on hand and can’t do enough.

    Great location, facilities and comfort for a large family or group. We loved how we could just let the kids play in the garden while we enjoyed the hot tub. The pool was great, we spent hours each day in there! The views from the cottage were stunning and the cottage itself was really comfortable.

    We loved the cottage, it was immaculately clean and tidy with everything you could need. The log fire was all ready for us with extra logs, it was so lovely and cosy. We particularly liked how private and quiet it was and the gardens were lovely. We enjoyed the hot tub very much and it was the highlight of our stay. The hosts were excellent with communication too! We are looking forward to returning. 10/10
