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.
