If you’re
looking for some traditional hospitality and a friendly
face then book your room at one of Durham’s homely
guest houses.

guests.
With woodland and riverside walks close by, Castle
View Guest House [map] on Crossgate is a charming 18th century house situated
on a cobbled street. This little hotel is stylishly decorated
and all rooms have a TV, tea/coffee making facilities
and magnificent views of the cathedral and the
castle.
Located on the outskirts of the city, Triermayne [map] is a small and quaint guest house overlooking
the Browney Valley. Guests here can enjoy walks in
the countryside or along the River Wear, which are both
close by, while the city centre tourist attractions are
a pleasant 20 minutes walk away. All the rooms are en
suite with a colour TV and tea/coffee making facilities,
and the hotel caters for special dietary requirements
at breakfast.
If you want to experience the tranquillity of scenic County
Durham then stay a little further out of town, perhaps
at Littletown Lodge [map] in the beautiful village of Littletown. Awarded three
diamonds by the English Tourism Council, this guest
house offers the best in traditional accommodation with
a warm and friendly atmosphere. The lounge and dining
area are decorated with a beamed ceiling and comfortable
seating, where you can relax with a pot of tea or coffee
and biscuits. Bedrooms here come complete with en suite
bathroom, colour TV, central heating, double glazing and
tea/coffee making supplies.
For an old-fashioned inn above a pub with all the mod
cons you’d expect with 21st century accommodation
try the Gilesgate Moor Hotel [map] in Gilesgate. This hotel has been providing travellers with a
place to rest their tired heads for more than 100 years,
and the current owners certainly know how to make their
guests feel welcome. Downstairs, the traditional bar is
an ideal place to relax after a long journey, a day’s
exploring or a gruelling business meeting, while the home-cooked
breakfast is a great way to start a new day.
Other well equipped guesthouses on the edge of Durham
city include the Prince Bishop Guest House [map],
a small, family-run hotel, Alum Waters Guest House [map],
a recently refurbished 14th century farmhouse, and the Hillrise Guest House [map],
a haven to come home to.
