Superking beds, spacious and comfortable ground floor apartment near town centre
We had a lovely long weekend stay to visit family and go to the Miners Gala. The flat is really spacious and has all you need. Emma responded quickly to my questions. We'd definitely stay there again.

Durham City Cottages
Stayed for 3 nights over New Year...was absolute bliss. Late booking and the communication was brilliant to get it sorted. Cottage was immaculate throughout with everything we needed. Perfect location for walks, and yet only 5 minutes from shops and Durham centre Will be returning again for sure...thank ...
