Tucked away in the historic city of Durham, this cool and contemporary home is the perfect base for guests looking to explore the city and nature in equal measure. Colourful velvet sofas, a swish, modern kitchen, and three plush bedrooms will welcome you when you arrive. Start your day with breakfast together in the sleek dining space before heading out. The home is perfectly located by Durham’s architecture and hotspots. This breathtaking city is steeped in history, from its Norman castle and cathedral to the Victorian university. We highly recommend climbing the town’s tower for sweeping views of the city and countryside. Stroll along the cobbled streets, sample exquisite restaurants, or enjoy long country walks on the outskirts of town. You can easily walk to Durham train station in just 20 to explore nearby towns and cities.
