Chapel Court Apartment

Durham's medieval streets and cathedral precincts are within walking distance of Chapel Court Apartment, a ground-floor space designed for two people who want their own front door and a proper base rather than a hotel room. The single bedroom has a king bed; the bathroom is modern with a shower cubicle and heated towel rail. Everything else – living area, dining space and kitchen – sits on one level, which means no stairs to negotiate after a day out.

The kitchen has an induction hob, electric oven, dishwasher and fridge, so you can cook or simply make tea and toast without fuss. There's a smart TV in the living room, wifi throughout, and parking for one car on site. Bed linen and towels are provided, along with the essentials: heating, electricity and wifi are all included. The apartment is no-smoking.

From here you can reach the cathedral and castle on foot, or drive into the surrounding countryside – the North Pennines and Yorkshire Dales are both within reach for day trips. The location suits people who want a quiet apartment with easy access to Durham's history and the walks beyond it.
