17 handpicked places to stay

Durham city holds most of the county's accommodation, and staying within walking distance of the cathedral and castle is easy to arrange. The Victorian Town House and Castle View Guest House sit close to the old town, ideal for exploring on foot, while Hotel Indigo Durham and the Radisson Blu occupy more central positions geared towards visitors wanting comfort alongside the sights.
Further out, options change character. Ramside Hall Hotel, Golf and Spa suits those after grounds and leisure facilities rather than a city-centre base, and Farnley Tower Guesthouse offers a quieter setting still within reach of the centre. Budget chains such as Travelodge Durham and OYO The Townhouse work well for short stopovers or drivers passing through on the A1.
Choosing between them largely comes down to whether you want cathedral views on your doorstep or a bit more space and parking a short drive away.
