About Castle View Guest House

Castle View Guest House occupies a period building a short walk from Durham's Market Place, castle and cathedral, and has built a strong reputation among visitors for spacious, spotlessly kept rooms and a generous cooked breakfast.

Rooms are en suite with modern bathrooms and plenty of storage, a point regularly picked out by returning guests, and the owners are known for a friendly, personal welcome that larger hotels in the city cannot easily match.

Its central location is a genuine advantage for exploring Durham on foot, though on-street parking nearby is limited and can be expensive, so it suits visitors arriving by train or those happy to use one of the city's Park and Ride car parks.

Really nice 2-night stay at Castle View. Rooms were exceptionally clean and well appointed. Breakfast options were great and host greeted us personally and made us feel at home. Easy walk to everything you needed to see in Durham.

Absolutely outstanding guest house - I was really impressed from the moment I arrived. The room was enormous and very comfortable, with everything I needed and was excellent value for money. It was the perfect temperature and almost unnervingly quiet and peaceful. The bed was very comfortable and everything was spotless. Breakfast was great, and the owners were very accommodating. I will definitely stay there again when I am next in Durham.

A lovely stay in a fantastic location, just a 10-minute walk to the castle 🏰. We visited at the beginning of the week, so it was nice and quiet, with the pub across the street closed during that time 🍻. Parking was free with a 3-hour permit, and it's free from 6pm to 8am 🚗💨. The place is super clean, with high-quality furniture, and the bed was incredibly comfortable 🛏️. The bed linens were top-notch as well. Breakfast was amazing, with a generous selection of quality items 🥐🍳. The hot chocolate was the best I've had in a long time ☕🍫. There’s also a great variety of tea and coffee to choose from provided in the room🍵. Highly recommend!
