About Farnley Tower Guesthouse
Farnley Tower is a Victorian mansion on the outskirts of Durham city, set in a quiet residential conservation area yet under ten minutes' walk from the centre, station and historic sites. Its elevated position gives many of the 17 individually designed en-suite rooms views towards Durham Castle, the cathedral and the surrounding countryside.
The guesthouse has its own restaurant and bar, Holi and Bhang, serving Indian food seven nights a week, along with free Wi-Fi and on-site parking, which is a useful draw in a city where parking near the centre is limited.
Its combination of period character, views and a quieter setting than the peninsula hotels makes it a popular choice for visitors wanting a guesthouse feel with hotel-standard facilities.
