Das Apartment ist sehr zentral und trotzdem erstaunlich ruhig gelegen, da es von der Straße abgewandt und in zweiter Reihe liegt. Die Terrasse grenzt unmittelbar an den Fluss Wear, auf dem Enten, Eisvögel, Ruderer usw. vorbeiziehen. Gleichzeitig ist man zu Fuß in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß in der City und an der Kathedrale. Als Ausgangspunkt für touristische und kulturelle Aktivitäten in Durham ist es kaum zu toppen.
Everything in the apartment was of a high standard and worked well. The outside terrace overlooking the river was most welcome in the hot weather we experienced. Access from the underground car parking to the apartment was easy via a lift. The personal welcome from Chris was very warm and helpful, and being provided with bread, butter, milk and a bottle of wine after a long car journey was very comforting.
We would certainly consider a return to the apartment if we make another visit to Durham.

*PLEASE BOOK FOR THE TOTAL NUMBER OF GUEST AS WE DO NOT OFFER A UNIT PRICE.*
**Please note that the apartments are located in the city centre and adjacent to several bars. As a university city students will celebrate various achievements throughout the year loudly.**
The first apartment was originally purchased for our son who was studying law at Durham University and was offered as holiday accommodation during the summer break to the academic year. We soon realised the demand for such a centrally located venue for other visiting parents and so the second apartment came to fruition.
We now take pleasure in ensuring that our guest receive a 5-star welcome and aim to make their stay with us as relaxing as possible.
