10/10 Excellent

This hotel had a great atmosphere even thought it had a very busy restaurant ( the food was great) and the staff went out of their way with any request that you had, the rooms are very modern and kept immaculately clean, very quiet even thought next to a busy road, would recommend it anyone that was looking to go there

Durham and its attractions for beach lovers

While Durham is renowned for its rich history and stunning architecture, it does not boast a beach in the traditional sense. However, for those with an affinity for coastal experiences, a short drive will take you to the beautiful beaches of the North East, such as those found in nearby Tynemouth or Seaham. Enjoy a family day out at Tynemouth Longsands, where golden sands and rolling waves offer the perfect backdrop for building sandcastles or trying your hand at surfing. Meanwhile, Seaham’s picturesque coastline features the striking Nose’s Point, ideal for a scenic stroll and spotting the famous Seaham sea glass. After your beach adventures, return to Durham’s charming city centre, where you can unwind in a range of quality hotels that provide a relaxing atmosphere and excellent service. Staying in the city allows for easy exploration of Durham Castle and the UNESCO-listed Cathedral, both within walking distance, ensuring a perfect blend of beach days and cultural experiences.
