The perfect location for visiting Durham and North East England

One cottage is located in Durham City, one is in Sherburn Village, just outside Durham, both of them have access to good local amenities and transport within walking distance.

Each cottage very much has its own character. The cottages are available for short breaks or longer and offer perfect self catering accommodation for two people. Stay in one of our well equipped cottages and get away from it all, while feeling at home.

If you are visiting Durham University or Cathedral, watching Durham County Cricket, visiting students or just exploring the historic surroundings we have a cottage for you.
