Grafton House Hotel ****


Formerly a private residence, on possibly the best street in Durham City, this boutique hotel has been created with love, care and meticulous attention to detail.

Not only are the interiors stunning, but the hotel is situated in a conservation area and enjoys breathtaking views of Durham Castle and cathedral. We have 10 individual bedrooms that allow you to escape from the hustle and bustle and stresses of the outside world. Recharge your batteries, relax and enjoy.

Why not borrow a pair of wellington boots and explore the shady wooded riverbanks that offer a retreat and a haven of peace, with delightful walks and boat trips on the River Wear.

Whether you prefer country houses and gardens, historic castles or museums there is plenty to visit in North-East England.
