Durham is well known for its university life and cathedral, while attractions include Gala Theatre Durham and Durham Cathedral. This welcoming city has something for everyone including its rich culture, restaurants and sights like Adventure Valley and Diggerland.
Much of the city is walkable and the historic attractions are well worth seeing. It is clearly a university city but that gives a vibrancy missing in other cities. Parts of the city are a step back in time and are well worth exploring, day or night.

Cathedral and castle is a great place to visit. Take a guided tour if you're really interested. Eating at Fabios is excellent and great service and friendly and atmosphere. Really good breakfast at Chapters. Indoor market worth a nosey too.

Lots of history all around as well as new areas. Fairly good for clothes shopping if you like EWM, Next, Monsoon and New Look. Tesco's is the local supermarket for the many students here. Pleasant walk along the river when it's good weather.

Love Durham but not brilliant for wheelchair users as lots of cobbled streets and steps into coffee shops and restaurants.

Very nice old town. Well worth a visit. Cathedral, castle, river walks. Lovely coffee shops, bars and restaurants.
"I forgot what they call it when there’s a gem within a gem; I think the term is inclusion. In any case Durham itself as a gem, and this hotel feels like the best of the charming character of Durham distilled into a building that’s at once historical, and yet completely full of modern convenience."
"We had a lovely stay at the Dakota. We were greeted at the door by 2 staff members who were lovely and showed us to reception. Reception staff were lovely and friendly, engaged in conversation asking about our day. Wished me a Happy Birthday and our room was ready early, so was able to check in a good couple of hours earlier. Room was nice and spacious, clean and we could monitor the air con. Our overall stay was amazing and would definately reccomend. We didnt go in tbe restaurant/bar or stayed for breakfast so cant comment on this. "
"We stay here for the annual sela cup and its the perfect base for st james park, the city centre and train station. The staff are always friendly and the bag storage even on departing is a godsend. Rooms are pleasant enough and the beds are comfy. "
