Durham Inns from €49

If you've scanned through all the big-name hotels and resorts and can't find anything that'll suit your budget, Durham Inns could be just what you're after. Run for real travellers, this age-old style of lodging is sure to keep costs to a minimum. Granted, it's not going to be as shoestring as a campground, but with the added draws of hearty food and regional beers on tap, the chance to sleep in individually designed suites or to chat to locals over a local ale, it's clear that there's loads of extras packed into the price.

Something special in Durham Inns

It shouldn't be hard to find inns for holiday breaks in Durham that burst with character. That's precisely what this sort of stay is all about – something different, something really memorable. It could be that there's a lively pub joined to the rooms. It could be that there's a leafy garden out front. It could be that there's a kitchen that sizzles with the scents of local produce and regional cooking. Whatever it is that sets them apart, you're bound to find something special in Durham Inns.

Food is actually one of the main features of an inn. It's what makes it different to a B&B or classic hotel. Originally conceived of as pitstops for travellers on long-distance trading routes, these establishments almost always have an on-site kitchen and bar. That's great news if you were hoping to sample bona fide Durham cuisine, or if you're looking for a stay somewhere a little more off the beaten path, far away from all the main restaurants and bistros.

A country stay in Durham Inns

Because they've traditionally been out-of-town lodgings, historically fringing main roadways leading in and out of destinations, don't be surprised if you find many Durham Inns nestled in the countryside. To go with the location, a large proportion of these sorts of accommodations are pet-friendly, sat close to popular nature parks and near the start of major hiking trails. There's plenty of scope to feel surrounded by nature, away from the hustle and bustle of the busier parts of town.
