My husband and I will be in the Durham area in late April, 2012. We would love to learn of some recommendations for places to stay. We are finding that some of the more popular B&B's listed in trip advisor are already booked. Many thanks.
You're probably trying to book during Spring Break...just look outside of town...there are tons of B & Bs everywhere...don't worry.
My aunt and uncle and I stayed in an apt. when we visited Durham. It may be a bit bigger than you need but you can see it at: http://www.ukholidayplaces.co.uk/Apartment/Durham/DurhamCityApartmentFreemansQuay_91147269.html. It's located right in the city center and comes with parking in an underground gargage. It was a beautiful place to stay.
Hi Kara,
Have you read this article? It gives a lot of interesting information about Durham. We had hoped to visit there last summer, but unfortunately didn't have enough time since we only had four days in north-east England. If the URL doesn't work, just google John Flinn Durham SF gate and you should get the link. http://articles.sfgate.com/2008-12-14/travel/17131892_1_cathedral-durham-english-town
