Durham Hotels

Welcome to the Rose and Crown – one of the best Durham hotels, in a quintessentially English village and surrounded by breathtaking scenery. As Fiona Duncan of the Sunday Telegraph writes, “Everything about this place is perfect.”

Step inside and you will see a hallway festooned with awards - testimony to the high standards of hospitality that make the Rose and Crown one of the foremost Durham hotels where foos is of the essence and guests stay sumptuous comfort. 

Locally sourced produce, freshly cooked and beautifully presented can be savoured in either the elegant restaurant or less formally in the brasserie.  Drinks are enjoyed in the cosy bar with its open log fire or summer al fresco overlooking the village green.  And there is a beautifully furnished and cosy lounge for tea or coffee or just somewhere to relax with a good book.

As befits one of the most popular Durham hotels all the rooms are stylishly furnished under the careful supervision of Ali Davy, superbly comfortable and well equipped with those little touches that make a guest’s stay special – Bose sound systems, glossy magazines, a copy of Come Rain or Shine (Chris and Ali’s personal guide to County Durham), luxury toiletries and big fluffy towels.

Throughout the historic building contemporary styling combines with original features to create a superbly comfortable and welcoming place to stay – without a doubt a very special gem and one of the finest Durham hotels.
