Pity Me

Pity Me offers a peaceful escape from Durham's city bustle with its charming residential streets and local pubs. This small village gives you an authentic slice of English suburban life, complete with friendly locals and well-kept gardens. The nearby Lambton Worm pub serves up hearty British meals and local ales after a day of exploring. Getting to Durham's attractions is a breeze with regular bus services making the 15-minute journey into the city centre. Accommodations here are budget-friendly B&Bs in converted family homes, offering cozy rooms and personal host interactions at prices much lower than downtown.

Brasside feels like a secret hideaway just beyond the bustle of Durham city. This quiet residential suburb puts you close to nature with the Low Newton Reserve right there for peaceful walks through the woods.

Budget-friendly B&Bs in converted family homes make this area easy on your wallet. Most visitors grab a rental car for flexibility since bus service is limited. The local pub offers a taste of authentic British community life while Durham's varied dining scene is just 15 minutes away.

Village Hotel Newcastle

Village Hotel Newcastle

8/10 Good
"Room is spacious has good mattress. No air-con has fan, no fridge. Room is clean. Refilled complementary water and coffee pods every day. Breakfast is pretty much the same every day. I didn’t feel welcomed, staffs are present but can’t feel that they’re there. Massive pool and 3 jacuzzis, we only went once. Shower rooms have empty shower gel and shampoo bottles. A lot of people in and out of hotel mostly gym members if I’m not mistaken, would be nice if they have other entrance. Went there for our 15th wedding anniversary would be nice if the hotel put simple greeting card to make it special but yeah I guess it’s not the same for all the hotels."

"The staff is absolutely 5 star! They go above and beyond and truly make you feel like a guest … they’re so helpful and kind ! My only con about this property is the lack of a traditional lobby with seating area etc, the cafe downstairs is dark and gloomy although the scones are delicious and the staff is super kind as well !"

Honest Lawyer Hotel

8/10 Good
"Good and reasonably priced Hotel with Great Food The check in was a quick and easy process. The room was a good size with a decent sized table to use my laptop on, good amount of power points, and with the decent speed free internet made it a very useful stop over. The shower and bathroom were good, but let down a bit by tatty worn painting work, along with the extractor fan not being hoovered out and quite dusty. The window opening and fascia above were tatty and quite dirty. Unfortunately the bed was squeaky when you moved, and wasn’t too comfortable. The food in the bar was very good, good portions, tasty and reasonably priced. The staff in the pub were friendly and efficient, and the service was quick, including bringing the food out to us. The room was quiet and had good views of woodland at the back, and was not affected by any light from the front of the Hotel car park. The parking right outside the rooms were great, peace of mind the car was visible and good lighting in the car park, making it a reassuring feeling parking the car. At the price point it was a reasonably priced stop over."

10/10 Excellent
"Beautifully maintained Castle and grounds. Room was exceptional, makes you feel like a king or queen. Nice quiet bar to have a drink, great dining room and quality food. Great cooked to order English breakfast. Everything was great. It set a stand for us for the rest of our castle hotel search. I would stay here anytime. One suggestion though is to have soothing, calming music at breakfast, as background music, instead of 'hit parade'."
