Company info

We took over the running of Durham House Hotel in 2021 and feel very lucky to live in such a beautiful house in a stunning village. We have completed a number of large projects on the house since purchasing the property to further improve our guests experience and each winter we close the house to complete improvement work. Our guest reviews regularly mention 'feeling at home away from home' and our high quality breakfast, which we cook to order, using locally sourced products each day.
