It is the subtle touches that take a B&B from simply being a B&B, to being a Guest House that you would really recommend to others, and recommend it we do. Cathedral View Town House is, on Gilesgate, at the head of Claypath, ideally situated to walk into the medieval town centre in less than 10 minutes. The room we... More

This was my first visit back to Durham in 35 years after being at university there and it proved to be a lovely experience. The accommodation was excellent, very clean, nicely furnished and decorated, and welcoming. Breakfast was really superb and the owner is friendly and helpful. The views of the city from the back of the guesthouse are wonderful.... More

My husband and I stayed here for three nights while visiting family and really enjoyed our stay. The room was very clean and cosy and had everything we needed. The breakfast was excellent probably the best I have ever had. Jim and Karen were also very welcoming and helpful. We were sad to have to leave and would definately come... More

Chose this accommodation after reading favourable reviews on trip advisor. We were certainly not disappointed as the standard of the accommodation and breakfast were excellent. We would recommend the Cathedral View wholeheartedly and should add that it is less than a 10 minute walk into Durham Centre. Perfect spot for sightseeing from and amazing views.

Bathroom was roomy and water pressure was very good. Wifi worked fine with good bandwidth. Owner was very efficient and friendly. He checked us in and... More

The food is well presented using quality ingredients from local trusted suppliers. We had four excellent nights over Easter and spent time in... More

Very comfortable, warm place to stay. Lovely guest lounge with complementary glass of sherry, which was a real treat! Lots of guide books available for the city and surrounding area. But the thing that really sets this place apart is the choices for breakfast - a great range of cooked options, and a wonderful cold buffet as well. Great views... More

We just returned from a mini-break in Durham, where we stayed at this great, extremely well located B&B. The host couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. Our room was lovely and warm on arrival, everything was clean and modern (loved the bathroom) and there was lots of room. The lounge was very welcoming, with a fire always going. And... More

The rooms were very comfortable and clean, while the bathroom was spotless and spacious. The bed and breakfast was about a 15 minute walk to the centre (uphill on the way back) and there was metered parking across the street (for which we were given a parking permit). The breakfast was amazing. A great amount of choice (from traditional English... More
