“This inn places you squarely in Durham's center, but its special touch is the themed rooms, turning a practical stay into something more memorable. While you're close to attractions like the cathedral and the library, the on-site pub offers its own charm, with the potential for a lively evening. I think the location and character make it a solid choice for exploring the city.”
