Eat & Drink
Offering British dishes, Seven Stars Inn is a 5-minute walk away.
“The Seven Stars is a wallet-friendly alternative to Durham's pricier city center options, offering clean and warm rooms alongside a restaurant where the food is plentiful; the staff are particularly welcoming, making up for the inn's need for a refresh. Its location, while convenient for exploring Durham and close to the MetroCentre, does mean on-street parking and potential road noise, so plan accordingly. This family and historical themed hotel is ideal for budget-conscious travelers.”
