The excellent Cross Keys
The Cross Keys is a fantastic base for Durham and surrounding areas. The accommodation is very comfortable with everything you need. The pub it's self is friendly and welcoming. The food in the restaurant is stunning and very reasonably priced. The owners could not do enough for us and the welcome basket was very much appreciated. We will be back next year.

Book this now! you wont regret it!
Super Super property above the best pub in the world! Firstly, the apartment is so spacious, and the hosts left us a collection of welcome gifts, bread, milk, cereal, which was so helpful. Its so comfy and welcoming, two bathrooms which is great for the number of rooms. The best bit is the pub below, my goodness, the food! its the best pub food we have ever eaten, they have the most incredible chef, all the food is home cooked and they have specials on every nice. We ate there each night. The owners are so friendly, made us feel so welcome. Its a real must stay if you are trying to find somewhere in the area. Thank you for making us feel at home and my favourite was the Chilli! Keep doing what you are doing!
