ABOUT US

Holiday

Situated in the quiet, award winning village of Plawsworth and surrounded by the magnificent Durham countryside Plawsworth Hall cottages provide a comfortable, home from home, rural retreat and a great opportunity to get away from it all. Only 3 miles from the historic city of Durham with its world famous cathedral you’ll find numerous museums and galleries, ancient castles and historic houses. County Durham’s beautiful coast and countryside with its country parks and riverside walks are legendary while Durham’s central location makes the whole north east so accessible.

With its fascinating blend of Christian, social and industrial heritage along with some of England’s most beautiful and unspoilt landscape, County Durham is the perfect place for a relaxing countryside break. It’s also an excellent touring base with Hadrian’s Wall, Lindisfarne and the Northumberland coast, the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District in close proximity.

There’s a food store, a Post Office, newsagents and a busy pub and restaurant serving breakfast – all within walking distance. The Arnison Centre retail park with a large Sainsbury’s hypermarket is just over a mile away. Several excellent take-aways are just 2 miles away plus a number of local top class restaurants. A concierge service is also available if you require any assistance.
