About

Occupying a glorious private estate on the outskirts of Durham, Hallgarth Manor House, BW Signature Collection radiates with traditional charm and character. While it still retains many of its original 16th-century features, it has been lovingly refurbished to a high standard with plenty of modern touches, and the elegance of the restaurant not to mention top-notch cuisine makes it a standout dining destination. Each of our 24 bedrooms is tastefully decorated, from our cozy doubles to the indulgent Sanctuary Suite. All come with a Nespresso machine, smart TV and free WiFi. You'll also have a spectacular view of either the adjoining countryside or gardens surrounding the hotel. We're less than 5 miles from Durham, one of the most beautiful cities in Great Britain, so there's no shortage of historic sights to see during your stay. Don't miss the magnificent Durham Cathedral and splendid botanic garden at Durham University. A 20-minute drive away is the amazing Beamish living museum. For the safety of our staff and guests this hotel is open only for housing key workers and workers with no alternative abode.
