When travelling to Durham for work – whether it’s an extended contract, corporate project, or frequent meetings – you deserve more than a standard hotel room. Plawsworth Hall offers spacious, self-contained apartments that combine professional practicality with home-like comforts, making it a standout option for business travellers.
Why Business Guests Prefer Apartments Over Hotels
- Space to Work, Relax & Entertain
Plawsworth’s one-, two-, and three?bedroom apartments include separate living areas, fully equipped kitchens, and dining spaces. Having room to work, cook, or host a colleague adds a sense of calm and control, which is rarely possible in standard hotel layouts. - Cost-Effective for Long-Term Stays
With generous weekly or monthly rates, these apartments often offer better value than hotels – especially when it comes to meals (no room service charges) and inclusive services like Wi?Fi and parking . - A True “Home Away from Home”
Guests routinely praise the apartments as “spacious, clean, and very well equipped” with everything from laundry facilities to stocked kitchens.
Built for Business Convenience
Plawsworth Hall is designed with the working traveller in mind:
- High-speed Wi?Fi is available throughout every unit.
- Ample free parking makes commuting straightforward and stress-free.
- On-site office/reception allow you to focus on work instead of logistics.
- Kitchen and laundry facilities give you autonomy over your day, without obscure mini-bar charges or laundry fees .
