Holiday Cottages in Durham – Relax at Plawsworth Hall

June 27, 2023

Tucked between the historic charm of Durham and the rolling countryside of County Durham, Plawsworth Hall offers self-catering holiday cottages designed for comfort, flexibility, and peace of mind. Whether you’re staying for a weekend getaway or a long-term relocation, our cottages offer a quiet retreat with easy access to the city, the coast, and everything in between.

A Peaceful Base Close to Everything

Our cottages are located in Plawsworth village, just five miles from Durham City Centre and a short drive from Chester-le-Street. This makes us perfectly placed for guests who want the best of both worlds — scenic surroundings and convenient travel routes. You can drive to Durham in under 10 minutes, access the A1(M) in minutes, or catch a direct train to Newcastle or York from Chester-le-Street Station.

Nearby highlights include:

  • Beamish Museum – a renowned open-air museum just 15 minutes away
  • Durham Cathedral – a UNESCO World Heritage Site at the heart of the city
  • Riverside Park and Emirates Riverside Cricket Ground – ideal for family-friendly days out

Our location also makes us a popular choice for guests visiting Durham University, nearby business parks, or family living in the area.

Thoughtfully Equipped for a Comfortable Stay

Every cottage at Plawsworth Hall is fully self-contained, offering private entrances, separate living areas, and fully equipped kitchens. This means you can cook, relax, and unwind on your own schedule — with no shared spaces or hotel restrictions.

Each cottage includes:

  • A spacious living area with TV and Wi-Fi
  • A modern kitchen with oven, fridge-freezer, and essential cookware
  • Comfortable bedrooms with fresh linens and weekly housekeeping
