Why Choose a Short-Term Rental Over a Hotel?
More Space, More Comfort
Unlike standard hotel rooms, short-term rentals—like the apartments at Plawsworth — offer guests the luxury of space. Enjoy separate living areas, fully equipped kitchens, and private bedrooms that feel more like home than a hotel ever could. Ideal for families, professionals, or anyone planning an extended visit, it’s the kind of accommodation that adapts to your needs.
Cost-Effective for Longer Stays
Hotels can quickly become expensive, especially for stays beyond a few nights. Plawsworth’s short-term apartments provide excellent value, with weekly or monthly rates that are far more budget-friendly for business travellers or those in need of temporary housing in Durham. Plus, with access to your own kitchen, you can cut down on dining costs — another win for your wallet.
A Local Experience
Plawsworth’s apartments are nestled in a picturesque village just minutes from Durham city centre. You’ll wake up to peaceful surroundings, enjoy walks in the countryside, and still be close enough to commute or explore the city with ease. It’s the best of both worlds—local charm with urban convenience.
