About this property

Kingsgate Bridge View

Please view our recent photographs. Kingsgate apartment hallway leads to the main bathroom, bedrooms and living space. Featuring a sociable, open plan living area with a generously equipped kitchen and an extending dining table, the interior is elegantly furnished and comfortable. The French doors open from the lounge to the outside decked terrace where you can enjoy the river views or feed the passing ducks. Laura Ashley soft furnishings and original artwork by The Rocks Brothers are presented throughout the apartment.

There are 2 bedrooms, a master with king sized bed and comfy memory foam mattress coupled with an en suite and a twin room with 2 single beds, also with memory foam mattresses. The beds are prepared with crisp white 800TC Egyptian Cotton linen, with seasonal goose feather duvets. Wrap yourself in a plush bathrobe and make the most of the floor to ceiling windows in the master bedroom, perfectly placed to enjoy the river views with a morning coffee from your bed. You'll find fluffy white towels in the bath-rooms with complimentary toiletries and hand lotion throughout.

Our Elvet duplex apartment is located in the same building with similar vistas from all rooms which are located on two levels.
Kingsgate and Elvet are two luxury self-catering apartments in the heart of Durham City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The luxury apartments offer an unrivalled location on the banks of the River Wear with just a few minutes walking distance to the Cathedral, Castle, University, shops and restaurants.
Overlooking the river, they provide a spacious alternative to a hotel or guest house whilst offering all the luxury and amenities of a hotel suite for the perfect self-catering break. The properties are ideal for families or guests visiting the University, a romantic break for two or travellers wishing to enjoy the sights of Durham City. Enjoy a complimentary glass of wine or relax with a Nespresso coffee or pot of tea while you sit outside on the decked terrace and unwind, watching the rowing boats.

Both apartments have free secure parking, unlimited WiFi and children under 2 years are free.

Kingsgate is a luxury 2-bedroom, ground floor apartment located at St Andrew's Court, overlooking the river and Kingsgate Bridge, an iconic concrete foot-bridge, personally designed in 1963 by Sir Ove Arup, the design engineer of The Sydney Opera House.

There are 2 bedrooms, a master with king sized bed and comfy memory foam mattress coupled with an en suite and a twin room with 2 single beds, also with memory foam mattresses.

Elvet is a luxury 2-bedroom duplex apartment with views of the river and Elvet bridge, a Grade I listed building and a mediaeval masonry arch bridge built in the late 12th century. The master bedroom has a king sized bed and en suite bathroom with a further generous double bedroom with a double bed.

The beds are prepared with crisp white 800TC Egyptian Cotton linen, with seasonal goose feather duvets.

Zentral aber ruhig
Das Apartment ist sehr zentral und trotzdem erstaunlich ruhig gelegen, da es von der Straße abgewandt und in zweiter Reihe liegt. Die Terrasse grenzt unmittelbar an den Fluss Wear, auf dem Enten, Eisvögel, Ruderer usw. vorbeiziehen. Gleichzeitig ist man zu Fuß in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß in der City und an der Kathedrale. Als Ausgangspunkt für touristische und kulturelle Aktivitäten in Durham ist es kaum zu toppen.

Excellent apartment in great location
Everything in the apartment was of a high standard and worked well. The outside terrace overlooking the river was most welcome in the hot weather we experienced. Access from the underground car parking to the apartment was easy via a lift. The personal welcome from Chris was very warm and helpful, and being provided with bread, butter, milk and a bottle of wine after a long car journey was very comforting. We would certainly consider a return to the apartment if we make another visit to Durham.

About the host

Hosted by Host

Host profile image
The first apartment was originally purchased for our son who was studying law at Durham University and was offered as holiday accommodation during the summer break to the academic year. We soon realised the demand for such a centrally located venue for other visiting parents and so the second apartment came to fruition.

We now take pleasure in ensuring that our guest receive a 5-star welcome and aim to make their stay with us as relaxing as possible.

***Please note that the apartments are located in the city centre and adjacent to several bars. As a university city students will celebrate various achievements throughout the year loudly.***
