Tucked away in the tranquil village of High Shincliffe, just a five-minute drive from Durham city centre, The Avenue offers a relaxed and welcoming stay in one of County Durham’s most charming settings. With six well-appointed en-suite guest rooms located above a traditional British pub, The Avenue blends the comfort of a boutique inn with the warmth of a local favourite.
Each room is thoughtfully furnished for a restful night’s sleep, featuring en-suite bathrooms, complimentary Wi-Fi, and tea and coffee facilities. Free on-site parking makes it an ideal base for leisure travellers, couples, families, and business guests alike.
Guests can enjoy a hearty breakfast each morning before exploring the area. Downstairs, the pub serves a seasonal menu of traditional British dishes, alongside a curated selection of real ales, wines, and spirits. Two outdoor seating areas offer a peaceful spot to unwind on sunny days.
Evenings at The Avenue are lively yet laid-back, with weekly quiz nights, live music, and televised sport creating a friendly, community-driven atmosphere. Whether you're here for a weekend break or a midweek business trip, you’ll find a genuine home-from-home experience.
Located just minutes from the UNESCO-listed Durham Cathedral and Castle, The Avenue is also close to the Durham University Botanic Garden, Beamish Museum, and the scenic River Wear. With excellent transport links via the A1(M) and Durham railway station, it’s a convenient gateway to the North East.
