Of course the accomodation is basic, with shared utilities, but it was in a great location and was extremely good value for money, as an excellent breakfast was included in the price. Beats staying at a Travelodge - I would definitely book the university accomodation again.

We had a great one night stopover at Hatfield College, Durham. From the first contact with the porter to the lovely, welcoming dining team everyone was so friendly and helpful. We will stay again without a doubt. Beautiful location and grand people. Wendy

Hatfield College is a 5-minute taxi ride (about £5) from Durham Station. All the taxi drivers know the college, so you won't need to give them directions.
