概述

达勒姆城堡位于市中心,是达勒姆联合国教科文组织世界遗产的一部分。这座一级保护建筑与达勒姆标志性的诺曼大教堂共享宫殿绿地,距离达勒姆城的所有便利设施仅数百码。

由于建筑历史悠久,客房不设轮椅通道。部分位于城堡主楼的客房需爬100多级台阶才能到达,位于欧文盖特(城堡墙外)的客房则需爬65级台阶。底层客房数量有限,且不设电梯。

这座历史悠久的城堡是杜伦大学第一所也是最古老的学院,在大学学期期间用作学生宿舍,但在大学假期期间(一月、复活节以及整个七月、八月和九月)可作为客人住宿。

入住达勒姆城堡是一次无与伦比的体验。虽然与酒店不同,这里没有一些现代化的便利设施,例如房间里的电视或建筑物内的电梯,但它仍然是世界遗产的一部分。所有客房均视预订时的客房供应情况而定。套房配有淋浴,但没有浴缸。

请注意,诺曼画廊目前正在进行修复工程。庭院和内部区域可能仍设有脚手架,但在这座一级保护城堡的重要修复工程完成期间,所有区域均可进入。

由于正在进行修复工程,有时早餐将在地下室而不是大厅供应。

访问声明

城堡是一座历史悠久的建筑,楼梯和通道都比较难走,而且只能进入上层。城堡内遍布着许多大型台阶,部分地面和通道铺设了鹅卵石。许多建筑都设有低矮的门道,上下都有台阶。

城堡位于达勒姆市半岛。以下陈述是对宾客和游客无障碍设施的现实评估。公平地说,由于建筑年代久远和原始设计,城堡为行动不便的游客提供的设施非常有限。然而,城堡致力于改善无障碍设施,以方便残障游客。

路面由石板和砖块混合铺设,并设有标准路缘石。路面相对平坦,但滑倒和绊倒的危险较为常见。

城堡内不设停车场。夜间,城堡正面和道路照明充足。您可以访问以下网站了解市区停车信息:https://www.durham.gov.uk/article/3486/Durham-City-car-parks - 最近的停车场是 Prince Bishop 多层停车场。

由于各石阶布局独特,城堡内外均设有多个楼梯。石阶的踏板磨损严重,表面凹凸不平。木质楼梯狭窄,略显笨重,需小心谨慎!城堡内没有电梯。

公共及员工卫生间不便,且没有为行动不便人士提供额外的扶手或配件。

所有卧室均位于一楼以上楼层。所有卧室均可通过楼梯进入。楼梯为复古式,与建筑风格相得益彰。部分楼梯略呈弧形,且踏板略有不同。酒店设有扶手,但视障人士或其他行动不便人士需格外注意安全。

大楼后方有一个大花园。可从庭院经由砖砌台阶进入。遗憾的是,行动不便人士无法方便进入。


历史

The present Castle began in 1072 as a simple defensive mound commissioned by William the Conqueror to defend the peninsula formed by the meander in the River Wear. Over the centuries, the Castle has been a residence of the Bishops of Durham who added to the buildings and altered them to suit the needs of the time.

The University of Durham was founded in 1832 by Bishop Van Mildert and the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral. After Van Mildert's death in 1836, the Castle was handed over to the University and became University College in 1837, the oldest of the Durham Colleges. Early generations of students lived either in University House, now Cosin's Hall, or in the Castle Keep which was reconstructed in 1840.

The College is an academic community within Durham University of around 600 undergraduates and 50 postgraduates, and members of University staff attached to the College through the Senior Common Room. All members, both academic staff and students, share a common aim: the pursuit of knowledge. There are many other aspects of College life: cultural, sporting and social, but the main purpose of the College is academic.

食品与饮料

The rates include breakfast served between Monday to Friday 0800 to 1000 / Saturday and Sunday 0800 to 1000, usually served in the medieval Great Hall.  The Castle does not offer any food above breakfast but there are plenty of places nearby with these facilities.

The College Undercroft Bar is open when events are taking place, although there may be event guests in the Bar the area is not private to events and B&B guests are welcome to enter. Check at the Reception for opening times.  There are numerous bars and restaurants within a few minutes' walk from the Castle.

庭院和花园

The Castle, part of Durham's World Heritage Castle, is located on Palace Green across from the City's iconic Norman Cathedral. Either relax walking around the historic city or take a stroll along the nearby banks of the River Wear.

Due to the nature of Durham Castle, it is used as a venue for a variety of events and functions. As such, there may be some noise and minor disruption during your stay.

Durham Cathedral is located next to Durham Castle and, as a result, guests should be aware the Cathedral bells ring prior to services on a Sunday and between 1830 and 2030 each Thursday evening.

其他设施

Rooms include tea and coffee making facilities. 

Wifi is available in all bedrooms and to connect guests must use ‘thecloud@durham’.

Guide and assistance dogs are welcome to stay, maximum one dog per room. However, the venue holds a policy that no other dogs can stay overnight.

Had a wonderful stay in Durham and what an experience staying in the castle. Would definitely recommend. We had a very spacious room with en-suite bathroom. The accommodation had so much character and it was lovely to explore without any crowds. So close to everything Durham had to offer. The breakfast was an unlimited cooked English breakfast - continental was also available. Fantastic value for money.

Most amazing student halls I have ever stayed in! Obviously not for everyone: it is student accommodation – more like a hostel than a hotel. And there were about a million stairs up to my room, as it was at the top of a tower (and they didn't have lifts in medieval castles!). But if you are ok with that (which I was) – you get bed and (a very good) breakfast in a castle, next to the cathedral.

Lovely setting especially for the breakfast. Room was basic but complete with a modern bathroom. Beds were bit softer than we would have preferred but okay for one night. Great view and atmosphere. Make sure you are in good shape though as there are LOTS of steps to get to the room - which is expected since its in the castle!

We love DC staying at the castle ahead of the Great North run. Made the weekend all the more enjoyable. The rooms are basic but perfectly fine and the experience, and the breakfast was wonderful! Would defo stay again

I was a student at Durham and have stayed at the castle before. It is amazing and old ! It is in need of ongoing tlc and restoration like all old buildings but it was a great experience to stay there again.

Very pleasant, historical and evocative surroundings. An enjoyable welcome from the porter and, in the morning, a very full breakfast well served.

MartinH

Buffet breakfast had big choice of food. Staff were really helpful. Location is superb. Room large and comfortable.

Really enjoyed the experience of staying in a castle. Fitness levels were tested when climbing all the stairs!
