Farnley Tower is situated in an elevated position, providing views over Durham Castle, Cathedral and surrounding countryside. The guest house is a prominent Victorian mansion, renowned for its architecture and gardens, with an on-site restaurant and bar, free Wi-Fi and car parking.

Farnley Tower Guesthouse is less than a 10 minutes’ walk from historic sites and river walks. There are many cafe, boutiques, galleries and museums nearby.

The hotel Manager Anna is very helpful. From the safety pin I needed for my dress for our daughter's graduation to giving us extra information on important events in Durham, she was very helpful and welcoming. Jade from Housekeeping Management is also very helpful and friendly. My boyfriend and I are quite busy and it takes time for us to unwind but the staff and the beautiful rooms and venue really made us relax. The Holi Bang restaurant was outstanding. I don't appreciate Indian food and from now on I will! Have a drink for happy hour downstairs and definitely enjoy the food at the restaurant. Farnley Tower is also very good with allergies. I eat gluten and dairy free and was very satisfied with their choices. Stay at Farnley Tower if you're going to Durham. I've stayed in other places and this is the best experience you'll have. Thank you Anna and Jade. Looking forward to seeing you again!

    Spacious, well-maintained and decorated, clean, warm, and quiet. Large comfy king-size bed (didn’t try the double in the 2nd bedroom but it looked just as good), well-equipped kitchen, lovely clean bathroom and cosy living space with a smart TV and great wifi. Great location 5 mins from the City and with private off-road parking. What more could you ask for? Would highly recommend and will definitely try and book again.
