The Spotlight on Gilesgate Moor Hotel

Relaxed Comfort on the Edge of Durham

Gilesgate Moor Hotel is a charming and budget-friendly bed and breakfast located just outside the center of Durham. With a cozy, traditional vibe and free private parking, it's a great home base for exploring the city or catching a concert nearby. The hotel offers a peaceful atmosphere with a shared lounge area and a hearty breakfast to start your day—or recover from a late night.

Why Concert-goers love it

While not in the heart of the city, the hotel is within reasonable driving distance of popular venues like The Sage and the Stadium of Light. With free parking and easy access to major roads, it's a smart pick if you're traveling by car. The quiet residential setting means you’ll avoid the post-show city noise, and the relaxed check-in from 16:00 gives you time to arrive and unwind before heading out for the night.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking for a budget-conscious base
Solo travelers catching a big-name act
Couples planning a chilled weekend in Durham
Fans wanting to recharge in peace after the encore
Budget-conscious music fans who don’t need frills but appreciate convenience

Food and Drink Options

Start your morning with your choice of a continental, full English/Irish, or vegetarian breakfast—perfect for recovering after a late night. While there’s no on-site restaurant for dinner or late-night snacks, the hotel’s location near Durham means you’re just a short drive or taxi ride from plenty of pubs and eateries. There’s also a cozy shared lounge for a nightcap if you’re winding down.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself is quiet and doesn’t host live music, you’re within reach of Durham’s nightlife scene, including local bars, pubs, and lounges. The Sage and other concert venues aren’t far if you're planning to catch a show and then head back to a quieter space.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the hotel’s friendly staff, clean rooms, and great value for money. The free parking and easy check-in process also get high marks. Many reviewers mention the comfortable, relaxed vibe, making it a great place to rest after a busy night out.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention the decor is a bit dated, and the location isn’t walkable to central Durham venues. However, if you're driving or happy to grab a taxi, it's a manageable trade-off for the peace and price.

The Bottom Line

Gilesgate Moor Hotel is a solid pick for concert-goers seeking a quiet, budget-friendly stay with easy driving access to Durham’s music scene.

Weekend in Durham

Liked: The whole booking experience was spot on. I messaged the hotel to ask for an early check-in (at no extra cost, nice touch)arrived early, and the room was ready to check in. Breakfast in the morning was really good even though I was late for breakfast. Sarah went out of her way to make me a full English, I would definitely stay here again.
