The Spotlight on Hallgarth Manor House

Historic Country Escape Just Outside the City Buzz

Hallgarth Manor House blends classic English charm with modern comforts in a peaceful countryside setting just 3 miles from Durham’s vibrant city centre. Set in beautifully landscaped gardens, this 16th-century former estate has been thoughtfully refurbished, offering a relaxed atmosphere with traditional touches like original wood beams and cozy interiors. With free Wi-Fi throughout the property and easy access to local transport, it’s an ideal base for music lovers heading into Durham for a show.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just a short drive or taxi ride from Durham’s key concert venues, making it easy to enjoy a night out and return to a peaceful retreat. The quiet countryside location means you can wind down after the show, and with a 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out, there’s enough flexibility to rest up before or after your event. Staff can also help you arrange golf at a nearby course if you’re looking to turn your concert trip into a weekend getaway.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking for a unique stay with character
Solo travelers chasing memorable gigs with a quiet place to crash
Couples turning concert night into a countryside mini-break
Fans who prefer to sleep away from the noise of the city
Budget-conscious music lovers who appreciate value and charm

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no 24/7 room service, the on-site restaurant serves a hearty menu and local specialties. It’s a great place for a pre-show dinner or a relaxed breakfast after a late night. There are also charming pubs and eateries within a short drive, offering everything from craft brews to classic pub fare.

Nightlife Options

The hotel itself is more about winding down than partying up, but Durham’s lively pubs and bars are just a quick ride away. Whether you’re heading to a live gig or just grabbing a late drink, you won’t be far from the action—and can return to peace and quiet when you're ready to call it a night.

What People Say

Guests love the beautiful gardens, historic charm, and friendly staff. Many highlight the comfortable rooms and appreciate the blend of old-world atmosphere with modern amenities like free Wi-Fi. The location is consistently praised for being close enough to Durham without the city noise.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the property’s period charm means a few rooms are a little quirky in layout, and the rural location means you’ll likely need a car or taxi to get to venues or late-night spots. But for most, that’s part of the charm.

The Bottom Line

A peaceful, character-filled stay just outside Durham—perfect for concert-goers who want comfort, convenience, and countryside calm after the encore.

Absolutely fine on the whole.

Liked: The cosyness of the place and the nice quiet location.
Disliked: This time we seemed to be put in a smaller room and the big let down was the shower in our room. Far too small anyone of a more plus size simply wouldn’t fit in it.
