Perfect location

Location is perfect, walking in the town within minutes. We managed to park at the back with no problems but there is on street if needed. Bedrooms large and so quiet, Showers excellent and the living area and kitchen large and spacious, could have done with a few dishwasher tabs but that’s just a minor grumble!

8/10 Very good

A very nice and modern apartment with all the facilities and very smooth check in process. Very close to the center and everything accessible in a walking distance. A couple of minor things to be improved to make the stay even better. Slightly more careful with the cleanliness as were some spots needed more attention but not something that is not possible to stay in. The toiletries should be supplied in a daily base or provide sufficient for the stay. We stayed for two nights and the 2nd day we run out of shower gel.

6/10 Good

Location was excellent and parking was good The apartment was clean but it didn’t smell very nice. I think it was the shower drain. Although an apartment for 4 people it only had 3 mugs and one of those was badly chipped and shouldn’t be used. There were only 2 small water glasses .Each bed only had one bedside lamp. Overall it was not comfortable and I expected better

We had a wonderful stay here! Andy the property manager was so helpful in every regard. We stayed for my daughter's graduation and we arrived to Champagne and Truffles, it was above and beyond and we very much appreciated it. A wonderful stay and a wonderful team running 52 Old Elvet!

Brilliant accommodation

Really lovely apartment and ideal for what we needed. Much bigger inside than expected and the location is excellent. We only managed to get one of the free parking spaces on one of our days stay but could park on the street directly outside which was a reasonable cost. Kitchen had everything we needed. We would consider this accommodation again,

Really comfortable flat in the very centre of Durham. Tall celiling, gorgeous big sash windows, nicely furnished. Immaculately clean. Excellent bathroom and very well-equipped kitchen. My only criticism (and it is a small but crucial one) is the duvet. It was horribly lumpy and clumpy. We had a fabulous stay. Thank you.

Durham City break

Beautiful city apartment. Close to Durham centre. Lovely building. Only problem was that the smoke detector and sprinkler both had their installation dust covers still attached making them unsafe. Removed them ourselves and left note to owner. Hopefully the other apartments are now all safely looked after. A small but potentially dangerous oversight. Other than that, loved our stay and enjoyed the beautiful city of Durham.

Accommodation information is misleading, pictures are not reflective. The Wolsey is accessed through a back entrance off a small car park. The only ground floor window is the entrance door which faces the car forecourt, no openings. The Wolsey has no access to the rest of the period building. The room rate is very high given the low standard of bed/mattress, towels and cleanliness. There is a significant drain odor that permeates the entire area. Car parking space is not guaranteed, the general public use the car park. This is likened to student accommodation.

Great place to stay in Durham

This was a great place to stay close to the center of town though very quiet and just a few steps from the river. The staff was great and considered all our needs and responded promptly when we had an issue or a question.

The apartment was very comfortable and spacious and a perfect location for visiting Durham. There was plenty of parking close to the apartment and everything was within walking distance. Check in was easy and the hosts were friendly and well organized. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Durham!

From start to finish our stay was absolutely fantastic, no complaints whatsoever both the property itself and the owners are first class, we look forward to staying again soon. We would thoroughly recommend this gem for anyone visiting the area.

Very convenient modern apartment close to centre.

For 4 nights in County Durham this was a great spot within 2 mins of the centre of Durham itself. Well appointed small pad with everything we needed. Only thing missing was a view but not the end of the world as we were out most of the time. Parking available on first come first served basis at rear of the building, with daily permits available from admin if you needed to park on the road outside the building. No problems at all.

perfect choice for short break to Durham

Our stay at 52 Elvet was great. The communucation with the management company was excellent from the start . Great location for walking around the historic city of Durham and close to a lovely river walk . Driving maybe not so great as the Elvet road was closed for long term maintenance. Meaning a lengthy detour was required.. Parking at these premises was a bit uncertain but the management assisted us greatly with an alternative. Getting the driving issues out the way everything else made up for it . The historic property has been restored to embrace the history and create a modern look at the same time . Well stocked with everything we needed. Clean, comfortable , great location and the knowledge that the management team responded in an instant and very friendly manner. They really care about their guests. Would certainly return and recommend.

Great location for a luxury base in Durham

For a 3 days stay in Durham this apartment is perfect location as it is so close to the centre and provides a nice touch of luxury. There is no parking as part of the apartment but lots of parking in the street. The apartment is clean, modern having been recently refurbed with Dishwasher, washing machine and a full kitchen. There are a few small faults with water damage/damp above one of the windows, this is an old property, but didn't detract from the stay. Bedrooms and bathrooms comfortable, clean and decent size.

This is a lovely apartment within walking distance of Durham. We were staying with teenagers so a bedroom was made up as twin beds which was perfect! And, the kitchen has everything you need if you’re going to eat in.

Great place. Well decorated and ideally positioned. A lift would have been great as easier for luggage. WiFi was spotty but over all I would highly recommend this apartment. Easy communication with owner a big plus.
