“Tranquility defines this Durham retreat, a series of chalets set apart for true quiet. The location, while a short drive from the city center, feels like a world away, particularly appealing to those drawn to the nearby Durham Cathedral. I found the property a solid choice for families or anyone seeking more than just a room.”
