Our places in Durham

The 25 places range from small lodges for two to large houses for 16 or 20 people. Almost all of them have a hot tub, so it is a poor way to tell them apart. Look instead at bedrooms, pet rules and extras such as a private pool, a lake view or a spa bath. The cheapest night found is far below the usual one, and it is for a simple two-person place without a hot tub. If you want one, expect to pay noticeably more.

Durham suits groups more than couples on a tight budget. Most of the lodges here are built around a hot tub, and the average place sleeps more than seven, so the stays tend to be family gatherings, birthdays and friends' weekends. The biggest sleeps 20, which is large for a single booking in this part of England.

Prices are higher than you might expect for a county break. The usual night is driven up by the big houses, while the smaller two-person lodges sit well below it. A few places are far cheaper than the rest, so the range of budgets is wide. Guest ratings are high, at 9.1 out of 10. About half the places take pets and about half have a log burner, while a sauna is rare, found in under one place in ten.

Features

A hot tub is almost a given, with 24 of the 25 places offering one. A garden comes next, then a log burner at just over half. Pets are accepted at about half the places, usually on request. The dearer averages for log burners, barbecues and play areas mostly reflect the large group houses that carry them. Private pools are rare, at only three places, and these are small lodges for two, so they cost less than the typical night.

By number of guests

Cost per person falls sharply for groups of five or six, where the cost per head is lowest of all the sizes. Couples pay the most per head apart from the larger groups. Lodges for seven to nine cost more per person than those for ten or eleven, so a bigger group can work out cheaper than a mid-sized one. Check how many bedrooms you actually need, since the larger houses have four bedrooms or more and the price rises with each step up.

Prices month by month

November and December are the cheapest months, with prices rising from January. March and April are the dearest of the months covered, a little above mid-winter. The gap is modest, so timing changes the price less than the size of the lodge does. Availability is tighter in November and December, with fewer free dates, while January, February and April have more open nights. For a last-minute break, early in the year gives you the widest choice.
