Michelle Lingner
I really enjoyed my time at The Village at the Viaduct. The accommodation was comfortable, well maintained, and it quickly felt like home during my stay in Durham. The location is great too, it's within easy walking distance of the city centre while still being in a quiet area, making it a lovely place to live. A special thank you to Chloe at reception. She was always so welcoming, kind, and happy to help with anything! Whether it was answering questions or just having a friendly chat, she always made my day a little brighter. It's people like Chloe who make a place feel much more than just an accommodation. Thank you, Chloe!

Common questions
Your property contract is for a fixed length of time – so your room is yours during that period. That means that you don’t have the hassle of moving your belongings out during the Christmas or Easter vacations, and you can choose to stay in your property over these holidays if you want. It’s usually possible to book additional accommodation over the summer period if you want to stay then too. But we advise booking early to ensure rooms are available.
