The Queens Head  

Minutes from Durham’s historic heart, The Queens Head sits a short walk from Gala Theatre, Durham Indoor Market and Palace Green Library. It’s about 0.8 miles from St. Nicholas Church and within a 15-minute drive of Durham University and Beamish Open Air Museum. This pet-friendly, family-friendly guest house is an easy stroll or a quick bus ride to the city centre.

A community‑orientated pub with eight letting rooms, The Queens Head mixes cosy pub vibes with home comforts. Rooms feature new orthopaedic mattresses, colour TVs and tea-and-coffee facilities, and upgrades are underway. Families are catered for with large rooms, cots and extra single beds at no extra cost.

Stay connected with complimentary Wi‑Fi and take advantage of free on‑site parking with CCTV. Chill in the beer garden or conservatory, sing at karaoke nights, or let kids loose in the playroom and arcade/game room. Pet-friendly policy keeps your four‑legged friends welcome.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout and free self‑parking make short work trips easy. A bus stop outside gives quick links into the city.

The on‑site bar and restaurant pour cask ales and serve home‑cooked traditional British dishes. Enjoy pints in the beer garden or relaxed meals in the conservatory, and opt for a full English breakfast (around £7.95) to start the day.
