Into the tropical rainforest house, see and feel what it is like to be in such environs, you can even make it rain! It contains a unique collection of plants and just beyond see some of its indigenous inhabitants, bugs, scorpions and tarantulas! There is even a rare breed of Manx Loghtan sheep that can be seen enjoying the parkland in spring. One visit isn't enough, the views change throughout the year with vibrant poppy and cornflower displays in the summer to rich warm colours in the autumn, all this in 18 acres of parkland, just minutes from Durham city centre.

Spring Visit to Durham

Had a comfortable stay here in April, large room and good food. We were in easy driving distance from the park-and-ride facility, which was free to oldies with bus-passes and saved the hassle of taking a car into Durham. I would recommend it to others.
