Bunnybees Railway Cottage with Private Parking
I welcome people who are visiting friends, or working. You will have exclusive use of a beautiful period cottage, which is bright and modern. You will also have a free private parking space next to the cottage, useful as most of Durham is permit holder parking. Fantastic location to experience Durham - under 10 minutes walk to Durham train station and Durham bus station/City centre, which then leads to the cultural and commercial zones, multiple bars and restaurants. Quiet street with speedbumps
