An Autumn Interlude at Our Boutique Hotel in Durham
As the nights draw in and the trees turn to shades of gold, autumn is the perfect time to slow down and take a breather. Just twelve minutes from Durham city centre, 61 Durham offers a countryside escape that feels a world away. For those seeking Durham places to stay that blend comfort with character, our boutique hotel offers the best of both worlds: close enough to the city’s vibrant heart, yet tucked away in the peace of the countryside.
The Autumn Midweek Reset
From 1st October to 20th November 2025, 61 Durham invites you to make the most of the season with our Autumn Midweek Reset. This special offer is designed to give you time back for yourself, a pause button on the busyness of daily life.
Enjoy early check-in from 2:00 PM and late check-out until 12 noon (a £50 value, included on us), so you can relax without feeling rushed. Arrive early, settle in with a glass of wine, and enjoy a stroll in the crisp autumn air before dinner. The next morning, there’s no need to hurry; linger over breakfast, take your time packing, or indulge in one last walk through the golden leaves.
It’s the little details that make the difference, and our team at 61 Durham is here to ensure your stay feels effortless from start to finish.
