Wine

We know that good wine is a pleasure that many of us enjoy and we want to share that experience with you during your stay with us.

Avid fans of the grape have a real treat in store when they visit Grafton House. Our cellar has been stocked to accommodate a wide range of tastes with labels from around the world.

Wellies

Grafton House is the ideal base from which to explore Durham and the rest of North East England.

Whether you are a regular to the area or visiting for the very first time, there is something for everyone to see and do.

With its mighty cathedral, historic city, centuries old university, ancient Durham City is without a doubt one of the most beautiful and architecturally significant cities in the world.

Why not borrow a pair of our wellies and get exploring the shady wooded riverbanks that offer a retreat and a haven of peace with delightful walks and boat trips on the River Wear.

Wickets

The North East is known for its sporting passion and cricket is no exception.

Home to international fixtures, fans can enjoy cricket at the beautiful Riverside ground, where Durham County Cricket Club host first class games and international test matches against the backdrop of the impressive Lumley Castle.

Why not order a Grafton House picnic basket to while away the hours in the sunshine?
