Sleeping at the Durham Ox

This rural bolthole offers the perfect escape to the country with 8 bedrooms and a self-catering cottage.  We offer 5* accommodation and award-winning breakfasts.

There are five beautiful bedrooms in converted stone buildings that provide a peaceful and charming place to stay, and the converted Studio Suite located above the pub. Most recently we have opened our brand-new Pool Villa and Pool Cabin with spa pools for either two or four guests.  We offer self-catering in Ivy Cottage, a 3-bedroom cottage within walking distance in the village. We pride ourselves on offering friendly and efficient service, showcasing the best of local produce in our menu, and stocking an extensive wine list.

All accommodation opens onto an outside terrace.  Each room is individually designed and has a television, tea and coffee tray, hair dryer and individually controlled heating. Dyson fans provide additional heat or cool air depending on the weather. Luxury bath products are provided in all of the rooms.

All our bedding is hypo-allergenic.

In some of our rooms we are able to add a folding bed appropriate for children (Green, Lavender, The Studio, Rose and The Pool Villa, The Pool Cabin).

All our accommodation is dog friendly apart from our Studio Suite and the Pool Villa. Please note for all bookings we charge a supplement of £15 per room, per stay for all guests bringing a dog with them.

On Saturday nights, please note, we only offer Dinner, Bed and Breakfast
