Living Area Very impressive

Recline in style

There's plenty of room to relax in the exceptional quality furnishings in this cosy apartment: you can sink into the red leather two-seater, plant yourself in the capacious black leather armchair, or put your feet up on the spacious red leather corner couch.

There is a wall-hung widescreen digital TV on which you can explore 50+ channels of television and radio, or watch movies on DVD. If you're more inclined to shut your eyes, you'll get the best from the state-of-the-art sound system on which you can also play CDs.

...With a view of the Cathedral

- just - if you put your head out of the window!
Oasis Apartment is set back from New Elvet, which was originally the main street in Durham. Elvet derives from the Saxon Aelfet-Ee , which translates as Swan Island. The adjacent buildings date from the 17th century, and the Apartment is within what was a trio of private mansions until the early 19th century, one of which belonged to the grandfather of Anthony Eden, past Prime Minister of Great Britain. After that time the mansions were converted to a coaching inn, with a wheelwright's shop and yard at the rear.

Elegant dining

When night falls, you can set the mood with the lighting and have a candlelit dinner at the elegant glass dining table.
(We even supply the flowers...)
