St Chad's College
UK England North East England County Durham Durham
What better way to soak up the gilded Durham student experience than take lodgings for the night in one of the ancient colleges? St Chad's is beautifuly sited on a slender cobbled street close to the cathedral, and the college's old Georgian-fronted townhouses of North Bailey hide a warren of excellent-value student rooms – available every academic holiday to overnight B&B guests. The rooms are a mixed bag of sizes, decor and outlook, and not all have an en-suite bathroom, but breakfast more than makes up for any shortcomings – served in the baronial college dining hall under chandeliers and imposing portraits. For location and atmosphere, this is Durham's best accommodation bargain, no question.
