It’s just a short walk away from the world famous Cathedral and Castle. Through the cobbled streets, explore this unique city’s blend of old and new with shops, bars and restaurants to suit all.

Some bedrooms, but not all, offer views of the River Wear. What makes the Royal County a truly special venue is its facilities to cater for small to large conferences, groups and events. All conference rooms benefit from air conditioning and natural daylight. The Cromwell Suite is a flexible event space seating up to 120 guests theatre style. Meanwhile the Dunelm Room, Neville Room and the Bowes Room, with their city views can be set in a range of styles.
