The Kingslodge Inn

About The Kingslodge Inn

The Kingslodge Inn sits in the peaceful woodland setting of Flass Vale on Waddington Street, close to the railway station and only a ten-minute walk from the cathedral and castle. Part of the Inn Collection Group, it combines a proper pub and dining room with accommodation, serving breakfasts, light bites, lunches and evening meals with daily specials showcasing local Durham produce. Its standout feature for warmer months is a well-kept beer garden with comfortable seating, one of the more relaxing outdoor drinking and dining spots in the city.

The leafy, slightly tucked-away location gives it a calmer feel than the busier centre while still being within easy walking distance of everything, which also makes it a handy base for visitors staying over. It works equally well for a garden pint, a sit-down meal or an overnight stay. Booking is recommended for meals and rooms, particularly at weekends and in peak season.
