Durham - 3

Here we see Collingwood College - the setting for the Annual Conference of The Hymn Society.



Whether you are planning a week stay or a short break Collingwood is the ideal base for your group visit to the North East. The accommodation offered by Collingwood is of a high quality with a three diamond English Tourism Council rating. The accommodation is value for money, with rooms available to suit all budgets. Collingwood is located one mile from the centre of Durham. All rooms are situated within the college and offer a peaceful setting.

There is a variety of accommodation, with over 200 en-suite rooms available, each with a private shower, toilet and hand basin, built-in wardrobe and tea/coffee making facilities and radio alarm clocks. Sixteen of these en-suite rooms are twin occupancy and a further nine are adapted for wheelchair users. All rooms have bed linen (duvets) and towels provided in all rooms throughout your stay, and the rooms are serviced daily.

Accommodation is available during university vacations, which are around Easter and throughout July, August and September.

Our conference sessions were held in the Penthouse Suite with breakfast, lunch, and dinner served in the spacious dining room. The choice of food was excellent and after Night Prayer it was possible for sneak down to the pleasant bar for a drink (or two!) before retiring to bed.
