- A quiet, homely atmosphere away from distractions
- A cosy living space with a dedicated desk and ergonomic chair
- Free high-speed Wi-Fi to stay connected when you need to
- A tea and coffee station for those late-night writing sessions

Durham itself adds another layer of inspiration: cobbled streets, the magnificent cathedral, riverside walks, and a rich literary and cultural scene, including the renowned Durham Book Festival.
