Situated in the grounds of the incredible Poplar Tree Garden Centre in Shincliffe Village Durham, Unbox at Poplar Tree is located only minutes from the heart of Durham City Centre yet boasts spectacular uninterrupted views of rolling countryside with hours’ worth of riverside walks right on the doorstop.

With an Award winning Coffee Shop onsite, which is open 7 days a week serving Breakfast, lunch and even Afternoon Tea, there really is everything you could need from our new Durham Lodge retreat. Ever popular, historic Shincliffe village has two fabulous local pubs, an award-winning curry house just over the bridge and direct access to the heart of the city centre. Bounded by the River Wear, you can either be in Durham city centre within 5 minutes or set off on a 2-hour plus stroll along the protected river banks in the company of otters, kingfishers and barn owls.

Poplar Tree Garden Centre & Coffee Shop is a local, family-owned and family-run venture with a 50 year history on the site and is a cornerstone of the local community. With both Brambles Coffee Shop and a host of seasonal plants on offer throughout the year, Durham’s largest independent Garden Centre is a much loved and visited destination in the North East.
