Rooms a little dated, but comfy enough. The staff working the evening of our visit made it excellent, really friendly and warm

Recently attended a function in the function room to see the cabeytu brothers. They were great as usual. The room was spacious and warm. Bar service was quick however the prices of the drinks was really expensive. The toilets weren't very clean one toilet didn't flush and one toilet didn't lock out of three toilets in the function room there was one that was probably serviceable. Even though the room was spacious the tables were very close together and it was hard to get out to the toilet or bar. More...

We attended a Christmas Night last night ,the room was beautiful all lit up . We were informed there had been a problem with the gas ,so the original menu wouldn’t be possible. (this could happen anywhere) Staff did their best to maintain high standards we had soup ,Turkey baps and either cheesecake or Christmas pudding..all credit to the chef as food was superb !! Everyone Was given a complimentary drink which more than compensated for the missing veg ..then we were reimbursed £10 from the original cost ..this gesture was amazing as the quality of food and the band were well worth the money paid !! Well done to all staff who managed a tricky night .will certainly return !! More...

Stayed here for a couple of nights in November. We found it to be a very cosy place to stay. The public areas were all trimmed up for Christmas and it all looked really nice. The room was warm and cosy and the bed was comfortable. The shower was powerful enough and the temperature remained constant. We ate in the restaurant on both evenings and thoroughly enjoyed it. The only thing about our stay which left us disappointed was the noise from the floor above as they got up at 6am, for work presumably. First they dropped something heavy on the floor which woke us both up with a start. Then every footstep was a loud creak from the floorboards, it really was quite unbearable. Then he made a phone call to his other half...how do we know?...because we heard the conversation!! A bit of soundproofing would be a good idea. Aside from that it was a very good stay. More...

Pleasantly surprised. To the folks who complained about creaky floorboards, get a grip. It's an old building and that's just part of its character. Food was fine, beer good and well priced and room was clean and well looked after. Very good bathroom too. Well worth a visit, you will be welcomed by friendly approachable staff. So much so that we are going back. Ideally situated for a trip to Beamish. More...

Excellent rural pub and hotel. The staff were very welcoming and friendly as were the locals in the bar. The evening food was excellent and the manager and bar staff could not have made us more welcome.

Great Sunday Carvery. Food beautifully cooked. Plenty of it. Great value. This place is well worth a visit for the Sunday Carvery. The meals are always very tasty. I had beef and pork today & both tasted every bit as good as they looked. Staff are generous with the portions of roast meat and there’s a wonderful assortment of lovely fresh veg from which to help yourself. My favourite’s the roast parsnips, they’re scrumptious- but all the food is cooked just right and is constantly being replenished. The staff are pleasant, willing & helpful, & nothing’s too much bother. The manager is friendly & chatty & keeps on top of things, making sure all is running smoothly. The Carvery room is large, & airy. The tables are well spaced out so you don’t feel on top of each other & the white table cloths are pristine. I was with my husband today but we’ve been with our youngest Grandson who’s a fussy eater & he thoroughly enjoyed the lunch, especially the roast Ham. More...

Hotel dated but clean and tidy. Standard rooms were a let down, very creaky floorboards, missing tv remotes, We had superior room and could not complain. Comfortable beds fresh and clean and lovely and warm. Plenty to eat for breakfast and evening meal. Could do with another toaster at breakfast time, always a queue for toast and coffee could do with being hotter. Early closing bar no exceptions for residents. More...

We booked last minute for a night away from the kids. Not expecting much at £29!!! Including breakfast.. The decor is lovely and fresh. The hotel was clean and room spotless. Ensuite in room 20 looked brand new, nice shower. The bed was comfy, but pillows not great. Tea and coffee facilities. Hairdryer was amazing and put my Dyson to shame. Big fluffy towels. You can check in from 12. There is qood quality free WiFi.||||The menu is varied and reasonably priced. The food is value for money and tasty. The bar had a nice atmosphere with families dining. All the staff were friendly and service was very good throughout our stay. ||||If I had paid full price I'd of moaned about no sausages left at breakfast but the breakfast was lovely anyway. Made to order. The coffee was fresh.||||Lovely place for a chilled out night. We would stay again and have reccomended it to our friends. More...

We had our son’s christening here on Sunday and we were so impressed with it all. We came 4 years ago when it was our daughter’s christening which was why we decided to come back but it has improved so much since then. The room was dressed beautifully for the day and so many guests commented on nicely decorated it was. The food was great and I know our guests really appreciated the carvery with comments on the lovely tender meat etc. The staff have been great throughout also. Very accommodating and friendly and great service. Thank you all so much. We will definitely be recommending you. Nicola and Mark More...
