Lovely hotel/pub, very friendly staff and food was delicious. The boutique bedrooms were a bit dated with the black painted headboard and footboard which i constantly banged my knee on when walking around the bed as it stuck out so much and the mattress was a little soft for my liking, felt like I was rolling into the middle.
Friendly comfottable old pub .Large rooms.Good breakfast.Parking and bus stop across the road.Frequent buses to newcastle chester le street and durham.
All en-suite rims are different. Heavy wooden bed, headboard and furniture. Small en-suite but fully functional and lovely shower.
Will definitely stay again.
Stayed on a Saturday evening. After travelling and a long day I was looking forward to a rest. The room was clean but no remote for the tv and the toilet seat was broken. I spoke to the staff and nothing materialised to sort either. Also there was entertainment which I wasnât aware of so it was very noisy, especially as I was directly above them. I wouldnât have stayed if I had been informed of this. Luckily it did finish at 10.00p.m. On the good side the evening meal I purchased and the breakfast which was included were very nice.
Very nice place (havenât stayed here for a while) food choice in the pub I great for the evening, staff are always helpful and friendly and the pub has a good atmosphere
Breakfast is excellent!
2 night stay with friends to see Bruce at Stadium of Light and a day at Beamish.
Great location with easy access and a quirky pub with good food and range of beers.
