Friendly staff and very good breakfast included. Convenient location for lots of things nearby but location of hotel is by itself in the countryside so not within walking distance of anything. I would recommend as it was good value for money

Excellent countryside pub
This is an isolated pub on a busy road, with great views of the countryside. The bedrooms have been recently modernised and decorated. Bedroom was large enough and rthe bed comfortable if a little firm. Large en suite with walk-in shower was well decorated, though the rainfall shower could do with more water pressure. The staff were very friendly and the evening meal was excellent with very large portions. Buffet breakfast was OK, the sourdough toast being the highlight. Would definitely stay here again.

Staff were fantastic throughout our stay and food was really good too, especially the breakfast! The room was clean and spacious but had a very creaky floor which although a little annoying you would expect from an older building. Great place to visit Durham and other areas of the North East. Overall we had a great 3 night stay and it was good value for the cost. We would definitely recommend it and stay again.
