I travel a lot on business and am fortunate enough to have a manager who insists on "four star and above" hotels and restaurants. However, when I'm on my own I tend to look for a country inn with good food and real ales. Some have been great, some not so great but the South Causey Inn is the king... More

We stayed here for two nights and loved it. The setting was lovely, the staff very friendly and welcoming and the room great - comfy clean and tidy. Lovely cozy atmosphere in the restaurant with coal fires roaring at night. Food - too much!! Lovely grub but oh the platefuls! It was lovely to see the hens running around and... More

This hotel/restaurant has a lovely backdrop and produces some beautiful wedding photo's. However, the food is pretty average. I was here for a wedding and although I got totally baked from the sun coming through the glass roof section of the function room, I wasn't as over done as the dry chicken they served for the wedding meal. The dessert... More

The rooms were great value as a wedding guest you receive a 10% discount and it was a fabulous alternative to a long taxi journey home. Breakfast was delicious and I wouldn't hesitate to stay again In the future

We had a superior room which was huge with a very large and comfortable bed. The bathroom with super shower and large jacuzzi was very good. Everything was very clean and the "welcome" items were appreciated.

Had one night here and wished we had booked in for longer. We found the hotel while looking for somewhere near to Beamish Museum and what a gem we found. Great welcome by very friendly staff both on arrival, during our stay and on departure. Nice little touches in our room with a personal hand written welcome with juice and... More

The staff actually opened up a .room just for us as there was no where else to sit, thats how busy it was.The room was cozy with... More

Went for a bIrthday celebration meal with family on a saturday evening. One of the first there. Meal ordered soon after arrival, but waited well over an hour for main course (even though we ordered well before guests at other tables!) In fact we seemed to be the last table to be served - with young children attending - not... More

I stayed here for business purposes a couple of times and I have to say it was a very pleasant experience. The rooms are comfortable, modern, spacious and well stocked but have still managed to keep ahold of the historic feel. The restaurant is superb with a wide and delicious selection to suit anyone's tastes. Breakfast is average but if... More
