We stayed here as a couple for a friend’s wedding in Stanley. Well located accommodation to surrounding areas and 15 minutes from the city centre,

We would have had a lovely stay other than a few areas letting it down.

I found the Mattress to be soft and in need of a change, one side you sank into the bed and caused neck ache in the morning.

Our room in particular seemed dusty, both me and my partner woke up coughing in the morning which may of well been related.

The breakfast in the morning was priced at £12.50 which is the standard cost for a hotel in 2024. Unfortunately what you got was

- single sausage that wasn’t of good quality and small
-two pieces of bacon
-mushrooms
-beans
-fried egg
-baked beans
-fried tomato
-two rounds of toast

But no black pudding or hash brown?

Was expecting at-least one of these items. I understand that times are tough for everyone but should be named a standard breakfast, full seemed a bit optimistic.

On a positive note, the Chicken Katsu curry I had on the evening menu was fab and all the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout the hotel.

I would come back to stay but would want to see some things changed.

Great location for Beamish Museum, which was our destination. We loved the ability to park by your room, and the provision of a patio door, which made access so much easier and convenient. Lovely food, both breakfast and evening meal. Friendly, helpful, excellent staff. Comfortable room. Exquisitely comfortable bed. Definitely will be repeat visitors on a revisit to the area.

Lovely restaurant with a relaxing atmosphere. Amazing food, my personal favourite is the Prawn starter doubled up and served as a main. Service was great with just the right amount of attention. Lovely conservatory with a log burner and a nice outdoor seating area. Definitely recommend 😊
