Friendly hotel with lovely food

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.

Noisy!

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 wasn’t aware of so it was very noisy, especially as I was directly above them. I wouldn’t 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.

Good base to explore North East

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.
Painting in our room - great!

Warm and friendly with great food and service.

I was on business and don't really like the clinical nature of premier inn ect. I have stayed here before and love the traditional atmosphere and as it is a kind of gastro pub, the food, including the breakfast is really nice.
