We enjoyed our 2 night stay at the Royal Oak. Food can be ordered in the evening until 8pm and the menu is extensive and good value. We received a friendly welcome at this family run inn. The full english breakfast was delicious and included in our room price which made it very good value. The bedroom was large with a fairly new ensuite shower and toilet. There are woods across the road where we walked our dog. 15 mins to Durham made it perfect for our needs. I am sure we will return. The parking is on the street outside the front.
We have stayed before and were really pleased that this stay was just as good. We couldn't fault anything, from the well thought out comfy room to the great breakfast and really friendly and helpful owners and staff. The Royal Oak is seriously good value for money. We will be back!

Welcoming efficient staff, comfortable room and bed, excellent, well presented food. Will definitely stay there again.
Staff were all very helpful and friendly. There was a good variety of reasonably priced food on the menu and drinks at the bar. Rooms were clean, the shower and hot water all worked well. Full English breakfast very good.
Handy for visiting Durham, Newcastle, Beamish, Diggerland and Kynren.
Came up to stay on my own as daughter graduating uni. Easy to find and was greeted warmly by staff. Sonia, Ian and Dylan were all so friendly and welcoming.
Food was amazing and lots to chose from in the evening. Breakfast was good and you could pick and chose what you wanted. Locals were friendly and chatty. Would Definitely stay again. The guests that I met were all friendly. Highly recommend, not expensive and good location if you don’t want to stay in Durham and explore surrounding area. Will be back!
