The Farmers Arms

We chose this hotel for a stopover on way from Leeds to Beamish on a Sunday evening . On the day of departure we found out there was no restaurant or bar open on a Sunday evening ,! Not a good start so instead opted to get there in time for the Sunday carvery served while about 4.30 pm . The food was well cooked and a very good choice except it was cold !! When the waiter asked if all was ok we told him and he said “ oh , it was cold ? I’ll tell the chef “ That was the last we saw of him ! We paid our food bill and were then shown to our very clean room . However the pillows were like squashed flumps , there were no glasses, no chair just basically a bed , and 4 white walls ! We were then told that there would be no breakfast service but we could walk down the road to a little cafe down the road ! There was no other hostelries in the vicinity so we had no choice but to sit and watch the Ladies Cup Final sat up in bed ! The result made us feel better . We then turned in and the following morning we let ourselves out by a scruffy , dirty back door and went on our way !! Make if it as you will but a very weird experience , good job we have a good sense of humour !

Large room, comfy beds, clean and a good shower. Plenty of towels and toiletries.No breakfast but wasn't expecting one, could have done with a fan in the room as it was a very hot day. I will take my own next time. Only paid £50 for the night for 2 People so can't complain but noticed some have complained.

Great hospitality, friendly staff team and super food ( great options for GF) too. Well looked after and sort really well. Thoroughly recommend .

Lovely place, twin room was spacious and en-suite shower room very nice. My only issue was as the room was lovely and warm, I needed to open the window which allowed the noise from the busy road outside to disturb me, this is my issue as being too warm bothers me, no fault at all of the establishment, the doubling glazing prevented all noise, just a warning to others if room on the front. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay otherwise and would happily recommend to others

enjoyable stay the pub is very popular & friendly serving a good a varied menu, we had both lunch & dinner there, the staff are very friendly & helpful . our room was pleasingly decorated clean & comfortable with plenty of storage. only draw back was the shower could do with having a equalizing pressure valve & the macerator was noisy during the night. & please note there is no breakfast served .

Great pub food in a truly convivial atmosphere, the gentle hum of conversation, the kind attention of the blonde waitress, a visit to our table by the chef, all combined to make a lovely evening out. We are vegetarian and the choices were impressive, looking forward to our next visit.
