Stayed here last night on a coach trip to Durham,rooms modern and clean,small bathroom but sufficient, no fridge in room,there was a hairdryer,nice shampoo,bodywash,tea/coffee facilities. Evening meal, if you are on a trip you have to sit as a party,and the like you to share tables with other guests,but we sat on our own and insisted we stayed there,but you could tell staff weren't happy with some staring looks from the manager,the meal was OK,you get a sheet of paper with 3 choices for srarter main and pudding,we chose chicken dinner,not big meals but quite nice and hot,a bottle of wine was £14,with a discount you get with your room card,now breakfast is fantastic full English which you helped your self,warm also.cereal yougurt fruit, porridge,toast station very plenty full,would stay again, just off putting about seating arrangements,as you feel you are treat differently to other guests,and I feel its the coach party's that bring the money in.

Hotel is great for a value no frills overnight stay. Staff are friendly and helpful. Pleasant bar area with food available. Was unseasonably warm overnight when we stayed therefore room was extremely warm, no air conditioning. Clean and comfortable rooms with what you need for a quick stay.

The drive up to the castle was was fantastic as the view of the castle looked stunning. The entrance to the court yard for parking was quaint and inviting. The look of the court yard looking at all the out buildings looked inviting and very well presented. The “stocks” make for great entertainment The entrance to the reception is like looking for the secret door but the plaque at the side with history information explains why and is interesting to read. Inside the reception is is quite dark but this for me added to the ambience of the place. The staff where welcoming, polite and explained the hotel set up. We stayed in one of the room in the courtyard which was beautiful. Very nicely decorated and good value for money. The room was cozy. We’d booked to have a meal in the Knights Restaurant and we had pre drinks in the bar first The walk to the restaurant through the corridor into the central courtyard was very different yet beautiful. It’s so old and it was nice to see it was decorated and kept within “keeping” The bar again was inviting and cosy and it was great to see that the drinks and wine list was very reasonably priced. So often places know you are a target audience and inflate the prices ridiculously however in our opinion the castle had not done this. There was a good choice of cocktails and the “smoked” cocktails added that something a little bit different and we didn’t mind paying a few pounds more for the “quirkiness”. Again the staff where very professional, friendly and well presented. The walk from the bar/lounge area to the Knights Restaurant was stunning through the corridors of the castle and past a lovely looking staircase and when we walked into the restaurant I was overwhelmed as it was stunning and not what I was expecting. The arched ceiling, the lighting, the privacy of how the tables where set out we felt was very nice. We thought it all created a romantic setting. It was very secluded but included. The menu choice was good and the food was beautiful. The service was great too and again the staff were very professional, polite and very well presented. The prices on the menu varied so I would say they’d catered fo most people’s budget and it was your own choice on how much you spend Our nights sleep was comfortable and the walk back from the restaurant to the courtyard was well lit but again in keeping with been in a castle environment. Great use of mood lighting. My husband even went into the stocks on the was home (🤣) Breakfast the next morning again did not disappoint. The selection was fantastic and plenty of food to choice from Overall we can can not fault our experience. It was a lively venue with great facilities and very well presented. The staff where Courteous, polite, friendly and very well presented. I would recommend this as a place to go and stay. We must go back so we can stay in one of the castle rooms as I am sure they would be as good and maybe even more “quirkier” than the courtyard rooms which were very nice.

We arrived at 13:20 for lunch, the restaurant/pub was not too busy but the appearance of the bar/restaurant is very nice I really like the stripped back to brick the new owners have gone for. I had used this pub many years ago and thought I would give it a try. The menu is not overly complicated which I found great , I opted for the squid starter, unfortunately this was no longer available, so went for the belly pork, I am glad the squid was not on as the belly pork was delicious. I then ordered the corned beef pie, but that was not available until later on so the second choice was the steak and ale pie. This pie did not disappoint, full of meat and gravy which tasted fantastic with creamy mash and veg. Although, I did not get any of my first choices, I was not disappointed in my second, homely food, well cooked and presented. The staff are really friendly and polite.

We visited for the couples dining experience. Having never been to the hotel before, we weren’t sure what to expect but were greeted with smiles and deception. Once checked in, we were directed to our room. It was a little bit of a rabbit warren to try and get to it, but we did find our room thanks to the good signage on the corridors. We had red wine with chocolates in our room as part of the package. The bed was comfortable and the shower and bath were lovely. We were eating in the Staples restaurant which you had to access by going outside. Thankfully it wasn’t raining.. We were initially seated with a bench seating, but that was really high up so we asked to move and we were moved to a different table. The food was delicious and service good. Once we had paid for our food and drinks, we went through to the bar to have a couple of cocktails. Breakfast the next day was served in the same place. A buffet style breakfast and everything you could ask for. Main breakfast meals Were taken to order and brought straight to the table. We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent modern room that was exceptionally clean , the staff are fantastic, we stayed two nights here whilst visiting the Beamish Museum. If you have paid for bed and breakfast the breakfast is served in the Rangos Restaurant which is operated as a separate business but within the hotel building . The breakfast was absolutely excellent, we booked a Saturday evening meal at Rangos , again the food and Rangos staff along with the menu pricing are excellent . Great hotel already planning a revisit back to the Beamish Museum so we will be rebooking at this hotel again which would be our fourth time , many thanks too all .
