This was my first time in this area, I stayed in a rural environment and the views were amazing. I got lucky with sunny days and traveling around the area, the rolling hills were very eyecatching. Lovely views from the hill tops, there are lots of hills, not so good if you have trouble getting about, however driving around and taking in the views in the quiet country lanes was a big highlight for me. The towns are easy to find and are clustered around a twenty mile area, which means you don't have to travel far to see new things or visit a different towns.

Lanchester was a lovely location with easy access to Durham.
Lanchester was a lovely location with easy access to Durham. There were a variety of restaurants, we chose to eat in Clinton's which was next door to our accommodation, the old post office. The food was the best restaurant food I have had for a very long time. I would highly recommend the area and the facilities I used.

Really, we were not staying in Lanchester itself, but it does have two good restaurants and a good range of local shops, and there is free parking throughout, and there is a bypass that keeps unwanted traffic out of the town centre.

We didn't have much time to explore Lanchester only Burnhopeside Hall and had dinner at the Jolly Drover . We had visited nearby Beamish open air museum . The day and over night stay was brilliant . We definitely wished we had stayed for longer and we will definitely return .

Burnhopeside Hall was even better than we had imagined and well will definitely stay again. We would highly recommend this property. The hosts were very helpful and the breakfasts were delicious. The house and garden are beautiful and coffee on the lawn is very special.
Burnhopeside Hall is one of the best bed and breakfasts I have stayed in.
Beautiful property, period features and so many antiques. Every room was very impressive. Most comfortable bed ever experienced in a hotel. The grounds were well maintained and ideal for my dog, Peggy.
The welcome we received from our host Phil including a tray of tea, a chat about our needs, he was genuinely interested in us as guests, we immediately relaxed in such beautiful surroundings. Phil also cooked a breakfast to die for…at a time convenient to us. Would recommend this hotel to friends & family. Thank you Phil.
Everything about The Old Post Office was great. The room was very spacious and comfortable, nicely appointed and with two big armchairs and extra little touches that were much appreciated. Our hosts were especially friendly and helpful and breakfast was delicious. The location was really good- Lanchester is a pretty little town, with the guesthouse right in the main street [and close to a great Greek restaurant] and not far from Durham.
A wonderful pub/hotel with exceptional service. The staff were exceptional. The food was excellent and tremendous value for money. The cost of the room including an excellent breakfast was also exceptional value for money. The bedrooms were large with extremely comfortable beds All in all a true gem of a place
Loved the room, bed was great toilet and shower were clean, the food was good and extremely cheap. I bought a New Yorker burger and chips. The staff were friendly and great hosts and the Inn it self is situated about 5 mins from a nature reserve which was an added bonus. Really enjoyed my short stay here.
What an amazing property. The hotel is a wonderful example of restored architecture. Large rooms, comfortable bed to die for and an excellent breakfast. The lady that runs it, is very welcoming. couldn’t ask for more.
Perfect location for local trips to Hartlepool, Beamish and the moors.
Lanchester itself also v good for local shops, eatery options etc.
Attentive staff making good efforts after a very recent change of hands.
Wonderful small inn, at a good location outside of Durham. Pub was great and we really enjoyed time spent there with the owners and a few locals. Rooms are newly renovated and comfortable.
Absolutely everything. Christine was a wonderful host and made us feel very welcome. The hotel is stunning. Breakfast was perfect. Cannot wait for our next visit!
