The accommodation was very comfortable clean and quiet. Very handy for the event we attended. Breakfast was excellent and staff attentive during the whole of our stay. Highly recommend it.

The owner, Julie Bell, and her family were fantastic. Very warm and welcoming, going out of their way to make sure my stay was the best it could be. The food was good, the room - while small - had everything I needed in it, and I spent several evenings in the cosy conservatory which looked out onto the garden, with a cup of tea and a good book, winding down and relaxing after a busy day. I was in the area to visit an elderly relative in a care home in the next town over where there were no rooms to rent, so usually took the bus over and back every day. On the Sunday, when there was no bus service, I asked Julie to book me a taxi, but she kindly took me in her car instead. Julie also drove me to the train station when I left so I didn't have to get a taxi then, either. I was overwhelmed with her kindness and thoughtfulness!

Beautiful little guest house, ideally set, clean, fresh, tidy, homely, the room had great access, room heating, bathroom, beautifully clean, flat screen tv, fresh clean plush bedding. Staff member was absolutely great, brought me dinner to the room as I was studying, prepared complimentary breakfast after learning I was leaving early. I travel a lot for business and can honestly say this place has far surpassed any chain or named hotels, would 100% recommend and want to say Thankyou again for your kindness and outstanding service.

My meal in the restaurant was delicious, luscious, freshly cooked fish pie, atmosphere calm though busy. Service excellent. Breakfast: Good, basic, UK-style 'continental'. Very impressed by Julie getting some plain, unsweetened, live yoghurt for me on second morning. Staff were lovely, helpful, kind and full of useful local information. Location was excellent for guests with transport and It was fine for me with no car. Near enough to centre of Bishop Auckland to take a cab or a bus (but not frequent). Room was a very clever use of a small space. The decor was lovely, bed gorgeous. My desire for a comfortable armchair (room too small for one) was satisfied in the conservatory which is a lovely quiet space if the pub part of the premises is open.

Amazing staff! Everyone was super friendly and really helpful. We were going to the nearby Kynren show and they gave us lots of advice about getting there and back. We were able to walk from the hotel, it was about a 45 minute fast walk, but saved on waiting for taxis etc We ate an evening meal at the Quarry Burn before going to Kynren, the food was very nice. The following morning’s breakfast was fantastic. Pastries, jams etc arrived on a tiered afternoon tea style stand, the cooked breakfast was cooked to order, nothing too much trouble. Would highly rate this pub with rooms. There was a nice scarecrow festival happening in the village too, great fun to look at on our walk to Kynren.
