We liked the way the staff were very friendly. The place was clean even though they were doing renovations. Restaurant and Bar staff were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. They were happy to chat when not busy. The breakfast was really nice. Lots of choice and very well prepared. Tasted delicious.The Receptionist on the evening we arrived gave us some history of the Hotel which was interesting. We will be going back to stay as it is also a good base for the area. We really enjoyed our stay.

Just came back from a stay here. The place is lovely. staff are great and they take great care of your little doggies too.The food is beautiful will definitely return. As a none driver there are bus stops just down a small bank which is very handy. There is also a woodland area across the roads to walk your dogs. Tanfield railway museum is also just along the road too. Thankÿou Beamish park hotel xx

The castle and grounds is amazing, very interesting and very beautiful. The Spanish Gallery is incredible - to find such a superb collection here and so well displayed. The Mining Art Gallery is well worth a visit. The wider town is very run-down but great efforts are being made to reinvigorate it and it is beginning to show. The people are also very pleasant. Currently hard to find nice places to stay and to eat out, but that will get better. A new central hotel is currently being built. There are a couple of pleasant cafes and a Wetherspoons in a historic central building. Our second visit, and we will be back again.

Love Beamish, have visited many times, it’s well worth having a couple of days as there’s so much to see, it’s a fabulous walk around, but also has the various transportation options, they are endless and very easy to explore Beamish, great for people who may have walking difficulties. Great for an educational experience for children too! We had fish & chips from Davy’s fish shop, queuing time can be long but well worth the wait. Only problem is that there is only minimal outdoor seating area to sit and eat the food, it could improve this by adding more tables and seats!
