Quarrie House

Nice place. Clean enough but damp growing up the walls. Comfortable beds. Wifi code could be explained better. Room very hot, had to open the windows and we heard lots of noise and screaming from the local pubs. TV is complicated to use. Manual could be handy.

We stayed here for a long weekend in November 2024 to celebrate a birthday. We chose Quarrie House as it is located 35 minutes from Durham, 20 minutes from Newcastle city centre and less than one hour from Bamburgh. We thought this would be the ideal location to explore the North East and we weren’t disappointed. Quarrie House exceeded our expectations. The pretty stone cottage is located in the heart of Cramlington, an old village with four pubs and some independent restaurants in walking distance. There is also a huge mall with cinema, chain restaurants and supermarket nearby. The accommodation was very comfortable, the room was warm, extremely clean and quiet. The shared kitchen had all the equipment needed to cook our own meal (although we ate one night at the excellent Panuccis nearby!) The living/ dining room was also very nice and we laughed acting like children playing table football. Our car felt very safe in the private car park at the rear of the house. We didn’t stay long enough and still have plenty to explore so we will be back! Thank you Quarrie House!

The first time I visited Quarrie House last year it was great so I booked it again this year for my trip to Cramlington. This year it was horrific. I was traveling with my young son and we arrived later in the evening. We were assigned room 11 which was not in the main house, but outside on the car park. It was absolutely awful. Cold, damp, but that would have been fine except the room had not been cleaned prior to our arrival, in fact it didn’t seem like it had been cleaned for quite some time. The bed sheets were dirty and full of someone else's hair and body hair and stained. The bed hd been made, but the sheets were used and filthy. The bathroom had been used, body hair and fluff on toilet seat. There was a floor mirror (or rather a mirror that was leaning on the floor) covered in what I can only assumed was bodily fluids. Absolutely disgusting. The walls were yellow with damp, skirting boards crumbled, doors hanging off hinges. Completely unfit to be leased as a guest room. I tried to contact the out of hours number because all I wanted was a room Change or at minimum some clean sheets. There was no response by call, text or email. In the end I had to get a taxi to a different hotel. There was no way I was prepared to sleep on dirty sheets in a horrible damp, unclean room at the back of a hotel that clearly wasn’t part of the main hotel. There was no one on site to help and I still have not received a call or email or any response to my countless messages. Take a look at the photos. The positive reviews are for rooms in the main house. The room I got was nothing short of an outhouse. Why the heck did they put a woman and a child in an annex on the car park that hadn’t been cleaned?! No support, bo response to contact my text, call or email.

Quarrie House Guesthouse is a hidden gem! Our stay was absolutely delightful, with friendly hosts and cozy rooms that felt like home. The atmosphere was perfect for relaxation, and the location was convenient. We can’t wait to return for another amazing experience! Highly recommended!

Good spot,4 pubs and a workingmans club within 50 yards,plus a 2 Chinese,and 1 Indian restaurant on your doorstep,one of the pubs is a wetherspoons,there's also a Sainsbury's and shopping precent a few minutes walk. Rooms dated,tvs don't work unless room has a firestick,not all rooms have,walls uninsulated can hear people snoring 3 rooms away,basically a contractors type of accommodation.

I had an early meeting nearby and needed a quiet base close to the A1 with on-site parking. The site is managed remotely, keys are left in lock boxes, so I didn’t have to worry about arriving late and waking up owners to check in. The room was very comfortable with good WiFi, tea, coffee, toiletries etc. Although there wasn’t a desk in the room, there is a guest lounge with plenty of tables and socket points to work at in the evening. There are great kitchen facilities although I preferred to eat on the road. Would happily stay again if commuting in the area due to the good A1 links.
