Amazing place! The reception is fabulous and the menu looks amazing! It's situated right next to a golf course so plenty of nature to explore. Staffs were friendly, rooms were cosy and comfy, good amenities too!

Booked for two nights to go to Beamish museum . Travelling by train. Walk , part uphill to Castle takes about 30 minutes from the station. Uber £ 8 bus quite complicated.
There is a bus from town centre to the hotel but it’s quite complicated suggest if unable to walk book a Uber. Bus from town centre to Beamish entry very easy, £2.50.
Now for the Castle itself. You can’t help falling in love with the quaint and worn castle the ‘worn’ being part of its attraction. We stayed in the stables in an upstair room. Stairs are quite narrow with small landings so not suited to those with hip and calling difficulties. Bed , bedding and bathroom immaculate and very comfortable. Room very peaceful with early waking of bird song. Bathroom had a separate magnifying mirror which was very much appreciated. Down side was the dust on the beams over the bed hence the lower score for cleanliness.
Now for the breakfast and restaurant service. Faultless. Food of the highest quality with service to match. Breakfast matches the London 5 star ratings.
Overall this hotel was exceptionally good value and a place we plan to visit again. We highly recommend this for anyone visiting Beamish who appreciates high quality food, something a little different, peace and quiet who enjoys a lovely bath.

Service was great, facilities great, was woke up early hours of the morning with fire alarm blaring in the room. my wife rang reception to see what was happening, the receptionist was quite abrupt and rude and said he knows I'm dealing with it, no apology on checkout. For us it is a luxury to have a overnight stay in a hotel, we were left feeling deflated and tired

The hotel is located at the edge of Chester le Street about half way between Durham and Newcastle. The hotel is a small castle built over 600 years ago with great function rooms that transport you into being a prince or princess.
There is a lot of green around the castle and Chester le Street Golf Course is on the doorstep.
Rooms in the castle are very nice but there are also rooms outside of the castle which may be preferable for older people. The restaurant serves a great meal and they have an extensive wine list.

The hotel was lovely. The downside was that the staff were not friendly or engaging at all at check in and our room was not serviced, though I had asked it to be serviced. My husband had to go to reception to get more tea milk and coffee and then we asked for some more they were reluctant to give it ! The staff at check out were very nice.

Quality hotel in a well maintained historic building which makes a refreshing change to the plastic accommodation thrown up today.
Staff friendly and attentive, pity about the internet being down for maintenance which took the edge off my stay which was semi business but these things happen.
