This was my third visit. I use it when visiting family in Newcastle from down south. It’s ideal location as quiet and just off A1. At the end of the journey I don't have to get into the inevitable traffic going across the bridge. The staff are always friendly and accomodating. The restaurant which is large and made of separate rooms which are decorated differently. It was dressed fir Christmas and was pretty. The garden bedrooms are big enough and smart with field at back and carpark at the front.. For us it's an ideal stay and we love it, oh and we use Tesco vouchers for our food. Breakfasts are excellent but be warned, they can come up large. There's view of Angel of the North and loads to see and do not far away.

Being hypercritical, the veg wellington needed more gravy. Puff pastry was excellent but makes the dish a bit dry.

Close to A1 and routes into Newcastle which was great. Checked in and was given two rooms in the courtyard 20 yards from the main building. Our room was great. Looked out over countryside. Bed nice and comfy. Clean bathroom with a great shower. Nice and quiet. Breakfast was great - plenty of options and cooked to order. Good pet friendly bar with lots of choice for drinks. Menu looked good too although we did not eat there. Just the job for our short trip to the North East. Would definitely stay there again.

Nothing really - place could do with a lick of paint here and there but that didn't detract from our overall experience.

The rooms are located above a beautiful pub, serving excellent meals and breakfast. You can see the Angel of The North out of the window and are perfectly placed for Beamish. This was our 2nd stay so we have already experienced it and returned because we knew how good it was. Always a treat to get a lovely chocolate and biscuits in bedrooms. Places don't do this so much anymore so this makes is extra special. Good quality treats! Highly recommend a visit to see Santa on Xmas Eve during breakfast. The Xmas crafting table was a fantastic idea and the kids and us loved it!

A minor point but the bathroom was freezing, although we stayed in December so this is likely due to the windows being in keeping with the age of the building and not double glazed.

Beautifully located in the countryside, outside rooms are cosy and private. Lots of parking and a short taxi ride from Newcastle Central station. Staff were lovely and pub excellent! Two Yale locks on room for extra security - really nice touch.

Nothing to dislike but some feedback is that I think they could have done a more thorough clean as was quite dusty and there were cobwebs - I understand this is hard when rooms are based in an outside block. Shower was tricky to get into as door didn’t fully open and toiletries could have been refilled prior to arrival (they were lovely though). None of these things ruined my stay in the slightest and I would stay here again.

Location

Menu, ended-up eating down the road the second and third nights of our stay , as their menu was much more appealing. The windows all had alarms on which made me feel uneasy to begin with. We couldn’t open any so had to have the bath fan on a lot of the time ( not exactly good for the environment or fuel bills. If there is a problem with crime I understand but there must be a better way to solve it? Also the ivy etc around the building is in danger of taking nover and causing damage to the property, could appear neglected?

The bar and restaurant were very comfortable and inviting - the menu choices were very good and we had 2 excellent evening meals. It was also great being able to order and pay for drinks using the app. There was a good choice for breakfast and the cooked breakfasts were excellent. Our room was large and comfortable with very comfortable beds, and we were able to park right outside.

We requested a walk-in shower when booking, which we got, but the shower was very small and the opening to get in and out of it was tiny. In fact the whole bathroom was very small, especially considering the size of the room.

Room was comfortable with a good sized TV. I liked the availability of fresh milk to go in my coffee. Good quality breakfast. The restaurant area was beautifully decorated.

Had a meal in the restaurant. I chose the grilled fish special but would not have it again. The grilled king prawns were luke warm and very tough. They did replace them for me but these were not much better. They were hot but still not very tender. The salmon skin did not have a hint of charring on it so I left the skin. I had the impression that some of the ingredients had been frozen and the quality should have been better for the price. Also, the tables needed to be cleaned soon after removing the dirty plates. The tables on either side of ours were not cleaned at all while we had our meal.

The chalets felt much more private than staying within the actual hotel and having some health issues having no stairs to climb was a bonus, the breakfast was good value for money and one of the nicest I've enjoyed in a hotel

A lack of entertainment supplies within the pub, we asked for a pack of cards but it only had 46 in they had no crib board and no fruit machine for a little flutter, granted its not a big deal but it would have been nice to have options other than staring at your phones all night

I have just stayed 3 nights in one of the front rooms. Firstly, the staff were so friendly! They all had a smile to say hello and were really helpful. The location of the hotel is perfect, it was a short walk into Kibblesworth. The room is pristine, quiet, and comfortable; I especially love the coffee bar/box. I had both breakfast and dinner, the food was great and cooked well. Definitely staying here again when I come back!

Great break. Quiet hotel although quite busy. Must have been good as I stayed an extra night than I'd originally booked. Room was more of a chalet and the only problem was the sticking door, which must have swollen due to rain. Although I eventually 'got the knack' of opening and closing the only way was to slam shut which might have been disturbing for other customers.
