The location was a lovely calming area the Bed & Breakfast was very good and my room comfortable with one of the best breakfast every morning i have ever had Terri and her husband were very nice people and the pub is a lovely friendly pub good atmosphere had a chat with a great bloke called Fred has been a regular there for over 20 years its a great area for walking if you dont drive a car and the bus service is very good and will get you to Newcastle,Gateshead,Durham and into Stanley town centre.Tantobie is a very nice place also it has a store just across the road if you beed anything, i would certainly recommend The Oak Tree Inn to stay at i eill certainly go back again.

Everything was fine.

Terri The manager is a credit to the industry Warm and friendly and catered for all our needs The full English breakfast is excellent value for money I would highly recommend staying here There is evening entertainment on over the weekend in the pubic bar downstairs Bar prices are very reasonable There is also a shop just across the road that stocks just about everything you my need The bus stop is also just outside We will be back

None comes to mind

I was self contained apart from going into the main building for breakfast. The facilities were good for what I required. I paid extra for a breakfast but it was excellent and good value. The owner was very friendly.

No way of blocking out the light from the entrance door. Am attempt at doing this had been done at the fan light above but I think it should be possible to put up velcro for a black out curtain to be attached and removed.

We stayed here as we were attending a wedding nearby. The location was perfect. The room was massive and very clean and comfortable. The owner was so friendly and accommodating, allowing us to check in past 11pm. The breakfast was lovely, home made to order and your table set out for you to come down to. She also gave us taxi numbers to get to the wedding venue. Just all round lovely helpful service.

Nothing, it was great!

Terri and Steve were top class and very good hosts.Terri also made a lovely freshly cooked breakfast. Lovely big clean room too

A couple in the room opposite had dogs that had clearly been in the rain and the dog was smelling quite bad. I would be concerned at getting a room after clients had brought dogs although I'm certain thoroughly cleaned afterwards.

The room was a good size, very clean with a lovely bathroom and tea/coffee making facilities. Bed and pillows were comfy. Breakfast was great - full English with toast and jam, good sized pot of lovely strong tea. Terri, is a really lovely host. The pub itself is a good local community pub with a real mix of characters. We were only there Friday and Saturday nights and the entertainment on both nights was great, pub was really busy with a lovely atmosphere.

We stayed in room 2 which is above the pub and just at the top of the stairs so there was a fair bit of noise. However, we really only noticed the noise when we returned to freshen up after our days out and then we went down to the pub to enjoy the entertainment. There is accommodation separate from the property, just a the back and we talked to Terri about booking this the next time we visit.

We were looking round the North East for a car and stumbled on this not having any idea or knowledge of it , we walked in and at first thought we might not be welcome aa it appeared to just be a local but couldn't of been further from the truth there was karaoke and games and music all evening the staff and locals were all so friendly we felt really relaxed

The fire escape but only because I hate heights

The Oak Tree Inn is a friendly mining village pub. The pub has areas that are a little run down and in need of repair but the accommodation is excellent, newly re furbished and very comfortable. Breakfast is extra but worth it. The landlady and hostess was very welcoming and accommodating

Metal fire escape access to room make it not easy to carry up cases and disabled could not manage.

The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, the room was a good size, as was the bathroom and the bed very comfortable. They serve an optional breakfast which is excellent value for money, and whilst they don't serve evening meals, they are happy for take-aways to be ordered and will provide plates and cutlery. We had a dog and she had a sausage cooked especially for her each morning.

Nothing.

We stayed for one night 24th June. We were an adult family of 3. My husband and I had a double room above the pub and out daughter had a single room in the Annex. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming and we joined the speed quiz in the evening which was so much fun and we were made to feel very welcome. Both rooms were comfortable and like previous comments there is a tiny bit of noise from downstairs but it wasn’t an issue and didn’t last long - people just having fun. Breakfast was £5 each and very good value for money. We would definitely make a return visit when visiting family in the area again.

Very welcoming
