A nice place to stay on the A1M
A bery comfortable stay.
TV reception needs sorting out.
If you don’t like ITV then tough! Not many other channels available.

A lovely hotel but needs a better heating system
This is the second time I have started here with the last time being in the Summer. As last time, the staff were great and the food is spot on - especially breakfast. Be warned, breakfast portions are big! The only negatives are that there should be at least a bottle of water in the room but more of an issue was the the room heating is switched off centrally somewhere around 9:30pm. I was still doing some work at the desk and the room when pretty cold quite quickly. I appreciate the cost management but had my wife been staying, it would not have been acceptable. I will stay again and do recommend this lovely hotel but be aware of the heating situation through the winter.

Great place , great staff
What a great place to stay , you have to go down some small lane to get to it ,but with the main road (A1) running just over 50m away it was very peaceful no road noice .
Check in was easy , room very clean , only problem was they are updating the room next door so heating was off but heater was in the room , also workmen didn`t start work until after 9-30 so no problems with noise .
Great breakfast with loads to choice and plenty to be had , the pub food was some of the best i`ve had ( beef & ale pie ) grat price too .
GREAT STAFF everyone of the team was great 11 out of 10 nothing was to much trouble for them .

I’d stay again
Quiet. Clean. 20-30 min from Newcastle upon Tyne, and 20-30 min from Durham.
Hard to find. Very high bathtub walls for those with disabilities.
