Burnhopeside Hall, hotel in Esh

Set within 15 km of Beamish Museum and 25 km of MetroCentre in Lanchester, Burnhopeside Hall offers accommodation with seating area.

Overall a brilliant stay. Beautiful quiet spot. Grounds large scenic and well kept. House stone and 'historic country'. Enough safe parking. Room enormous, furnished in English Country Home style, but not cold. Light, but with effective curtains for once. Enough storage if a bit basic. Plenty of power points. Really large, comfy bed and pillows. Very large shower/bathroom with a strong shower and plenty of shelves, often a problem in B&Bs. Hostess so dignified and helpful. Unusual facilities available such as a full size snooker table. We didn't get to take the dogs to the river for a swim, but that's the sort of thing on offer. You do need to like dogs really, although if you don't I think the property would provide well for that.

Jon was a great host. The rural setting and local pub were excellent. A reasonably easy journey by car into Durham and to the Living Museum in Beamish:a must see. We will definitely be back and look forward to seeing more of County Durham.

What a lovely place to stay! The service was exceptional, the hostess was amazing, nothing was too much trouble! We were provided with fresh bread and milk on arrival, the kitchen was fully stocked with tea/coffee etc and even had an iPhone charger there (which was a god send as we had forgotten our own)!. We were given information about the area on arrival including good places to eat (the Italian restaurant round the corner was fabulous). We will definitely be back again, fabulous little place!

    Although we were self catering, the owner very generously provided milk and breakfast items. The location was perfect for visiting relations and going to Beamish. Very spacious accomodation and excellent VFM. Being able to have an evening meal in the pub restaurant was an additional bonus. All the staff were friendly and made us fell very welcome

    Very welcoming hosts. Spacious apartment, very clean, comfortable, of a high standard and every little detail was thought of, even complimentary food basket and beverages including milk so we did not have to travel. The pub restaurant downstairs was beautiful with an extensive menu and great value, lovely bar with kind and friendly people.
