Very convenient location, very friendly staff. Breakfast was great. We had everything we needed and were able to enjoy our day at the Uni without worrying about anything.
A charming English manor house close to the A1 road. WiFi is free in public areas and food is served all day.

This little hotel is quant and beautiful - as it was 21 years ago when we had our wedding reception here. The only difference is that now the rooms are no longer a bit moth eaten and dusty around the edges but instead really gorgeous. The renovations are contemporary but very much in keeping with the original features. The stairs are still as squiffy as you’d expect from a building of this age, and it hasn’t lost any of the lovely character.
Featuring a bar and free WiFi, The Fir Tree Country Hotel is located in Fir Tree. There is a restaurant serving British cuisine, and free private parking is available.

Very pleasant room on a separate block at the back of the pub. All usual facilties you would expect & in good working order. Bed, although small, was comfortable. Food available in the restaurant was excellent & reasonablably priced. Overall, it would be good place to overnight or even use as a base to explore the surrounding area.
Featuring free WiFi, a children's playground and a terrace, Thomas Wright House offers accommodation in Byers Green. Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant. Free private parking is available on site....

Loved that I could bring my dog in the room as well as the bar area. This was our first time bringing the dog and the staff were superb and accommodating. Food was lovely with quick service. Room was really spacious and clean! Decorated lovely as well. Shower pressure was so nice as well. Nice area to walk the dog just over the road too.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location. A real home from home. John kindly upgraded us to the bigger cottage (The Loft) at no extra cost. Fully equipped, including dishwasher and washing machine (not that we used them.)
Lovely powerful shower
Local bus service to Durham/Newcastle less than 5 minute walk away. Ideal for visiting Durham, Beamish Museum (a must!) and surrounding area.
Addition of coat hooks in hall and a lamp in the lounge would be great.
Local pub (over the road serves lovely meals) and the Chinese restaurant- Wok (10 minutes walk) is brilliant
A recently renovated bed and breakfast in Willington, The Stables at The Black Horse offers sun terrace, parking on-site and sports facilities.

Stayed here to be close to family know the area...
Stayed here to be close to family know the area very well. We now live in Devon. The area is close to many attractions. It is in a beautiful quiet area but not too far from Durham city with it's amazing Cathedral and castle. The METRO CENTRE probably the best shopping centre in Britain. For those wanting a family fun day out Beamish Museum is a must, a working coal miners village. Ride the trams have a picnic by the bandstand take a look into the past and try dressing up in Victorian costumes and have your photos taken. Meet a hurdygirdi man and buy produce in the Victorian shops or relax with a pot of tea and a stotie with ham and pease pudding. Beach lovers can drive to the coast in around 30 mins and country lovers will love the vast expanse of Hamsterly forest. History lovers may be interested in the local Roman fort. So much to do so little time, enjoy.

Hunwick is tiny. It is perhaps 2 miles from Bishop Auckland.
Hunwick is tiny. It is perhaps 2 miles from Bishop Auckland. It is a good base for exploring County Durham and neighbouring areas which are full of history, beautiful countryside, excellent walking, great museums of all kinds stately homes and historic sites.
I went to Bishop Auckland specifically for 'Kynren' - an amazing spectacle, and to go to the Mining Arts Gallery, a wonderful, and moving, collection of the work of the mining artists of the 30s and the Bishop Trevor Gallery in the Bishops Palace - and to check up on progress on the 'Auckland Project' - restoring the former Bishops Palace and reviving Bishop Auckland as a place which people like to live in and visit. I ate in the Quarry Burn (excellent), in Wetherspoons - v. good, and I had tea in the Fifteas Vintage Tearoom - great fun especially for those of us who remember those days. Personal transport is probably essential to make the most of what this area has to offer but without transport I saw plenty in the limited time I had and had my appetite whetted for more visits.
