The location of burnhopeside Hall is absolutely stunning. Surrounded by rolling hills, trees and stunning greenery. The property itself is beautiful, both the main house and the farmhouse. Christine, the owner, is an amazing lady. Warm and welcoming, accommodating and very caring. Nothing was too much trouble. We'll definitely be staying there again and have already recommended it to friends

The location was perfect to explore Lanchester. The room was amazing and so was the building. I felt really welcome when I arrived and everything was explained clearly including the shower which was really helpful. The breakfast room was wonderful. There were some great little touches that made my stay special.

This was my first time in this area, I stayed in a rural environment and the views were amazing. I got lucky with sunny days and traveling around the area, the rolling hills were very eyecatching. Lovely views from the hill tops, there are lots of hills, not so good if you have trouble getting about, however driving around and taking in the views in the quiet country lanes was a big highlight for me. The towns are easy to find and are clustered around a twenty mile area, which means you don't have to travel far to see new things or visit a different towns.

Lanchester was a lovely location with easy access to Durham.
Lanchester was a lovely location with easy access to Durham. There were a variety of restaurants, we chose to eat in Clinton's which was next door to our accommodation, the old post office. The food was the best restaurant food I have had for a very long time. I would highly recommend the area and the facilities I used.

Really, we were not staying in Lanchester itself, but it does have two good restaurants and a good range of local shops, and there is free parking throughout, and there is a bypass that keeps unwanted traffic out of the town centre.

Burnhopeside Hall was even better than we had imagined and well will definitely stay again. We would highly recommend this property. The hosts were very helpful and the breakfasts were delicious. The house and garden are beautiful and coffee on the lawn is very special.
Burnhopeside Hall is one of the best bed and breakfasts I have stayed in.
Everything about The Old Post Office was great. The room was very spacious and comfortable, nicely appointed and with two big armchairs and extra little touches that were much appreciated. Our hosts were especially friendly and helpful and breakfast was delicious. The location was really good- Lanchester is a pretty little town, with the guesthouse right in the main street [and close to a great Greek restaurant] and not far from Durham.
In charming Lanchester, close to Durham and Newcastle, The Old Post Office was a great find. Beautiful rooms with lots of little extras and attention to detail. Breakfast was outstanding, with lots of choice and GF options. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We chatted to Keith for some time - he’s a great character with lots of stories. We’ll be back.
Quite simply my favourite place to stay.
Many hotels claim to make you feel at home: this one really does. The host is an absolute delight; the house and grounds are secluded and magical; and how many places let you walk and play with their dogs?
This was not my first visit and it certainly won’t be the last.
Loved the room, bed was great toilet and shower were clean, the food was good and extremely cheap. I bought a New Yorker burger and chips. The staff were friendly and great hosts and the Inn it self is situated about 5 mins from a nature reserve which was an added bonus. Really enjoyed my short stay here.
Room was lovely and spacious and had everything we needed for an overnight stay. Staff were very friendly/ Breakfast room was spacious and caught the morning sunshine. Breakfast was delicious and much better that some we have had in more expensive hotels.
Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Food was freshly prepared, wholesome and delicious. The room had everything we needed. There was a lovely atmosphere in the hotel - hard to describe but everyone in the place seemed at home.
Wonderful small inn, at a good location outside of Durham. Pub was great and we really enjoyed time spent there with the owners and a few locals. Rooms are newly renovated and comfortable.
