The 40Winks guesthouse in Durham exceeding my expectations. The guesthouse is situated perfectly in order to have access to the Durham city center, but also feel out of the bustle of the city. The staff consistently went above and beyond to make us comfortable and ensure we enjoyed our stay. I cannot recommend them enough!

The Manor House Inn

Shotley Bridge

Set in Shotley Bridge and with Beamish Museum reachable within 23 km, The Manor House Inn offers a garden, allergy-free rooms, free WiFi and a bar. The property is around 27 km from Utilita Arena, 28 km from Newcastle Train Station and 37 km from Theatre Royal. The property is non-smoking and is located 24 km from MetroCentre. A family run business who make you feel warm and welcome from the time you book until you leave. The location is perfect as a base for exploring the local area. I feel I have to mention the very high standard of food. Its not the run of the mill bar food here. Its food fitting of a Manor house. I only wish we had stayed longer to try everything on the menu. All very reasonably priced as well. Real ale behind the bar and an open log fire. Large selection of drinks and food all day and the breakfast was spot on. Whether you are looking for a place to stay or after a meal with a proper local feel then you won't be let down if you give the Manor House a try. Well worth a visit.
