Hotels With Bar in County Durham, United Kingdom

Booked for two nights to go to Beamish museum . Travelling by train. Walk , part uphill to Castle takes about 30 minutes from the station. Uber £ 8 bus quite complicated.  There is a bus from town centre to the hotel  but it’s quite complicated suggest if unable to walk book a Uber. Bus  from town centre to Beamish entry very easy,  £2.50.  Now for the Castle itself. You can’t help falling in love with the quaint and worn castle the ‘worn’ being part of its attraction. We stayed in the stables in an upstair room. Stairs are quite narrow with small landings so  not suited to those with hip and calling difficulties. Bed , bedding and bathroom immaculate and very comfortable. Room very peaceful with early waking of bird song. Bathroom had a separate magnifying mirror which was very much appreciated. Down side was the dust on the beams over the bed hence the lower score for cleanliness.  Now for the breakfast and restaurant service. Faultless. Food of the highest quality with service to match. Breakfast matches the London 5 star ratings.  Overall this hotel was exceptionally good value and a place we plan to visit again. We highly recommend this for anyone visiting Beamish who appreciates high quality food, something a little different, peace and quiet who enjoys a lovely bath.

Great spa, great food at Fusion, and great service throughout the hotel. Good size room, but a bit dated (classic double). The safe didn't work in the room. There are too many lamps. Four in total. It would be good to have one bright light source. We will visit again.

More like a club 18-30 experience. The hotel was fantastic, food excellent and staff went way, way beyond. However, the main function of a hotel is to have somewhere to sleep. The hotel had two weddings on the night of my stay and between 12:45 and 14:30 I was unable to sleep for the screaming, laughing, partying that was going on throughout the corridors. I never heard any staff trying to resolve the situation, just plenty of noise. I had to pay £20 surcharge for my dogs to stay and they were not allowed In the restaurant - which is very reasonable, but have to say that they were better behaved that the other animals who were not required to pay any surcharge or not required to follow any basic behavioural rules. On checkout, I was not even asked if I had a pleasant stay. I assume the staff did not want confirmation of their mismanagement. If this is the sort of establishment used but Trip.com, then I can only say first impressions go a long way and I will stick to other hotel brokers in future.

Very good experience Breakfast in the room only needs 5 pounds service charge. The hotel culture is well integrated with the local area. Durham deserves the title of the first, and the cost performance is very high at more than 1k. The room is very spacious, but the lighting is very dim, and the air conditioner makes strange noises due to the age of the hotel. It is recommended to book the western restaurant in the hotel, T-Bone is delicious.

Very nice and historical hotel, quite a bit of a walk to get to our room though. Also had issues with the stairs in the hallways, quite inconvenient to get our bags to the room

Amazing hotel, perfect location for shopping at the Metro Centre. Fantastic breakfast with good quality ingredients. Also a steam room and swimming pool. The price was really cheap, considering everything on offer. Highly recommended for a short stay.

Hotel in a historic building right in the centre of the town. It is a nice place to stay and has a convenient location. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Booked two rooms for a family trip at one time. The hotel is in a very good location, near the city center, and it is very convenient to eat and shop around. Although the room is not particularly large, it is very clean and tidy, and the layout is reasonable. The bed is very comfortable, the pillows and quilts are very soft, and the sleep is very solid. The bathroom is very clean, the water pressure is just right, and the bathing experience is very good. The breakfast is very rich, with hot and cold food, a variety of varieties, and the taste is also very good, especially the fried eggs and sausages, which are very satisfying. The staff has a very good attitude, the service is meticulous and thoughtful, and it makes people feel very warm. The check-in and check-out process is very smooth and there is no trouble. Overall, this hotel is worth the money, especially for short stays or business trips, and I will come again next time if I have the opportunity.

We were overwhelmed by the friendly staffs and the rooms are decent, clear and modern. Shower is strong and hot, the surrounding area is very quiet and peaceful. I am happy to have chosen the Bowburn Hall Hotel.

The hotrl is beautiful and the workers are nice, but the sheets and bed covers are not quite clean.
