Good home cooking but reasonable pub hotel.

Really good home cooked food at a good price too but hotel side of the pub was a little expensive considering breakfast wasnt included but it was comfortable and clean and nice for me personally to have memory foam pillows instead of feather filled ones.

Quaint location in an historical building. Some uneven floorboards and doors would get stuck, but that’s to be expected ina building several hundred years old.

Awesome pub with rooms. Highly recommended.

We need to stay near Bishop Aukland and this came up on Hotels.com. The locals we were meeting knew of it and said it was good and it really was. Lovely pub. Very friendly. Great service. Awesome food. Very accommodating as we turned up a bit late but they still did food for us. Would recommend and stay again.

Pleasant overnight stay

Pleasant overall stay. Room had all the usual facilities one would expect, all in working order. Restaurant serves the usual pub fayre for a reasonable price & to a fair standard. Bed was quiet hard, as were the pillows, but this is only a personal preference. Breakfast was of a good choice & variety, although a bit pricey at £10 per head. It should be noted that access to the bedrooms was by staircase only, so would be not vaiable for everybody. Overall a good overnight stay.

A lovely stop over

Our room was beautiful. It had a king size bed and the en-suite bathroom was a good size. The only downside was that the toilet flush handle was broken but still worked. It could have done with better lighting in the bathroom as you couldn’t see in the mirror very well. The room was immaculately clean and had a sofa and tv with easy to connect to WiFi. Personally I struggled with comfort of the bed as I found it too soft but it was dressed with clean sheets and had extra pillows in the wardrobe. The food in the evening was very tasty, with very generous portions and the breakfast which you could order the night before was plentiful and generous portions of the full English which was served fresh. The only criticism of this was that the toast was not warm. Overall a lovely stay and would recommend it.

Good breakfast cooked fresh every morning. Evening meals were generous though most with chips so would be nice to have with mash or new spuds instead. Staff always polite, helpful & friendly. Our king room (number 4) over looked the church & had a double aspect so was light & bright. Bathroom was a squeeze in the sink area & the shower door needs attention as very noisy when moved. We would stay again if in the area.
