Stunning grounds and entrance. Clean and modern. Lovely restaurant with nice staff. Ease of access. Hotel staff were so accommodating- Susan and Alex really made it such a a wonderful experience. The highlight was the night porter who ran all sorts of errands for us in the morning. He was a legend but we didn’t get his name!

We had an amazing stay. Our room was brilliant looking over the village green, it was very spacious and has everything we needed. We had an evening meal and breakfast during our stay. Both meals were very well presented and tasted delicious. All of the staff were very attentive and made our stay relaxed and enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again and will be back for food soon.

The food is amazing we had an evening meal and breakfast. The lady on reception was so nice. Booking. Com had mixed our booking up and gave us the wrong room but she quickly rectified this error. The round copper bath is the icing on the cake. I will look forward to our next stay as we will definitely be returning maybe in the summer to explore the beautiful surroundings. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Unfortunately we arrived on a Monday to discover that nothing was open until a Wednesday! However, we managed to go through the gate to the palace grounds and enjoyed a lovely peaceful and very pleasant walk through the grounds to the deer castle and returned by the river. The walled garden looked amazing, from what you could see over the top of the wall. Whilst the palace was closed we benefitted from the peace and calm in the grounds and left contented with a view to returning another time but on a Wednesday!

Love Beamish, have visited many times, it’s well worth having a couple of days as there’s so much to see, it’s a fabulous walk around, but also has the various transportation options, they are endless and very easy to explore Beamish, great for people who may have walking difficulties. Great for an educational experience for children too! We had fish & chips from Davy’s fish shop, queuing time can be long but well worth the wait. Only problem is that there is only minimal outdoor seating area to sit and eat the food, it could improve this by adding more tables and seats!
