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.

The Lambton Worm 4 stars

Chester-le-Street

Breakfast is served every morning in the common breakfast area and British specialities are available on the property's restaurant for lunch and dinner. Guests can enjoy a selection of beers, wines and ciders in the bar throughout the day. The staff were incredibly friendly, the room was newly redecorated and lovely, spacious, and comfortable. The pub downstairs had a fun quiz night on and the breakfast included with the room price was substantial and yummy. Overall, I can't fault the place and the people who work there made the experience phenomenal.

The Seaton Lane Inn - The Inn Collection Group 3 stars

Seaham

Situated 5 minutes’ drive from the County Durham coastline, The Seaton Lane Inn - The Inn Collection Group features free on-site parking and is just over 10 miles from Durham city centre. Go-karting, paintballing, golf courses and angling are a few of the pursuits available just a few minutes away from The Seaton. Everything. The hotel was beautiful. The staff went above and beyond throughout our stay, from our welcome to our wonderful evening meal, the quiz (which is a must), the comfy family rooms - which were so quiet and we loved that you are seperate from the main hotel/resturant. The breakfast was also delicious. We can't wait to book and stay again.

Victoria inn 4 stars

Durham

The property is around 26 km from Sage Gateshead, 27 km from Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art and 27 km from Theatre Royal. The inn features family rooms. The room was large enough and clean. We really appreciated being able to park our car next door. We walked from the accommodation into Durham for dinner and then around the town. The next day we were allowed to leave our car in the carpark until after we'd finished seeing the cathedral in the morning which was really handy.
