A hidden Gem

A really nice friendly place to stay offering a warm welcome, very nice, spotlessly clean en suite comfortable rooms, at truly amazing prices, which include a fantastic breakfast. The inn also provides good wholesome food all day. I thoroughly recommend this as a place to stay to break your journey en route to Scotland.

Excellent Hotel

Excellent - friendly hosts. Nothing is too much trouble. Rooms are clean and way above the star listing in terns of facilities. There is a pub below the accommodation but there is no issue with noise. The food is very good quality and plenty of ir. This pace is my ‘go to’ on business to the North East

Mark, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Food was good and our room was very good apart from the en-suite door which was very dirty both sides, it hasn’t been painted so all dirt soaks in. It needs a towel hook inside the en-suite. If that door was clean, our stay would have been perfect.
Viv, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Ten out of ten.

Fantastic staff, fantastic food, clean, comfy and quiet room and a powerful, hot shower.
Lee, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Superb value for money.

We have stayed before and were really pleased that this stay was just as good. We couldn't fault anything, from the well thought out comfy room to the great breakfast and really friendly and helpful owners and staff. The Royal Oak is seriously good value for money. We will be back!

County Durham Country Stay - Would stay again

Lovely authentic County Durham country stay. Walks into the woods and horses right opposite the pub. Warm welcome, nice people. The pub opens at 4pm so you can get a drink or sit outside if the weather is right. Reasonable prices on the drinks. All good. I would stay again. Thank you!
