Stunning location , easily accessible from the m1. Striking building with quirky coves and corridors. Staff are exceptionally friendly and polite food delicious , lovely bar area. Rooms are lovely and cosy and again some really quirky additions with the old fashioned phone. Nice touch. Highly recommend to everyone . We will certainly return.

Hello Graham,Thank you for taking the time to write a review, as it was explained to you at the time, we were having difficulties with our internet and it was out of our hands - a problem with the actual lines that a service engineer from BT had to fix. Once again we are sorry for this, there was nothing we could do about it. We have now had the problem resolved and the internet is fully operational again. Kind regards

The hotel was excellent the room we stayed in was decorated well clean and well looked after. You had plenty of choice with drinks in the room decaf or normal tea and coffee as well as hot chocolate and specialist teas. The bed was very comfy. The staff were polite and friendly. The food served in the pub was excellent. We had to be full English breakfast. We would definitely stay here again.

A very lovely pub with large, very well equipped rooms in the heart of Sedgefield town. Although no food is available on Monday and Tuesdays in the pub… and there is a very good menu…there are good alternatives within a short walk. The experience was only flawed by the total absence of serviceable wifi in my room. Very good reception almost to the door … then nothing. This could be a good thing sometimes, but not if you have work to do! A £30 range extender would cure the matter. A minor matter, disproportionately frustrating. Would happily stay again… but maybe with working WIfi

Good afternoon Mark, Thank you for your honest feedback, we are unfortunately aware of how temperamental our WiFi is, we even have 3 boosters on the upstairs level in an attempt to cure the matter but it would seem you have visited us on an exceptionally bad service time for it. Hopefully we will see you again.Kindest Regards

Hello Kevin, I would love to understand how we have managed to score so low for you, without any information/feedback from yourself at the time of staying here, or thereafter? Without feedback there is nothing we can do to improve - even though our regular scores are 8-10/10. clearly something missed the goal for you?Please feel free to get in touch with me directly to discuss.

Having attended the popular, local festival Hardwick Live, we walked back to be greeted by a member of staff stood in the doorway to the bar telling us it was closed and we had to go straight to our room. This is despite others being in the bar, and being able to see people stood at the bar ordering (we were hoping to order hot chocolates - very rock and roll!). She then told us to take off our shoes before we went any further into the building (our shoes were wet, but perfectly clean). Not the most welcoming! I don’t they want people going to the festival staying at their establishment.

Good morning,Thank you for your feedback, I have spoken to the team working that evening and checked through the CCTV myself to get a better picture of the comments you have brought to my attention. I apologise on behalf of my team if they came across as unwelcoming, they have assured me this was not their intention and i did find it surprising myself knowing the team who were on duty at the time. I can confirm that the tills had been taken off and there was definitely no more bar service available at the time of your arrival back to the venue, from the footage i have seen there is a few last remaning guests finishing up their pints and they leave the venue a matter of minutes after you made your way upstairs. Again, my apologies if you felt their demeanor was unwelcoming - i have spoken to them all and we have taken this on board.

Very quaint stay.
The hotel is very nice, the room was really comfortable with a newly decorated interior. Comfy bed, good amount of tea/ coffee/ water all free and they also provided some Tunnocks biscuits nice touch. The bathroom en-suite was quite large and had a good shower and sink. Breakfast was excellent and the young chef did a great full English using good quality products and all cooked to order. Thank you for a lovely stay.
