The countryside setting near Beamish Museum is widely liked for its peaceful views and pleasant outdoor spaces like the beer garden. Rooms are praised for stylish, cozy design and large beds, though some guests note noise between units and occasional quirks with temperature, lighting, or amenities. Overall, expect a comfortable stay that's strongest on atmosphere and rooms, with dining that can be slow.

Lovely room. We were in Thyme. Small but very comfortable for a couple of nights. Very handy for Beamish museum. Fabulous food in restaurant both evenings and breakfast in the conservatory was also excellent. Lovely beer garden with the most amazing hanging baskets I have ever seen. Little shed areas with heaters made it great to chill after dinner. All staff encountered were great. If I had to give a negative I would say I wish could have turned off the outside light over the door as it was quite bright during the night but certainly didn't ruin the stay.

Lovely and comfortable accommodation set in thr countryside just outside Newcastle. Loved the snug bar area with roaring fire and great choice of beers. Food was great and good value. Rooms were large and comfortable with everything you would need for either a short break or a business trip. Take time to find this next time you are in the area.

Came here for my partners 50th birthday, we had a fantastic stay from start to finish, we stayed in Thyme the room was spacious and beautifully presented and lovely and warm when we walked through the door. The surroundings were stunning, peaceful and tranquil. The pub was lovely for an afternoon drink after unpacking. Our restaurant meal on the night was lovely too also the breakfast on the morning was delicious, compliments to the chef. I would highly recommend this place for a little get away. Perfect.

Very Clean and lovely room. I know we didn’t pay a fortune for us both to stay BB and it was the Black Horses most basic room and was lovely. Very modern with almost everything we needed. Would stay again but Sunday evening bar meals finish at 6pm so best have your meal just before as no other food at the pub is available until breakfast. Which is fine but we had our meal at 2pm. No room service either so a bit peckish by 7ish. Not even a scone on offer but biscuits in room with tea and coffee. Restaurant open every other evening till 9pm.

Lovely hotel with amazing country views. Check in and out was very smooth with a lovely lady on reception. The room, just a standard double, was very nice although the floor could have been cleaner. The service in the restaurant was very slow and the food a bit hit or miss, on the first night our meal wasn’t very nice but the next night it was good. In the morning we waited 45 minutes for our cooked breakfast and the selection of cold items was quite poor and no tongs for the bread. It’s a shame that the restaurant is letting down what is otherwise an excellent hotel.

Apartment was gorgeous, great size very clean. Friendly helpful staff lovely place to stay. With being in lower apartment though you can hear every movement from the ones above, very frustrating overnight even hear the toilet flushing and filling back up. There was a wedding on when we were here so apartment 4 was very vocal and loud at 1am in the morning yapping outside there apartment, shouting on Rachel.

Great staff, couldn’t do enough including one lending me his phone cable. Reasonably priced accommodation and food. Beautiful setting near Beamish museum. Large comfy bed, bath robes, bottled water and teabag’s etc. Shower grouting could do with a clean but good pressure. Very shallow washbasin which splashed you when the taps turned on if you’re not aware of it. Would definitely stay again.

We chose a bad day to go, there was a Christmas fare on in a marquee in the grounds and the place was packed out with every available member of staff busy in the restaurant, so there was no one mannig the reception, so, we did as the notice on the door said and asked a member of staff to check us in, and although she was rushed of her feet she got us checked in along with another couple who had also arrived. That was the only delay we had during our two night stay. The room (Sage) was warm, comfortable and very clean. The food was top notch too apart an amour plated topping on the steak pie, but the steak was as tender and tasty as you like. The staff were spot on, very polite and attentive without being overly so.

The location and grounds are beautiful. We stayed in a junior suite overlooking fields with rattan furniture on the deck area - we were lucky and had nice weather for our one night stay so enjoyed a glass of wine in the sun. Room was huge and well presented and generally really comfy. Unfortunately the check in was poor - we had to ask where the room was rather than being escorted. The under floor heating would not turn off so the room was really warm. The room was adjoined to other rooms with connecting doors which meant it was very noisy which would probably be ok and more suited if you stayed as part of wedding party for example. Our food wasn’t good. Shared meat platter for £26 was worth about £3 and very little meat although scotch egg was nice. Fish and chips awful and no taste - we had to complain and were given partial refund on food. Service poor - they had some large parties in but that’s not an excuse we were left waiting 25 minutes after our meal so just had to leave the table. Such a shame for a lovely place .

Beautifully furnished room and very comfortable ginormous bed, let down a little by a mean supply of water/coffee/tea/milk considering the price of a nights stay. Weirdly, the door to the room (looking into the hall) had obscured glass, but the bathroom (looking into the entire bathroom and bed room) did not. So you had to pull the blind every time you used the bathroom or changed clothes. Had us scratching our head a little as the window was passed outside directly by other guests. Breakfast was nothing to write home about but adequate. The 9-45 room service shout out was rather early and as we didn’t need anything for the room at that moment, we didn’t get ANY room service later, either.

We had a lovely stay here whilst visiting Beamish Museum. Can’t fault it at all. Be aware when booking online the cost is quoted as “Best bed and breakfast rate” however when settling our bill at the end of our stay, breakfasts had been added on top. This was swiftly resolved but best to check directly when booking.

We chose a bad day to go, there was a Christmas fare on in a marquee in the grounds and the place was packed out with every available member of staff busy in the restaurant, so there was no one mannig the reception, so, we did as the notice on the door said and asked a member of staff to check us in, and although she was rushed of her feet she got us checked in along with another couple who had also arrived. That was the only delay we had during our two night stay. The room (Sage) was warm, comfortable and very clean. The food was top notch too apart an amour plated topping on the steak pie, but the steak was as tender and tasty as you like. The staff were spot on, very polite and attentive without being overly so.

Lovely hotel with amazing country views. Check in and out was very smooth with a lovely lady on reception. The room, just a standard double, was very nice although the floor could have been cleaner. The service in the restaurant was very slow and the food a bit hit or miss, on the first night our meal wasn’t very nice but the next night it was good. In the morning we waited 45 minutes for our cooked breakfast and the selection of cold items was quite poor and no tongs for the bread. It’s a shame that the restaurant is letting down what is otherwise an excellent hotel.

We had a lovely stay here whilst visiting Beamish Museum. Can’t fault it at all. Be aware when booking online the cost is quoted as “Best bed and breakfast rate” however when settling our bill at the end of our stay, breakfasts had been added on top. This was swiftly resolved but best to check directly when booking.

Lovely room. We were in Thyme. Small but very comfortable for a couple of nights. Very handy for Beamish museum. Fabulous food in restaurant both evenings and breakfast in the conservatory was also excellent. Lovely beer garden with the most amazing hanging baskets I have ever seen. Little shed areas with heaters made it great to chill after dinner. All staff encountered were great. If I had to give a negative I would say I wish could have turned off the outside light over the door as it was quite bright during the night but certainly didn't ruin the stay.

Great staff, couldn’t do enough including one lending me his phone cable. Reasonably priced accommodation and food. Beautiful setting near Beamish museum. Large comfy bed, bath robes, bottled water and teabag’s etc. Shower grouting could do with a clean but good pressure. Very shallow washbasin which splashed you when the taps turned on if you’re not aware of it. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely and comfortable accommodation set in thr countryside just outside Newcastle. Loved the snug bar area with roaring fire and great choice of beers. Food was great and good value. Rooms were large and comfortable with everything you would need for either a short break or a business trip. Take time to find this next time you are in the area.

Came here for my partners 50th birthday, we had a fantastic stay from start to finish, we stayed in Thyme the room was spacious and beautifully presented and lovely and warm when we walked through the door. The surroundings were stunning, peaceful and tranquil. The pub was lovely for an afternoon drink after unpacking. Our restaurant meal on the night was lovely too also the breakfast on the morning was delicious, compliments to the chef. I would highly recommend this place for a little get away. Perfect.

Dining
Many guests enjoyed tasty dinners and breakfasts, but multiple reviews cite inconsistency and slow service. There were occasional long breakfast waits, a limited cold selection, an early Sunday cutoff for bar meals, and some disappointing dishes.

The location and grounds are beautiful. We stayed in a junior suite overlooking fields with rattan furniture on the deck area - we were lucky and had nice weather for our one night stay so enjoyed a glass of wine in the sun. Room was huge and well presented and generally really comfy. Unfortunately the check in was poor - we had to ask where the room was rather than being escorted. The under floor heating would not turn off so the room was really warm. The room was adjoined to other rooms with connecting doors which meant it was very noisy which would probably be ok and more suited if you stayed as part of wedding party for example. Our food wasn’t good. Shared meat platter for £26 was worth about £3 and very little meat although scotch egg was nice. Fish and chips awful and no taste - we had to complain and were given partial refund on food. Service poor - they had some large parties in but that’s not an excuse we were left waiting 25 minutes after our meal so just had to leave the table. Such a shame for a lovely place .

Only stayed for 1 night after a trip to Beamish Living Museum. Hotel was ok but food (dinner) wasn't nice at all. I got the steak and ale pie and the pastry was rock hard, couldn't get a normal knife through it. I must say, the food was piping hot which was great though. Told the waitress, and all she said was, ok, i'll tell the chef. Breakfast again was piping hot and delicious. Overall, we probably wouldn't stay again

Very Clean and lovely room. I know we didn’t pay a fortune for us both to stay BB and it was the Black Horses most basic room and was lovely. Very modern with almost everything we needed. Would stay again but Sunday evening bar meals finish at 6pm so best have your meal just before as no other food at the pub is available until breakfast. Which is fine but we had our meal at 2pm. No room service either so a bit peckish by 7ish. Not even a scone on offer but biscuits in room with tea and coffee. Restaurant open every other evening till 9pm.
