What guests think

Travellers describe Dun Cow Inn as a traditional village pub with rooms, highlighted by very friendly, helpful staff and consistently praised food at fair prices, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere in the bar and restaurant.

Rooms are generally comfortable and sometimes spacious, but decor is dated or tired, and a few guests reported basic features, occasional mattress issues, or minor maintenance niggles. Cleanliness is often praised as spotless, though some comments cite stairs, bar areas, or public spaces needing a deeper clean or refresh. Some bar noise occurs but typically ends at closing, and on-site parking is available though limited, while the village setting is convenient for local events and nearby pubs. Overall, expect a characterful pub stay with comfort prioritized over modern polish.

This was the ideal location for an overnight stay ahead of a local meeting. The staff were very friendly and the pub/restaurant was cosy and inviting. The room was fine - a little old-fashioned but clean and tidy and everything worked. There was some noise from the bar downstairs, but this finished at 11pm and it was only minor anyway. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice. On the whole, a convenient and very reasonable place to stay.

Great stay at the Dun Cow Inn. Just what we needed after our wedding at Hardwick Hall hotel. About 15 min walk from there. Beds were comfy, shower was nice and big and the full English was freshly made and nice and hot. Good amount of parking and all at a decent price. Staff were courteous and friendly. So yep excellent and would stay again if in the area.

Some noise from the bar downstairs, but I wasn't bothered by that as you would expect it being a busy restaurant on a main road. Very quiet after closing time and road was quite as well. Good value for money.

Very good, 2nd time we have stayed at this hotel. The staff are exceptionally friendly and food is very good. The bed was a bit 'springy' but we had a good nights sleep. Only issue was there was no plug on the basin in the bedroom - this was mentioned next morning and I am sure it will have been rectified by the time the next occupants of the room arrive

Got my packed lunch for work, thank you so much, I did not expect this, and it's over and above my expectations, highly recommend staying here, I loved it, shame I had to get up early, all the best to you all, thank you A

We love Sedgefield and the Dun Cow has been a really great place to visit. The staff are all friendly and can’t do enough to assist you. Even rang me to make sure we knew how to find them. However the property needs a refresh the rooms are looking tired and so are the public areas.
