Residence a Newton Aycliffe

“Comfy room, generous towels. Arrived late Friday evening, no bother getting a table in the pub downstairs for food- they don't take table reservations, so I wasn't at a disadvantage.

The staff are lovely, welcoming, very helpful and do their best to make your stay a good one. There’s a spa, a bar and a restaurant, the food is delicious...

“Fabulous to stay in a castle, food was outstanding. Will definitely be back”

“Struttura bellissima, silenziosa a pochi minuti da Durham. Consigliata”

“Check in was quick and easy. Staff were helpful and polite, even moved me from a room in the inn to an annexe room so I could be away from noise from bar. Also had a very good breakfast which is extra but excellent value for money. Definitely recommend it hotel and breakfast.”

“Very healthy options for breakfast; lovely decor, very comfortable bed and an especially warm welcome from our host Andrew”

“Great hotel for the money. Room was better than a lot of Premier Inns these days. Very helpful staff. Would stay again. ”
