4-Star Hotels in County Durham, United Kingdom

The size of the room is specious with sufficient space for storing luggage, and the floor is very clean and comfortable to walk on with bare feet, so feel free to leave your shoe by the door. As for the bed, it is very large and comfortable, providing you the high quality of sleeping without any problems. In the bathroom, it is not only very elegant and clean, but also provides unlimited hot water with satisfying water pressure from two types of shower heads. Moreover, there is a mini fridge placed in the lower closet near the wardrobe, feel free to drink the two bottles of spring water prepared by the host or store your own drinks or unfinished meals. In addition, there is a small safe above the fridge for depositing your valuables. In terms of the amenities on the ground floor, there is a high-end restaurant serving traditional English breakfast (e.g. egg benedict) in the morning, and the taste is fine. However, I am not a big fan of their lunch or dinner when you can have better options in nearby restaurants. Furthermore, there is a small bar just outside the restaurant. The Gym, coffee room and reception are at the LG level, and you will receive a 10% discount in the coffee room after check-in. The location is very close to the city center, train station and several main attractions such as the cathedral and castle. Overall, I enjoy my two-day stay very much, the price of the hotel is very cost-effective in terms of the four-star standards, providing an unforgettable experience for both tourists and business travelers.

At 4 PM, during peak check-in time, I wasn't allowed priority for luggage retrieval. I was told to queue with everyone checking in, and the staff's attitude was extremely arrogant, making me feel discriminated against! My Uber was five minutes away, and I had a 4:40 PM train to London; waiting in line for luggage would definitely make me miss it! I waited for the front desk to finish with their current guest and then tried to explain my situation. However, the front desk disregarded the circumstances and insisted I queue up. I don't know if this lack of understanding is part of British culture; if so, I apologize (I hadn't considered 4 PM as peak check-in). If not, the hotel should apologize to me! In the end, even the British people queuing for check-in couldn't stand it. After consulting with a few people behind them, they let me cut in line. Retrieving my luggage took only about 30 seconds. Thankfully, I made my train, phew.

last minute booking, great service, lucky enough to be upgraded to a lovely room, really friendly staff. Food and drinks reasonable.. spent time in Spa which was very relaxing and just what we needed. Had a look round new entertainment centre . The driving range and facilities is great,  will Definately be taking a  return visit.

Absolutely great place to stay, steeped in history and a lovely room too. Booked as a single but had a very comfy double bed and private bathroom. Would stay again and recommend highly!

Amazing stay. The customer service was impeccable from the off, very clean, all the necessary amenities, and a super comfortable bed and pillow.

The hotel has a very good location, which is definitely a plus and makes it convenient for exploring the area. However, we were disappointed by a few additional charges. Bathrobes are provided only for an extra £8, and the hotel parking is also paid, which was not very convenient and added unexpected costs to the stay.

First visit and it will not be last. Building is beautiful full of character. Sedgefield is a lovely village. However, the room we stayed in 416 needs soundproofing. When we went back to room on the night there was a loud constance noise like a furnace, on enquiring by staff I was advised room was next to kitchen its the extractor fans going. It did stop after evening service but was woken up early when they were put on again for breakfast and on constant till we checked out. On returning I will be requesting a room no where near kitchen.

A lovely traditional country house hotel. The public rooms were just what you expected, old world charm, the food excellent but the best asset  was the friendly and helpful staff. Unable to comment on bedrooms as we were in an accessible room which wasn’t great, good parking though. Needs attention to basic customer requirements, overall a great few days

We were very pleased with our recent stay. The accommodations were comfortable and provided a relaxing environment. The service we received was attentive and always delivered with a smile. We particularly enjoyed the convenient location and the overall pleasant atmosphere. We would gladly recommend this establishment to others.

The place was brilliant from start to finish. The staff were amazing, friendly and super efficient. The room was amazing, clean, well stocked with hot drink offerings, fan provided as it was pretty warm, everything you need is there. The restaurant for breakfasts and one evening meal was fantastic, the food is beautiful, the service exceptional and a lovely setting. Overall we had a super weekend in a fabulous hotel in a stunning location.
