The Fir Tree Country Hotel

Excellent food, mains looked good, but so did everything else so I had 2 starters and the beef dip off the lunch menu. Friendly welcome, seating inside and out. Good service. We weren’t staying, but looks like offers for accommodation packages. Recommended.

My wife and I stayed at the hotel for four nights at the end of June 2024 and were very pleased with all aspects of our stay. The bedrooms are adjacent to the main building, being recently refurbished in a tasteful modern style and containing a small en-suite with toilet and shower. Two bedside lockers and a chest of drawers provide adequate storage, but it lacks a full wardrobe. Hanging space is provided by a shelf with clothes hangers and hooks. TV is available in each room. The room was spotless on arrival and every morning the room was fully cleaned and all towels replaced. Breakfast in included in the room price, but the evening meal isn’t and is paid for, as are any drinks, each evening. They don’t operate a tab system. The menu reflects its County Durham location, they are very substantial, well prepared and presented by friendly and knowledgeable staff. In summary, it’s a spacious village pub and local restaurant, that offers good quality B&B with the option taking evening meals, that are booked as required. The Sunday carvery is highly popularly with people living in the area and early booking is essential if you want a proper County Durham dinner.

Having stayed here twice before for New Year, we booked in again. The room was spotless clean, warm & a comfy bed. Lovely hot shower & big fluffy towels. Tea, coffee etc. Great menu & excellent meal. Tasty breakfast too 😊 The staff were all brilliant,helpful & friendly. Booked for next New Year! 😊🎉
