Hotels in Chester-le-Street, Durham

“Lady on reception went more than 100% to help. Rooms are clean and tidy. Basic but good. Next door is an adorable dog friendly pub with beautiful comfy interior decor. Be aware though. The very second last orders is called, the timer begins and the clock is ticking as lights are turned off chairs are pushed under tables and the management? Is hovering over you for your glass ?. I know we all have homes to go to, but ushering people out whilst looking at your watch is slightly unnecessary. Would I stay at the hotel again and revisit the pub? DEFINITELY! Maybe they were on a promise and wanted to get out of there ??.”

“I have not stayed in the hotel but I regularly visit for a meal and a couple of pints of Guinness! A nice and very large area for seating of various types from cosy little corners to booths. The area with vinyl flooring allows dogs and the carpeted area doesn't. Outdoor seating and parasols at the front and a car park at the rear where you pay £1 and get the cost taken off your first order. Live music regularly, of a good standard and normal prices, what's not to like.Nearby activities: Located in the town centre and not far from the riverside park which is worth a visit alone. The park is next door to the Durham county cricket ground and Lumley castle. All recommend.Food & drinks: A good selection of food on the menu and daily specials on the board, many that don't include chips!! Guinness and some real ales served by friendly staff. A nice place to visit.”
