Lodging in Stanley, Durham

“Two weeks today myself and wife were married in the Old Barn and we could not recommend the South Causey any more, the whole day was amazing. The grounds are beautiful, the food was fab and all our guests loved the full day. We booked our wedding almost two years ago and from the get go we’ve had such amazing service from Stacey and Stephanie. The day itself we had Stacey as our coordinator and she made the day so special and as stress free as she could possibly do. She ran through everything with us and guided us all day. She was absolutely amazing so a big thank you to Stacey. The evening was great, everyone had a good time, again the staff was amazing. We had Jack looking after the bar and the roulette table, he was good crack and had a bit of banter back and forth with the guests. Overall we had the most perfect day so a big thank you to all the South Causey staff. We can’t wait to come back!”

“We hosted our wedding at The Black Horse Beamish last week, and from start to finish, Georgiana and the entire team were nothing short of outstanding.

With many years of experience in hospitality and customer service, I often notice the little things that are missed in restaurants and hotels — but here, there was not a single detail overlooked. In fact, what impressed me most was seeing the team anticipate and resolve things before they even became issues. Their diligence and attention to detail were truly impeccable.

The kitchen was, quite simply, perfection. Although we dine here regularly as a family, I was still blown away by the wedding breakfast. Every guest commented on the quality, flavour, and flawless timing of the service. It was outstanding in every way.

In the evening, our bar was run by someone who was more than just a bartender — they entertained our guests and added to the atmosphere beautifully - Thank you Dan.

I normally like to balance reviews with both positives and suggestions for improvement, but in this case, there is nothing I would change. The Black Horse Beamish delivered beyond our expectations, and we could not have asked for more.

If you are looking for a venue that combines excellence, warmth, and professionalism in equal measure, this is it.”
