Beamish Hall Hotel, BW Premier Collection

Attended Beamish Hall for a family wedding, first impressions when you turn into drive, impressive, but there are no designated blue badge parking bays and as the hotel was very we had to park in a secondary car park which isn’t much further than the main part but when you have a mobility disability any extra is a struggle. I went to check in and when the receptionist saw I was using two walking sticks changed the room we were allocated to a closer room for easier access without being asked, 10/10 for that, the wedding breakfast was nice, food was hot reasonably well presented my only criticism was the soup, it was lacking in both flavour and seasoning. The bedroom was easily accessible, reasonably well appointed, no view from the window apart from a brick wall, window wouldn’t open but there was a large floor standing fan available but that just circulated the air in the room doesn’t give you fresh air, I feel Best Western needs to look at the basics like think of peoples needs a bit more, simple things such as easier access to parts of Hotel such as restaurant less

We stayed a couple of nights here and were very impressed with the service provided by friendly staff. Rooms are in keeping with the building and, as a result, guests should not expect Scandinavian style furniture, etc. They are however, very comfortable. Breakfasts choices are extensive and the food is excellent. we would have no qualms about revisiting in the future. less

We stayed here for two nights and it was most enjoyable. Our room was facing South - South East, it was very spaceous with a contempary bathroom. Althoug the room was warm mind you that you can always open a window or use the fan in the closet. Breakfast is delicious and more then enough, we had breakfast at the stage facing West - North West view splendid views overlooking the garden. Staff is extreemly helpfull in any way they can, I want to make a shout out to one of the members but can't remember the name. This young lady was extreemly helpful during our breakfast on Thursdaymorning the 26th of July, we felt treated like a duke and duchess. The hotel is close to Beamish mining museum, there are plenty activities that can be done on the hotel grounds or should I say estate grounds. Further there's Durham, Newcastle and ofcourse the lovely countryside. less

Hotel beautiful, breathtaking, staff extremely helpful. Made the mistake of getting taxi from chester-le street. Four taxis in total. Ranged from 12 to £14. Apart from that, having a very relaxing break in a beautiful room less

Stayed here while cycling the CtoC as was not far from the route and, being close to Beamish Open Air Museum, meant we could include a visit to that too (and because we stayed at Beamish Hall we got a discount off the museum). A hotel with lots of character if a little faded. Room was good, with antique furniture (albeit not in the best of condition) and our meal in the Stables restaurant was just what we wanted - hearty burger and pulled pork sandwich is a really pretty outside courtyard (we could also have eaten inside but as it was hot opted for an outside table). Breakfast was very impressive in what looked like a former ballroom. The main problem was the excessive heat in the bedroom. The rest of the hotel did not seem so bad; the heat just seemed to hit you as you entered our corridor on the top floor. Even with the electric fan that we found in the wardrobe it was still very hot. With hindsight we should have asked for a different room, possibly on a lower floor where it did not seem so hot. Also in the grounds there was a kind of 'Go Ape' but it looked s bit run down and only operates intermittently - a bit odd. less
