Countryside comfort near Durham.

The Derwent Manor Hotel is a delightful hotel near Durham that enjoys a rural location on the outskirts of Consett, nestled amongst 20 acres of Northumberland countryside. It's right on the edge of an area of outstanding natural beauty in the North Pennines, overlooking Derwent Valley and yet is easily accessible from the A68.

This hotel near Beamish is perfectly placed for those who want to see everything Northumberland and the North East has to offer. It's just 30 minutes from the vibrant cities of Newcastle and Durham - so you'll have your pick of things to do. Famous attractions include the magnificent Durham Cathedral, the 360 indoor shops in the Gateshead Metro Centre and the historic coast-to-coast Roman construction, Hadrian's Wall.

The delightful market towns of Hexham and Corbridge, along with popular visitor attractions like Beamish Open Air Museum are also close-by - so you'll have ample opportunity to get out and about. Go walking, cycling, fishing or horse riding and see even more of the great outdoors. However if you'd prefer to stay close, the Derwent Manor Hotel has its own on-site leisure facilities - including swimming pool, gym and sauna.

If you're looking for the ideal spot to hold a business meeting, the Derwent Manor Hotel has several spacious suites - making this a fantastic conference hotel near Newcastle. The same facilities mean that this is a wonderful place to hold a wedding celebration too, with epic views of the Derwent Valley as your backdrop.

With the Derwent Manor Hotel as your base, the North East is yours to explore.
