We stayed for two nights and hadn't realised the accommodation next to the pub had only recently reopened. There were a few very minor things which needed attention, but were fixed promptly by the staff. The room benefitted from a "two person" bath, which was great for soaking our travel pains away with a glass of wine. From there, we visited the excellent Beamish Museum, a marvellous working museum which needs at least two days to see. Meals were really good with very generously priced breakfasts and attentive service.

We had a pleasant stay and the staff were very friendly. Our only issue was we found it cold although the heating was on in the room. We would come back and definitely recommend this little hotel.

Although out of season, a quiet period for the Moorings, the accomodation and staff made us welcome
1-night trip

10/10

We stayed while visiting the Beamish museum. The rooms are similar in quality to those in chain hotels but what makes it special is that it is family owned and run and their attention to their guests is outstanding. I cannot speak too highly of Lesley with whom we had most contact during our stay. The food in their restaurant is of decent quality and generous to a fault, a similar comment applying to their breakfasts. If you want somewhere welcoming and reasonably priced while visiting Beamish look to further.

We opted for the “cold” breakfast, not realising this was packaged items and “do it yourself porridge pots” left on a counter at the end of the corridor. No table in the room meant balancing on the bed or one chair to consume any of the unappetising items. We were booked for two nights, but the room was not serviced after the first night, so all of the packets from the “breakfast” used cups had not been removed. The bed remained unmade and the bathroom not cleaned. Some of the curtains were dangling and were very thin letting in the early morning light at mid June.

We stayed one night. Excellent value for money. Rooms clean and tidy and very quiet when we stayed. Just one niggle was when checking in the lady mentioned it was an extra £5 each for a cooked breakfast, however this wasn’t stated on booking. I did mention and showed the confirmation email. She checked with another staff member and said it was fine and was included in the price. The cooked breakfast in the morning was excellent and couldn’t do enough for us. The lady serving the breakfast was very welcoming and friendly. Thank you.

Shocked to find no one at reception, after climbing up and down a flight of stairs we eventually found someone in the restaurant to check us in and give us a key. The room was basic but clean. We were then told that there were barley any staff. So the room didn't get cleaned while we were there and we had to pay an extra £5 each per night for a cooked breakfast. When we went to the restaurant next morning and ordered our breakfast it was not very nice at all. We had eaten there the night before and that meal was lovely though. We appeared to be the only guests, while we were there we only saw 3 members of staff and they were all very nice and as helpful as they could be. I wouldn't stay there again though, although I have a feeling they may not stay open for much longer somehow.

Amazing hotel with a fantastic restaurant attached food lovely and service outstanding

2/10

Upon arrival, problems began immediately: 1. Incorrect Information About Breakfast: The hotel staff insisted that our booking did not include breakfast and gave us Room 6, despite my confirmation email from Hotels.com clearly stating FREE BREAKFAST AT ROOM 5 . 2. No Hot Water: There was no hot water available throughout our stay, which meant we were unable to take a proper shower. 3. Lack of Tidiness : The room looks clean but shockingly, we found a female bra left in the room. 4. No Staff Available for Assistance: When I tried to contact hotel staff for help, no staff could be found on-site. I attempted to phone the hotel multiple times, but no one ever answered. 5. Very disturbed in my room (Room 6) : The toilet in bathroom occasionally made very loud noises, and the floor even shook. I can show you video to prove what I said is true.
Ladies’ bar found in room
Gave me room 6
Not give me ROOM 5 but ROOM 6 with laud noise and floor shaking in bathroom
