Wonderful friendly place, classic small country pub with beautiful gigantic meals. Good variety for breakfast too. Set in a small ex mining village in the heart of the lush Durham rural countryside, midst lots of other similar towns and villages. The staff are most friendly and helpful, as are the locals who frequent the bar. Quite easy to find, and directions to other places, shops etc. will be gladly given by anyone near at hand. This all helped to make my stay there one of the best I can...
