Beamish Park Hotel

Beamish Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Room very clean although a little dated. Patio doors but no window to open, able to park car outside room. Shower over bath may be a problem for older guests. Food excellent, we had breakfast & evening meal every day, plenty to choose from menu. Staff really friendly & helpful Would stay here again if in the area"

Radisson BLU Hotel Durham

8/10 Good
"The room could do with a little more cleaning and there was some black mould around the bath tub. The toilet needed a deep clean too! The staff on reception were excellent and special mention to Scarlet, Chloe and Josh for their help and kindness. Scarlet was particularly helpful in sorting out an alternative room for me as I wasn’t keen having a room with an adjoining door to the next room (even though it was locked!) Also special thanks to Jack (who managed the spa) and was very keen to try and sort out an issue with the steam room. He was very apologetic about this particular facility having constant issues. All in all an enjoyable stay."

"It was pleasant enough. The staff we encountered were really friendly. The decor is a bit dated. Smelt a bit fusty … but it’s an old building so what do you expect. Lovely grounds. I struggled to sleep as the bed was too soft for me (personal preference). Not sure I’d stay again but did the job for the evening."
