The Old Colliery Stables

Low cost, the room was clean and warm, the owner (pub landlady) was very friendly and the quality of the food in the pub was good both in the evening and breakfast (full) £85 for 3 starters and 2 main meals, with 7 pints & a tonic, and £14 for 2 cooked breakfasts. Room suitable for a couple and NON reactive small dogs, great woodland walk opposite even in the rain!

Didn't know how to collect the keys, text and called the number provided on the booking, went into the pub in the end but it wasn't clear the accommodation was run by the pub. We were in the middle of a block of 3 on suite rooms (twin), with 2 dogs. The walls are paper thin, could hear TV one-side until 1am and word for word the conversation of the couple staying there, followed by the snoring most of the night when the TV eventually was switched off, and could also hear the conversation on the 2nd night in the other room, VERY noisy heating pipes banging until the early hours when the heating went on or off. We stayed for 2 nights to visit Durham but unfortunately didn't get much sleep.

Very comfortable and great value.

Nothing.

As always Ian and Sonia always very welcoming. Very comfortable and everything we need. New bathrooms are fab.

Nothing.

Very clean accommodation, new bathroom. Comfortable bed. Unexpected fridge, microwave & toaster was a nice touch. Great breakfast and very hospitable hosts. Would, and probably will, be back to stay.

Breakfast was not included but we had to leave early so was mot an issue. Dinner in the Royal Oak who own the Stables was excellent, freshly cooked with an excellent variety 😋 very dog friendly with very good walking just over the road.

Had just redone the bathroom in our stable and hot water wasn't working that morning but boil a kettle no worries x

Good

Location was ideal. Room had everything we needed
