• William (9/5): A lovely stay!! - Some say it needs updating, I say it is a classic English Pub/Hotel with tons of character!! We had a lovely stay. Centrally located (by short car ride) to city center and the Beamish Museum. Room was comfortable, breakfast was terrific and our dinners on both nights were excellent. Staff were very friendly and helpful. All in all a great stay. TV in our room did not work and staff were unable to correct. No big deal Pub was very busy both nights so, while the meal was excellent, service was slow. Not a complaint, but a heads up if it is busy and you are in a hurry or starving! The pub has live music on Fridays and Saturdays but it was cut off precisely when they said it would be!
• Kusella (4/5): Disappointing anniversary stay due to hygiene and security issues - The room decor was nice and staff were polite when we initially raised concerns. The location was also convenient for our plans. Unfortunately the stay was heavily impacted by several issues. After returning from our anniversary meal, there was vomit on the stairs and carpet outside our room which remained there into the following days despite attempted clean-up. The most serious issue was returning after being out all day to find our hotel room left wide open for several hours with cleaning equipment propping the door open. Staff confirmed this had happened while the hotel was fully booked, which left us very uncomfortable about the security of our belongings and privacy. There were also cleanliness issues inside the room itself, including debris, hair and used earplugs left in drawers. The bathroom layout was also extremely cramped, with the toilet positioned so close to the wall that it was difficult to sit on properly. Staff apologised and offered complimentary drinks, and Booking.com later became involved regarding compensation, but overall this was not the standard or experience we expected for an anniversary stay.
• Chris (7/5): - Staff we're very pleasant and helpfull Room could do with some minor improvements Shower was poor, toilet roll holder wasn't secured to the wall properly, paint was starting to flake off the ceiling in the shower cubicle
• Stephen (8/5): Good value, would recommend. - Good location, comfortable bed, decent breakfast. Shower head was unable to be moved upwards, minor inconvenience.
• Ann (9/5): -
• Mosley (10/5): - Lovely Nothing
• alan (10/5): Another excellent stay - The staff are very good and welcoming and the room is very good. Overall very good value for money.
• James (10/5): Excellent stay at the Worm - Staff were super friendly, welcoming and accommodating (even when I accidentally locked myself out of my room!). The pub is a lovely space with a nice cosy feel. My room was excellent, spacious with a large comfy bed and everything I needed for a two night stay. Bathroom was modern and clean with a powerful shower. Car parking was easy and accessible. Breakfast was fantastic - a buffet with juice, tea/coffee, cereal, toast, fruit, yoghurts and croissants, and cooked-to-order full English breakfast which was perfect. I'd highly recommend and will definitely stay again.
• Gary (5/5): - Convenient location . Breakfast included It was a late booking and room above the live music. Just as well he was good 😊 Bathroom light was faulty Breakfast should have been warmer
• Julie (8/5): -
• Patrick (8/5): -
• Nathan (10/5): -
• Vicki (10/5): - Was a lovely hotel, food was very good value and the breakfast was yummy 😋 Thought it could do with a lick of paint outside and just a general tidy up. The beds was ok but husband kept hitting his legs on the very big corners
• Nathan (10/5): -
• ggpg1 (9/5): enjoyed the lively atmosphere and traditional pub surroundings. - Loved the decor of the room. Breakfast and dinner were great. The room was noisy in the evening, but only until about 30 minutes after the drinks service was over (so it was quiet after 11 pm, or midnight on Fridays and Saturdays)
• Erin (9/5): Lovation hoid, bed comfortable and shower was great, excellent staff, value for money - Location was good, bed was comfortable, great shower, excellent staff, value for money
• Isabelle (9/5): Excellente option si on doit passer par là - C’est un pub très sympa placé sur une route fréquentée. La chambre a été une très bonne surprise. Très propre, grand lit, salle de bain pratique et propre. Nous donnions sur la route et le beer garden et nous avons eu la surprise de ne pas souffrir du bruit. Seul bémol, les autres clients ne se rendent pas compte que leur discussions sont bruyantes dans l’escalier. Sinon pas un bruit. L’endroit était parfait pour notre activité. Petit déjeuner compris, plusieurs choix possibles, servi dans le pub, mais cuisiné par de jeunes anglais. Sympa mais on est pas au Ritz . Personnel ultra sympa ainsi que la clientèle. Chanteur live le vendredi soir
• Dean (10/5): - Room, food, selection of drinks and evening entertainment was fantastic
• Sarah (7/5): - Staff were lovely, location was fair and seemed nice. The bathroom wasn't completely clean when we arrived. The decor was a bit tired. It was very noisy and we heard a lot of noise from other guests shouting in middle of night, but that is to expected in a pub setting.

• Barbara (7/5): Clean and comfortable with good pub food and pleasant staff, but a few simple and inexpensive improvements could have ma - Good location, friendly staff, clean, comfortable bed Decoration was tired, and needed smartening up.

Not very clean and a lack of urgency to please customers.

• Brian (10/5): - Staff were unreal from arrival to departure and everything in between. Nothing
• Joe (10/5): -
• Matthew (10/5): Will book again if working in Newcastle/ Durham - Overall great value for money, staff were very helpful and accommodating. Food was particularly good, I requested a bespoke meal and got exactly what I asked for with clean chicken and lots of veg. The Armellio room door could do with more sound insulation or draught proofing around the gaps, main entrance was squeaky (needs WD40) which I could hear, fortunately people stopped moving around before I went to sleep.

• Nathan (7/5): Nice burger - Good food, clean room. A little cold even with the heating on.
• kelly (10/5): -
• David (7/5): Came up for a funeral and stopped an extra night, if it was poor I’de have gone home or looked elsewhere. - Stopped there many times over the years. Used to book my lads in if we were working in the area, lived at the other side of town 40 years ago, so knew the pup. The bar area is not very clean, dont’t think its been decorated for many years. The stairs are dangerous and unacceptable for the disabled no ground floor rooms or a lift. Bedrooms are clean and accommodating. The staff are willing to help, courteous and pleasant. Food is good and they understand your requirements with respect to allergies.
• West (10/5): - As a softy southerner, you can't beat the North East for friendly hospitable folk and the Lambton Worm is no exception, from bar staff, chef to cleaners, staff were accomdating, polite and human unlike the personality bypass corporate robots we have down south. Great venue! My room was above a very active door, but room was clean and facilities were great, door issue was gone once bar close and got head down.
• Anthony (9/5): -
• Darren (7/5): Ok for contractors - Good food & parking Could be cleaner
• Lee (8/5): -
• Gemma (8/5): -
• Ralph (3/5): Small and tiny room with poor quality food - Convenient place to stay for our journey The room was cramped, tired and noisy. We visited in June and it was unbelievably hot with only one tiny window, which we had to close due to the noise coming from the beer chiller? We had dinner one night that was cafe food at restaurant prices. So poor neither of us finished it. The staff were very friendly. My wife seemed to think that the pillows and bedding smelt unclean
