Pros:

The hotel is great , lots of space in the room , comfy bed , very clean , loved the shower gel etc
Good location for visiting Beamish
Great tea selection

Cons:

The lock on the door was very tricky amd we thought a few times the door wasnt going to open .
A full length mirror and more plug sockets would be a good addition.
There were fabulous tea selection but very poor coffee choice , coffee bags would be a lovely touch.

Great access to the C2C cycle trail
Pros:

Location to the C2C trail and Durham.
Room was lovely and clean with plenty of tea, coffee etc.
Beds really comfy - see below regarding pillows

Cons:

The tv would come on by itself in the middle of the night. (Maybe someone else's remote activating it from another room)
Could have done with some hooks in the bathroom and possibly a shelf or stool to put things on whilst using the bathroom instead of on the floor.
The pillows were the biggest let down as they were a bit like bricks - we had to get one for my Mom as she could not sleep. Left in room as we were travelling home by train.

Disappointing, its cheap but not good value
Pros:

The attached restaurant was pretty good,

Cons:

Two lights not working in the bathroom for 2 days, TV remote control didn't work properly and couldn't be fixed. Walls were very thin and the place is noisy, shower was a dribble. Limited parking. No staff after 7 PM. Complicated online check in.

clean, efficient, relaxing.
Pros:

the food in Rangos was very good.
The whole place was clean especially the room.
The lift was a godsend as I struggle with stairs.

This was our 2nd visit and we will definately come again.

Cons:

We would have preferred someone on Reception even just to help with local info, but the cleaner was very helpful.
