First to say we enjoyed our stay and it was excellent value. It is an interesting and pretty site with quaint rooms and a good restaurant. But it was not perfect, our room whilst superficially clean could have done with a mould spray in the bathroom, and the plumbing was except noisy , not just from our own room but from those adjoining. So we would not recommend our room (Thyme) but I expect others would be good.

Booked Luxury studio suite !
They fail to advertise that it has a single door to adjoining rooms
Can here every thing going on in next room
Doors opening / cupboards doors / taps
People talking and arguing
Mentioned on first Day to office
Was told there was someone next door and rooms are connected but door locked. And they be leaving the following day
Fail to mention someone else had it booked. They continued their argument from the car about missed junction and language was colour full .
Getting woke up at 06:30 on a morning due to them having a shower and cupboard door banging reported again
On the 3rd time of talking to the person in the office they said someone would contact me… currently still waiting
We checked out on Friday and the same lady as if everything been ok with stay
I said apart from the earlier morning wake up call. Noise doors banging and can hear there taps and showers running. No problem also advised our bathroom door didn’t close looked like hinges had dropped and the adjacent room access was next to bathroom door which had a clear glass panel it which could be embarrassing if someone walked passed if someone was in shower.
The lady said she spoken to her manager and a bottle of wine was offered , or voucher off next stay but this was only offered when checking out. Advised would like a call from manager
Still currently waiting
Rang back and spoke to another lady on the Wednesday and was told she would call me back or manager would no call

I honestly cannot tell you what a hidden gem this place is. It blew our mind. We came to go to a nearby wedding so kind of booked it without really looking and OMG what a treat. Firstly everyone’s so nice, staff / locals cannot do enough for you which is such a rare thing these days. The rooms are outstanding, cleanest place I’ve stayed and the breakfast is probably the best breakfast I’ve ever had. We will deffo be back - such incredible value too. My biggest recommendation I’ve ever made

Excellent apart from 2 points, the bath plug didn't fit so we couldn't have a bath and the neighbouring room decided they would have a full scale row at 12 a.m, maybe part of the wedding reception guests from that evening maybe but all in all, we would definitely stay again.

I can honestly say everything was perfect with the room, it was beautiful, clean, all the amenities you needed was there, front of house was well mannered and polite when we arrived. I had requested for room to be decorated alittle special as it was our anniversary, and my request was granted so if you do want to stay somewhere and make it special always ask they are happy to help.
Only one slight problem with the room is the noise level from other rooms, you were able to hear walking around, flushing of chain, water running,wasn’t a major issue but it did wake us up earlier than we wanted.
We had an evening meal there, unfortunately my only negative that they had ran out of a starter i was looking forward to trying. I feel maybe a few more options would of been nice on the menu. We forgot to pay for breakfast on the morning so unfortunately we can’t comment on that.
The staff in the bar were friendly and chatty which was nice. We have said we would love to stay here again.

Average stay

My wife and I stayed at the Black Horse for a night as we were visiting Beamish Museum. Check in was easy and we were shown to our room by the lady on reception which was a nice touch. Almost immediately after settling into the room we noticed a persistent knocking noise which sounded like it was possibly the water pipes or heating system but it was really distracting and frankly annoying after a while. We ignored it as best we could but sadly it wasn’t easy to relax. There was a dead wasp by the bath, quite a lot of dust on the shower head which clearly hadn’t been cleaned properly in a while as well as toothpaste stains in the sink. The following morning at breakfast we ordered eggs Benedict and eggs and salmon on toast. Sadly they were lukewarm at best which was strange as there was barely anyone else in the restaurant so wasn’t overly busy. When we went to check out we handed our key back to one of the waitresses as reception wasn’t manned and wasn’t asked how our stay was, maybe only a small gripe but things like that go a long way. Sadly overall we felt a bit disappointed with our stay

Beautiful, spacious and clean accommodation. All staff were very friendly from check-in, waiting staff, housekeeping staff, to grounds maintenance. Even the chef took the time to speak to us after breakfast. The outside area is perfect for young families - there’s a great, enclosed play park and lovely green spaces (with tractors to play on!) for young children to run about. Both the Sunday roast and breakfast were delicious. A brilliant location for exploring a beautiful area of the country.

Lovely hotel with amazing country views

Lovely hotel with amazing country views.
Check in and out was very smooth with a lovely lady on reception.
The room, just a standard double, was very nice although the floor could have been cleaner.
The service in the restaurant was very slow and the food a bit hit or miss, on the first night our meal wasn’t very nice but the next night it was good. In the morning we waited 45 minutes for our cooked breakfast and the selection of cold items was quite poor and no tongs for the bread.
It’s a shame that the restaurant is letting down what is otherwise an excellent hotel.

The surroundings were stunning, peaceful and tranquil. The pub was lovely for an afternoon drink after unpacking.
