Fantastic place
Richard
Timeless charm
This place is amazing! Although the signage to the entrance is not easy to see, you can argue that it is discreet and in keeping with the property; the location on Google and Hotels.com was accurate too. What a beautiful house, fabulous service, spacious and well equipped rooms and marvellous breakfast. And wonderful spaniels. Definitely bringing my wife with me next time!
Anita
Beautiful property, lovely gardens.
Breakfast was amazing - great mushrooms!
Bed was huge and comfortable.
Staff were fab - very helpful.
Only downside is no door between the bathroom and bedroom - so very little privacy.

Our stay at Burnhopeside Hall was one of our most memorable ever. Christine, our hostess, was delightful and helpful. The room was spacious and the surroundings could not have been more grand. This is a stately old home, full of beautiful furniture and dishes, near sheep pastures and the river. While there, we walked the yard and fields behind the house, went down to the river, accompanied by Barney and Spencer (the Burnhopeside dogs!). Breakfast was delicious and elegantly presented. This was a memorable stay!!

Absolute treasure of a hotel.
This was absolute 'find'. I stay in hotels regularly as a business traveller, but very rarely do I feel 'spoilt' by getting to stay in such a lovely, well-appointed and superbly run property.
Many thanks to Christine for making what I was expecting to be a ‘routine stop over’ into something so much nicer. Your attention to detail and exemplary hosting really are most appreciated.

Anne
Lovely place to stay
Christine was very gracious - we enjoyed the dogs keeping us company!. Breakfast was of very high quality. We were treated to the very large corner room - immaculate as was the bathroom. I was wondering if the large bedroom could have a mirror at the dressing table where the hair dyer could be plugged in? Seeing the deer crossing the lawn was a nice surprise.
Natalie
A hidden gem
Our stay was short as visiting the local university, but we were meet by Christine and her two lovely dogs on arrival and shown to our room. The room was very comfortable and clean. The room has tea and coffee making etc. Christine kindly booked us a table at the local Italian restaurant, which was delicious. We slept really well in our super king bed. The shower was really good. Breakfast was delicious. Lovely thick bacon, home reared sausages and eggs. Not sure what more I can say, but highly recommend. Would also recommend to friends with dogs, as a great environment for them.
Christine
Wonderful 😍
What a special treat. We were made very welcome by Christine and Philip. Not forgetting Barney and Max the 2 lovely dogs! Barney took us on a fabulous walk to the river and insisted on us throwing him twigs... adorable! Peace, quiet, tranquility with beautiful surroundings and atmospheric home. We were given a free upgrade and stayed in the farmhouse. The bathroom was exceptional. The breakfast was wonderful. Thank you so much! We'd love to stay again xx

I travel for work so I stop all over the country and burnhopeside is by far the best place I have ever stopped. The place is absolutely beautiful, proper country residents, the Lady of the house is amazing and goes all out to make her guests feel welcome. Fully VAT compliant so perfect for people out on business. The perfect get away for a couple looking for quite time and beautiful surroundings. Rooms are massive and have open fireplaces, wonderful bathrooms, beautiful lounge and study with a full size snooker table. The estate is dog friendly and the lady of the house has 2 gorgeous dogs that are extremely friendly. Breakfast is amazing with reared pigs from the farm for fresh meat from F to T (farm to table). It's a short drive to Durham centre and can highly recommend the kings head pub for wonderful food that is very generous on portions and won't break the bank. This hotel won an award for best country retreat in 2015, why it's not won every year is beyond me cause I would own a place just like this if me and my other half won the lottery.
Verified traveler
Very welcoming. Absolutely great accommodation. Thoughtfully decorated and furnished. We like dogs but not keen on them wandering around looking for food when you are eating breakfast. Happy to take them for a walk. Lovely grounds and in a very quiet location.

Perfect for those that like the countryside, dogs and classy old world charm.However if you like bland corporate confromity then stay away.

Perfect hotel
This is an old country house that has had an amazing makeover to provide some excellent accommodation. The welcome, like the breakfast, was great and my room was superb. The local village is a mile away, where a local Italian restaurant provided a great value meal. I will definitely be going back there too.

An amazing house nestled in wonderful countryside. The host is superb and I'm certain you will have a wonderful stay. Enjoy.
Chris
As far as I can remember I would rate this as probably the best B&B I have stayed in (and I have stayed in lots). The bedroom was a very good size and the bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom was huge with room for a free standing bath and separate walk in shower. All fitments were of very high quality and the furniture throughout was very nice period furniture in keeping with the house. The location had wonderful views over the surrounding fields. Breakfast was fabulous. I'd love to have stayed longer and just relaxed. There was a nice communal living area to sit and read and drink tea and coffee. Christine was a great host.
The location is a few miles outside of Durham and Lanchester.

Really lovely working farm. Room was spacious, bed linen superb and bathroom recently done with wonderful facilities. Highly recommend staying there, although do ask them for directions as their sign is so low at ground level you can drive past it on the Durham Road numerous times before finding it, especially if it is dark!

Beautiful, quiet, clean and comfortable room. The breakfast was delicious and the owner was very kind and welcoming. Barney, the resident dog/tour guide, walked us down to the river. He was fun and an added bonus. Highly recommend staying here; it was a lucky find for us.

Warm Welcome - Relaxed and Homely Atmosphere
We stayed at Burnhopeside Hall for one night in one of their Double Ensuite Rooms. We received a warm welcome on the gravel driveway from Christine and her 2 lovely springer spaniels Max and Barney. The house is a Grade 2 Country House which stands in its own picturesque grounds, down a long driveway, just off the A691 Durham Road. The house itself is steeped with local history, tastefully decorated and is full of charm. It is surrounded by acres of gardens and woodland and is ideal for a relaxing stay in the countryside. The rooms are large and comfortable, and the beds are enormous - super king-size!! Breakfast was a treat - fresh fruit, cereals and best of all, the cooked breakfast included sausages made from their own drift of pigs.
Burnhopeside Hall is one of those true gems that one finds every now and again. Our stay was only short, but the warm welcome and relaxed homely atmosphere will certainly bring us back again in the near future.

I travelled to Burnhopeside on a snowy evening and was held up on the way there because of accidents on the A1. I arrived after 11pm and the hosts were there to clear the way down the drive. The breakfast was superb and set me up for the return journey.

Georgian Delight
We have just returned from two wonderfully relaxing nights at Burnhopeside Hall. It was like stepping into a Jane Austen novel, but with 21st century comforts. The Hall itself is a beautiful building, tastefully furnished with spacious rooms. Our bed was enormous! The ensuite bathroom was spotless, with an excellent shower. The owner, Christine, provided fresh milk for the welcome tray twice a day.
Breakfast was delicious: fresh, hot and tasty, and served in a lovely dining room overlooking the grounds. There are also two friendly spaniels.
Christine was a very thoughtful and helpful host. She recommended an excellent Italian restaurant, Ravello's, nearby and sorted out a taxi for us.
We visited Durham, Hadrian's Wall and Hexham while we were staying. On our last morning, we walked into Lanchester along the river and cycle path, a very pleasant walk.

One of the ..........No The Best Hotel I have stay
Where do I start. Booking easy through expedia. On route to the hotel the owner Christine called she gave me precise details of the Hotels location. Very useful when arriving in the dark and the Hotel being quite remote.
The Hotel is an absolute beautiful Grade 11 listed home, exquisitely furnished and huge proportions. It was a real treat to be allowed to share this house with the owner and other residents.
I travel extensively around the UK and have done for some time but I have never experienced the quality and attentiveness that Christine provides.
I stayed longer than agreed and was upgraded to a suite at no extra charge not because Christine had to but because she wanted to.

This is how a country hotel should be
Fabulous place - probably the most comfortable hotel I have stayed in anywhere in the world. So friendly and helpful. The bedroom was huge and the bed (super king size) was so good we are looking to buy the same mattress for home. Breakfast was exemplary. So many ordinary things were simply done well - like fresh milk in the room each day with good quality teabags. The grounds were lovely to walk round.

Would of been better if no flies.
One night stay on our way up to Scotland. Interesting residence with grand staircase and tall ceilings. Stayed in the top floor family suite with 2 bedrooms and kitchen/living room. Comfortable beds and good breakfast.
Bathroom had an old fashioned tub with out a shower, although there was a handheld spray nozzel that worked fine with plenty of hot water.
After being shown our room we left to go out to dinner at a recommended Italian restaurant (excellent suggestion); upon our return we decided to settle in for a relaxing evening watching tv in the living room portion of the suite. Soon as we turned on the lights we noticed multiple flies buzzing about, tried swatting them and then closing the window shades which only brought a lot more of them in. There was just too many of them to make it accessible so contacted the proprietor who came over and sprayed the area. Fortunately the living room could be closed off from the rest of our rooms and there wasn't an issue of flies in the bedrooms. She then showed us the downstairs living room and billiards table which we used before heading to bed.
Although everything else was fine, the fly issue really grossed us out.

Lovely stay
Burnhopeside Hall is a charming guest house with excellent personal service. A refreshing change from most hotels. Lovely welcome from the owner and her two spaniels even though we arrived quite late. Room was spacious and well apppointed. Nice homely touches like having fresh milk for tea/coffee in the room. Breakfast was delightful around a large table chatting with other guests - all delivering daughters to Durham University. Wish we could have stayed longer and enjoyed some of the other facilities and the gardens. Will definitely return.

I will definitely stay again when I return to the north-east.
