Manor House was in a great position to we needed to see (Kynren, Raby Castle, Force Falls, Hartlepool) The hotel was very clean, the staff helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. The breakfast choice was good and the food great. The breakfast was of good quality ingredients and nothing laying in fat. We had two evening meals and they too were good. We had one of the older rooms and it was nice although the refurbed rooms are available now

    Everything about our stay from arriving early and being checked straight in, the room we were in was in the original part if the building it had so much charm, temperature in the room was perfect, bed was comfortable, room was immaculate. Would highly recommend staying here, breakfast the next morning is probably the best we've ever had in a hotel.

    Durham is most beautiful city in the UK

    Durham is most beautiful city in the UK Cathedral is the best in UK and its free to enter Guided tour of the castle (£7.50) and going up the cathedral tower (£10) are well worth doing Walking by the river is also recommended. Don't miss the view of the cathedral and the old mill by the weir from the boat house near Prebends Bridge

    Great location if you plan to visit Barnard Castle.

    Great location if you plan to visit Barnard Castle. It is a lovely market town, the market is on Wednesday. Parking is an issue so we parked at the Bowes Museum car park which is free and walked into the town. Lots of good cafe's and some interesting shopping. The location also gives the chance to visit Raby Castle which is only a short drive away and we rate highly.

    Hidden gem is a very interesting choice of name for this...

    Hidden gem is a very interesting choice of name for this property as in my experience of the house, there was no beauty and it definitely should be kept hidden from anyone looking for accommodation in County Durham! The location of the property is in a blacked out data and phone signal area and according to the Bureau of Statistics, the location has a seriously high crime rate. Both of these facts, the hosts neglects to list in his description. As for the crime rate, I can believe this as someone tried to break in whilst I was out. The door was damaged and a locksmith had to come and repair it. Mould has set in to the silicon around the bath, the beds and sofa are well worn out and there was a bin liner full of household waste left in the rear courtyard that was attacked by noisy foxes during the night. The host also fails to list in his description that he has a camera inside facing the front door, which I imagine breaches privacy laws. The property is a tacky residence that has signs of being neglected whilst trying to squeeze as much money as possible out of would-be renters. Avoid disappointment and steer clear of this property and any other property this host may promote! He is very short on honesty with his listings!

    We stayed in Stanley due to the proximity to the Beamish open air museum just a short drive away. The bluebell inn, just a short walk from the Ball Alley, is a restruant within a pub, not a pub serving food. The food had a turkish theme and was wonderful. I will return if in the area again.

    Seaham seems very run down with most of the shops shuttered up. We went in August and a lot of bars and places to eat weren't open which we found surprising. One bar wouldn't serve us at 9.45pm as they were closing. The beach is quite hard to reach down lots of steps.

    Durham City was a great place to visit.

    Durham City was a great place to visit. You can spend half a day in the Cathedral, the rest of the time wandering around the city and river, stopping to eat and drink in the great pubs. If you want to get further afield, drive to Beamish Museum, go up onto the Pennines, Visit Kielder Forest, go the coast (Lindisfarne is worth a visit), Whitby isn't that far away and the drive over the moors is great.
