A very convenient and pleasant place to stay whilst visiting family. Our room was a bit on the small side but no problem for just a couple of nights stay, ditto the bathroom which could have done with a shelf for personal toiletries etc., which had to be left in the room which was a small inconvenience. The staff we dealt with were all very pleasant, cheerful and helpful. Also breakfast was delicious. As we were visiting family we didn't have any other meals here so can't comment on the food.

I booked 4 rooms, for a friends visit to see the Kynren, location was perfect, easy parking and just a short drive to Bishop Auckland. Staff and service was excellent, very friendly and helpful, we got access to our rooms much earlier than expected. Rooms large and comfortable, great shower plenty of hot water. Food was superb, great choice large portions, all in all just perfect. Just a point of note, the stairs to the second are a little steep and no lift, so maybe ask for first floor rooms if you struggle with stairs.

Splendid Pub style Hotel,reasonably priced .
Love the location,we only stayed for one night,unfortunately it was one of the busiest Saturday nights they had for a while..The let down was having to wait for ages for our evening meal and when it finally arrived they brought it before our starters.When it finally came after our starters it was a right plateful and really enjoyable apart from the hard crust on the pies.Despite this we would love to visit again.

Fabulous, great rooms, bar and restaurant
Large, quiet, spotless rooms. Great high pressure shower. Fantastic breakfast, huge portions. If you get the chance have dinner in the restaurant. Great traditional menu. Homemade steak and kidney pie was fantastic, steak also great, chips were great quality. Large selection of homemade puddings - treacle sponge and custard was light and delicious.

Friendly helpful staff, comfy bed (but pillows a bit hard), very good breakfast but other guests walking past or above our room made a bit of a noise. Overall a good stay and a good breakfast.
