Beamish Hall Hotel Reviews

The venue was extremely nice and the staff were excellent. However, the food was not good. The Chicken was dry and unseasoned and the vegetables were undercooked.The pudding was horrendous, too large and bland.

Excellent look out today, good food for our anniversary.

It's a nice place, but rather expensive for what you get. You'd be much better off staying somewhere that has a spa as there's little to do here. The Stables is a pub within the grounds of Beamish Hall and I'd recommend this place. Good selection of drinks, great food and good atmosphere with a nice outdoor seating area with heaters.

Wonderful hotel amazing location stunning grounds and our room with its antique furniture was lovely. Breakfast with its pure white napkins China cups and beautiful food was wonderful.a truly lovely experience marred greatly by a not restful second night when a large rowdy bunch of uni law students ran amok until well after 1am

Whether you want to stay in a luxury hotel or are just calling by on your walk with the dogs this place is great. (although not sure they let dogs in anywhere, there are always awnings up in the courtyard)

Beautiful hotel , staff friendly and helpful , food was very good both breakfast and in the stables restaurant .
Lovely grounds , very picturesque ,
Hotel was lovely and clean as were the bedrooms ,
Great breakaway and will definately be returning .

amazing venue yestetday for my sons wedding...and my room...wow

Had a very nice afternoon tea here, but it was spoilt because the facilities for wheelchair guests are not what you would expect from a hotel like this. The lift was too small for the wheelchair and we still had to get my aged mother up another 8 stairs to gain access to the Eden room where the tea was being served. Even on the ground floor it is not very wheelchair friendly.

I would have been disappointed if we had of paid much more for this experience(Alice in Wonderland). It's a great concept but it just needed a bit of a tidy up as it looked like they had rehashed a lot of previous events with sections badly hidden or boarded up.

For how much we did pay though, we did enjoy it and its worth a visit if you want something different to do for half an hour.

You will need to organise something else for lunch though as picnics are not allowed on the grounds.

Advice to parents with young children, buggies are not allowed in the experience

At a Christmas fayre. Lovely place lots of stalls and choice. But issue was could not move easily through the halls so did not see everything

What an amazing experience. We got married here on Thursday and it was unreal. The staff were absolutely amazing and so friendly and helpful. The place itself was absolutely beautiful. Best day ever!!!
All our rooms for us and our wedding guests were clean, bed was sooooo comfy. Thank you so much to all the staff who helped make our day as special as possible.

Love & Thanks from Mr & Mrs Elsdon xxx

First evening at the winter festival -- interesting gin selection!

Quaint old school hotel. It's mainly a wedding venue. If you can go when there are no weddings going on, you'll really be able to appreciate the building.

Great kids outdoor play area too.

Lovely hotel. Nice, clean room. Couldn't seem to get the heating right, it was either too hot or too cold but that was probably our fault and we were only there one night anyway so didn't ask about it. Really nice breakfast too if not a little pricey.

just had my daughters wedding at beamish hall. What a wonderful experience. From the minute we walked in the door to the minute we left the next day the staff could not have done any more for us . The place was immaculate the service was unbelievable the food was incredible and the whole atmosphere was just amazing . So anybody thinking about a wedding do not hesitate to go to the beamish hotel. So a big thanks to all the staff for making our day just that bit special

Bryliant hotel fantastic place service there is a I will always back to this place food stunning

Great place, lovely location and the stables is probably one of the best places around for food, great atmosphere and very nice ales!

Good hotel, and expansive range of facilities. Around the back is the brewpub and restaurant. I only used this for a wedding anniversary celebration, but the catering and staff were very good, well drilled in service too. It is off the beaten track however, so you'll probably need a taxi or such to get you here.

Beautiful place although we had afternoon tea which was not value for money

Brilliant venue for a wedding. Couldn't fault the staff or the room we had

Great ballroom, lovely well-manicured grounds. I replaced someone at the last minute and they catered to my differing dietary requirements very well with next to no notice. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Best 'Hall' in the area imo.

My room was disgusting with an inch layer of limescale coming off the shower head, brown marks & cracks all over the bath tub. Filthy room with dust & damp so strong you could smell & feel it when you breathed! Wouldn't stop there again for free! Which is a shame for such a historic place in a lovely setting!

Attended a wedding so we had an 2 day stay. Room was pretty out of date and bath was disgusting that we didnt even want to use it. Nothing special

Location is a bit out of the way. Overall ambience is really nice. Service was excellent

What a fantastic venue lovely meal great night sleep breakfast spot on and very friendly and helpful staff

Went for a wedding, lovely food and good accommodation

Beamish Hall is the perfect location, beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces and great staff.

Bed very small and a king size would have made it more enjoyable , food brilliant and staff. More welcoming at front of house with a more guided plan of how to get to your room would have helped greatly

Beamish Hall and particularly The Stables Bar are places I love to visit. The surroundings, atmosphere and more importantly beer and food are always very good.

Venue is amazing. Grounds are amazing. Staff are amazing. Slightly disorganised. Food could be better.

Staff was great. Good is varied a day well made. Little expensive but worth it.

Stayed here as part of a training course. Fantastic venue with helpful staff and wonderful food.

Lovely location, hard to get to, the road there was a little dangerous, and was overpriced

Absolutely fantastic lovely place to go grounds are amazing

Beamish hall was fantastic. Staff so helpfull and lovely. Th bar opisit is lovely food is Amazing

Lovely hotel all original features lovely grounds amazing afternoon tea has its own stables bar and micro brewery. Holds lots of music events.

Willy wonka afternoon tea!!! Amazing... Made to feel very welcome and special. Cakes were beautiful- highly recommended

Staff were very friendly, the hall was gorgeous and our room the same. Well kept. Very very clean. Ate in the stables...was a beautiful place and the food excellent. Would recommend and definitely want to go back x

Good
food

Comfortable, good food and great staff. Beer lovers will appreciate the micro brewery, distillery tours available. Close to Beamish open air museum, well worth a visit.

Just go there. Porsche club meet here so often lots of nice cars to look at.

Fabulous setting for a delicious Sunday lunch. Would recommend

Lovely venue with really friendly and helpful staff

Stayed in the premier room which was fantastic. Food was lovely.

Beautiful location, stunning rooms and excellent customer service

Stayed last night. Very good service throughout our stay. Food was really nice at the Stables restaurant. Will certainly visit again.

Went for a wedding, lovely time, lively food and reasonably priced drinks.

We attended for food and drinks and had a great time. The food was excellent.

We stayed here as it was very close to the Beamish Museum which was our sole purpose for the visit. The room was very large, grand and was perfect to be our base. It will be our new tradition, to visit at Christmas. The grounds are really pretty. The staff where very helpful, friendly and accommodating.

Staff was great. Good is varied a day well made. Little expensive but worth it.

Just had an overnight stay very good,great staff massive room very warm good food, bit quiet but it was a sunday and its a very old building full of character so expect it to be what it is great stay many thanks CJ

Large comfy room with jacuzzi bath and shower. Plenty of food choices at breakfast. The Stables Restaurant is a short walk from the hotel. Afternoon Tea was served in the Eden Room. Any cakes not consumed at the sitting can be boxed and taken home. Advance booking required. Good location for Beamish Museum.

Had a couple of nights here for a family get together and a visit to Beamish Open Air Museum. The rooms were oldy world, but well appointed, with a ridiculously comfy bed. The Stables Bar and Restaurant was an absolute delight. The food and Beamish Ales were excellent. The Staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended! The most comfortable and relaxing hotel I've ever stayed in!

Wedding Stayover - fantastic building and surroundings when pulling into the grounds of the hotel made increasingly better by the warm welcome from staff in reception. Check in was very quick and welcoming.

Our room was good - I would say the bed was a little small but having spoke to other people at the wedding bed is room dependant. Overall the room was clean, tidy and decorated to match the theme of the hotel.

Breakfast staff were fantastic on both mornings, attentive and non harrassy just what you need on a morning!

Overall great stay and would recommend.

A beautiful venue which went above and beyond for a family members wedding. I would highly recommend to all.

Bonfire night had the potential to be amazing but was unfortunately a massive let down. Not enough caterers meant waiting an hour for chips, but we thought we might as well as the advertised fair ground rides were too small for our 10 year olds.
The fireworks display started so late that people were starting to leave and there were rumours in the crowd it had been cancelled.
Attempting to leave was mayhem not a steward in sight just adding to the general theme of waiting around.
Felt like it was done on a shoestring, as many people rammed in as allowed. Brace yourself if you are going tomorrow. Let your kids take their iPads and headphones to entertain themselves and to block out the rave music.

Quaint and full of character. The hotel staff are very friendly and the service is very good. The grounds and location are also very pleasant. The restaurant serves pub food my cod and chips were big enough for 3 people. However some of my colleagues had the steak and were less satisfied. The breakfast was ok but it seems they can only do eggs one way - fried solid.

Had breakfast here on Christmas morning. It was delicious! The staff were super duper and the choices of what we could have to eat was wonderful. I'll be returning here in no time as an overnight guest I think. Top marks!

From check in to check out, the staff were amazing. Such a friendly bunch of people. We were very happy with our room, it was very clean. Food served was pretty good and parking was not an issue. We have already booked another stay here.

We have upgraded from a standard room to a deluxe purely for more space. A standard room however is still quite big if we wanted to take more luggage and stay 2 nights we may need a little more room.

Prices of food an alcohol were fair and we enjoyed both our evening and breakfast meal.

I would 100% recommend this hotel.
