Reviews in County Durham

All the staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. The room was great and very spacious The food was splendid ,delicious and plentiful. Looking forward to a return stay.

Had a lovely evening meal. All 4 starters and main meals were well cooked with lovely presentation and taste.

We made a visit for Sunday Lunch, was perfection, hot, plentiful, Beef lean and tender, husband got Pork with apple gravy and enjoyed bit very much. Desserts were great, nothing fussy , good old choc pudding, or waffle and ice cream and classic Black Forest gateaux. What more can you ask for. Very friendly too and nice pub quite large. Took time to care for me with not being able to walk so good.

Great food, well cooked and a good price. Service was excellent and a jolly waitress.

We stayed here for 2 nights the food was exceptional, beautifully cooked tender steak,succulent chicken ,lovely desserts and starters.

Good food, well presented, attentively served in a comfortable dining room

the food was great and we rally enjoyed it. fabulous value for money the wine was the same. however the room we stayed in was a disaste.r would eat again there no problem but stay probably not.

Really delicious Sunday lunch. Our first time and won’t be our last.

Love coming here. The food is gorgeous every time. Currently working through the menu. The garlic sauce is absolutely divine. Lovely staff, very attentive and polite. Would wholly recommend to anyone who likes good food at great value prices.

We had booked a table online but when we arrived there was no evidence of our booking. After a short wait at the bar we were taken to a table. So no issue really may just be an issue with the booking system that needs looking at. Restaurant was busy but orders taken swiftly and starters and drinks arrived in good time. A little wait for main meals but we were enjoying our drinks and the place was packed so it was understandable and not an issue. Staff were really efficient and friendly and food was really good! Tagliatelle pasta tasted really fresh with the Picante sauce.

My husband & I enjoyed our recent stay at the Derwent Manor Hotel on a dinner, bed & breakfast deal. The food for the evening 3 course meal & the breakfast was very good & the staff were very attentive.

It was just ok really. The food was ok but service was very slow, even though it didn’t appear busy in the restaurant. The drinks order was wrong and took a while to correct and then we waited such a long time for 2 ice creams that we ended up cancelling as it was getting so late. The restaurant looks very dated. The staff were polite and tried to be helpful.

The food was incredible, service was amazing and the atmosphere was lovely. Definitely would recommend to anyone and will definitely be making this our favourite place to come again and again

Friendly service, fabulous food. Genuine Spanish ambience. Highly recommended.

I chose the duck, which was grossly undercooked, as were the limited amount of vegetables. There was a tablespoon sized portion of mash. I was very disappointed, and hungry after the meal which I had to eat as I was even more hungry when I ordered it. At £18 it is VERY overpriced!

Ate in restaurant 2 nights in a row and we weren't disappointed. Food was spectacular. The beef was best I've ever had, my thanks to the chef! The portions were very generous and the servers were so pleasant and nothing was too much trouble. I'd like to mention Lily our server on 2nd night who was particularly lovely and very helpful.

Lovely hotel, always stop there for lunch on our way to the lakes, staff have always been friendly and food always been good.
