Hotell nära Shildons järnvägsmuseum

“Great hotel with lots of activities for the kids. Gym was huge with lots of equipment and classes. We had a family suite which was huge with separate bedrooms for kids and adults. Only small let downs were the shower pressure being terrible, hotel was super hot even though it wasn’t a warm day, but the did provide us with fans. Breakfast had a great selection but gluten free options ran out quickly and weren’t replaced.”

“It was a very pleasant place to stay highly recommended.”

“We had a lovely 2 day break at the Park Head Hotel. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. Breakfast and dinner were delicious and top quality. Our dog, Tilly was well looked after too. Barnard castle and the surrounding area are beautiful with some great walks along the river.”

“Annex rooms are basic. Don't expect much in term of decor. It's a castle after all. It's good and cosy. But everything else outside the room is great. Quite, beautiful and relaxing landscape, which is worth much more than a modern comfy room. Staff is great.”

“Pleasant stay. Clean room. A not too loud alarm did disturb our sleep a little but it must have been nothing untoward? - fire regulations said to wait in bedroom until otherwise advised... fortunately no such advice was forthcoming!”

“Vill ni ha lugn och ro så är detta hotell perfekt. Trevlig personal och härligt spa och gym. Golfbanan ser fin ut.”

“Excellent ”

“The room was really warm even after adjusting the thermostat. Price of meals and drinks were fair. The staff great.”

“Comfy room, generous towels. Arrived late Friday evening, no bother getting a table in the pub downstairs for food- they don't take table reservations, so I wasn't at a disadvantage. Good wide choice on the menu and attentive service. There was a nightwatchman for after hours- what a treasure! He showed me how to access once the pub was closed, helped me empty the bags from the car and carried them to our room all with a friendly, nothing was too much trouble approach. A real asset to the Old...

“Simon the chef and his daughter are very friendly and helpful and provide an excellent breakfast. Julie the cleaning officer is a joy to meet and so thorough in her cleanliness techniques. All three of above are an asset to the hotel. David Ambleside ”

“Great hotel for the money. Room was better than a lot of Premier Inns these days. Very helpful staff. Would stay again. ”

“Bathrooms need a revamp. Looking outdated and tired”

“Clean, with very friendly staff”

“our stop was just a journey break on the way to London”

“Definitely not a 4 star property. It was decent but not great. It is the only place I've ever stayed where the wifi signal doesn't even reach the 2nd floor - we couldn't use it at all. The floor squeaked and creaked with every step. I understand that it's an older building but it wasn't ideal.”
