We visited Kynren for the day and decided to stay over before our trip home to Yorkshire the next day. Had a lovely overnight stay at The Saxon Inn. The evening meal was excellent with big portions, the pizza was lovely too. We stayed in the triple room with a king size and a single bed. It’s a really spacious room with comfortable beds. Very hospitable staff. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Our room was very nice. Has a nice bar and great breakfast. Dinners simple but fine. Good pricing. Staff excellent, friendly and offered extra tea and coffee after breakfast. So good we stayed an extra night. The downstairs public rooms (four) are spacious but not particularly smart. But great value and we felt at home.

Quaint location in an historical building. Some uneven floorboards and doors would get stuck, but that’s to be expected ina building several hundred years old.

Hotel was very good, but a little out in the sticks. The food was typical pub grub, but well cooked on the premises. No other pubs, shops or restaurants in the village and there are very few restaurants in the nearest town Bishop Auckland.

Good breakfast cooked fresh every morning. Evening meals were generous though most with chips so would be nice to have with mash or new spuds instead. Staff always polite, helpful & friendly. Our king room (number 4) over looked the church & had a double aspect so was light & bright. Bathroom was a squeeze in the sink area & the shower door needs attention as very noisy when moved. We would stay again if in the area.

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!

We need to stay near Bishop Aukland and this came up on Hotels.com. The locals we were meeting knew of it and said it was good and it really was. Lovely pub. Very friendly. Great service. Awesome food. Very accommodating as we turned up a bit late but they still did food for us. Would recommend and stay again.

Really good home cooked food at a good price too but hotel side of the pub was a little expensive considering breakfast wasnt included but it was comfortable and clean and nice for me personally to have memory foam pillows instead of feather filled ones.

Our room was beautiful. It had a king size bed and the en-suite bathroom was a good size. The only downside was that the toilet flush handle was broken but still worked. It could have done with better lighting in the bathroom as you couldn’t see in the mirror very well. The room was immaculately clean and had a sofa and tv with easy to connect to WiFi. Personally I struggled with comfort of the bed as I found it too soft but it was dressed with clean sheets and had extra pillows in the wardrobe. The food in the evening was very tasty, with very generous portions and the breakfast which you could order the night before was plentiful and generous portions of the full English which was served fresh. The only criticism of this was that the toast was not warm. Overall a lovely stay and would recommend it.
