Specious room with good amenities. Nice food. Only negative was the ensuite had no door only a curtain which was not very private

The room was amazing. The surf and turf in the restaurant was absolutely delicious.

Staff are super friendly so much so as to give me A lift to pick up hire car after my taxi didn’t show Great rooms and great food great staff Will stay again

Lovely location and really friendly staff

Good English breakfast and a continental option for those who don't like fried breakfast

Had a great time

Wedding stayover- great venue lovely staff Room 7 Holly was outstanding warm comfortable with every attention to detail - can't recommend enough

Lovely friendly accommodation next to the pub amenities but separate enough for the rooms to be tranquil and away

Very high standard, rooms brilliant Great food

Everything…all round great visit

We loved the room. The huge bath in particular being a highlight! Would definitely recommend this stay to others. We stayed here when visiting Beamish museum. It's hard to get much closer!

Stayed in thee Holly room and it was amazing

The room was beautifully decorated and very clean and comfortable. The tray with tea and coffee and bottled water and cookies was very welcome. We booked dinner and the steak pie was exceptional and the service was good. Breakfast was also very good and it was lovely to sit in the pretty conservatory. We are happy to recommend this hotel and definitely would return ourselves

My wife and I stayed at the Black Horse for a night as we were visiting Beamish Museum. Check in was easy and we were shown to our room by the lady on reception which was a nice touch. Almost immediately after settling into the room we noticed a persistent knocking noise which sounded like it was possibly the water pipes or heating system but it was really distracting and frankly annoying after a while. We ignored it as best we could but sadly it wasn’t easy to relax. There was a dead wasp by the bath, quite a lot of dust on the shower head which clearly hadn’t been cleaned properly in a while as well as toothpaste stains in the sink. The following morning at breakfast we ordered eggs Benedict and eggs and salmon on toast. Sadly they were lukewarm at best which was strange as there was barely anyone else in the restaurant so wasn’t overly busy. When we went to check out we handed our key back to one of the waitresses as reception wasn’t manned and wasn’t asked how our stay was, maybe only a small gripe but things like that go a long way. Sadly overall we felt a bit disappointed with our stay

Accommodation was excellent and staff were very helpful and attentive. Had dinner both nights we were there. First night - lovely meal, second night - terrible. Staff did offer compensation for meal. We would definitely return to this hotel.

Very convenient from which to visit Beamish Museum.

Friendly and efficient staff. Beautiful setting. Immaculate conditions. Delicious dinner and breakfast. Looking forward to coming again!

Fantastic stay, lovely food and wonderful staff. Perfect location for Beamish, rooms were very comfortable and well appointed. The only down side really was that the room was hot and was unable to reduce the temperature.

Beautiful setting, walked through the lavender bushes after a delicious Sunday roast. Room is amazing and the staff are so lovely. All made for a relaxing, overnight stay.

Excellent service, lovely room with a very comfortable bed. The food in the restaurant was fantastic and they are very helpful with dietary requirements
