Only stayed for 1 night after a trip to Beamish Living Museum. Hotel was ok but food (dinner) wasn't nice at all. I got the steak and ale pie and the pastry was rock hard, couldn't get a normal knife through it. I must say, the food was piping hot which was great though. Told the waitress, and all she said was, ok, i'll tell the chef. Breakfast again was piping hot and delicious. Overall, we probably wouldn't stay again
