The location is a bit strange, housing estates have grown up around it, but close to A1 & Durham. I have been here several times to eat previously, but never stayed before. It offers excellent value for money, the atmosphere is good & it is clearly well frequented by the locals for food.Yes as one other reviewer said it is... More

We went for a meal only - we didn't stay at the hotel. The food was OK - "pub grub" rather than restaurant standard. The chips (which seemed to accompany most meals) were a little greasy and appeared to be the standard "frozen" type, rather than the thick, handcut ones. The vegetables were mostly peas... The staff were very friendly... More

Have visited Bowburn Hall on previous occasions for family celebrations, and have enjoyed it, but we were very disappointed by the standard of service in the restaurant on Mothers Day this year.

Christmas lunch was excellent we didn't feel rushed and the food was very very nice. What makes this hotel are the staff who are polite,... More

We stayed here for my best friends wedding. This went off with only some small hitches, really well organised. The food in the hotel was really first class, although if you want breakfast get there early as when it's gone and if there are lots staying you may have to wait for them to wash up some clean cups for...

The room is excellently priced and of a high standard, very clean and well equiped. The food is fabulous and well priced and some of the... More
