Food in the restaurant is always lovely. But I regularly use it for Bar Meals. Reasonably priced, but made fresh and piping hot on delivery. Food always excellent and Craig Manager and Chris Chef cant do enough for you. Very nice friendly family atmosphere, definitely better than its sister hotel Ramside! I have attended weddings, christenings, Sunday lunches, themed evenings,... More

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. It wasn't cheap so we were hoping for something special, but the food was average and the service very poor. We waited for lengthy periods to be served,... More

Luckily we had our sat nav as this hotel would be pretty hard to find otherwise as it is in the middle of housing estate! staff were friendly enough and attentive and would do anything for you! found it to be a very old and dated hotel a bit on the shabby side rooms basic and old fashioned wallpaper peeling...

We have had Sunday lunch here a few times and always enjoyed it. We decided to have Christmas lunch here and stay the night. Our room was on the top floor not amazing but ample. 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...
