Chose this hotel on late rooms and what a find. Be aware that booking in is after 5.30pm as the pub is closed until then. Don't be put off though Chris works so hard and such long hours! He needs his sleep. Food is delicious and portions are huge but the prices are small.It was our first visit but it... More

Great Sunday lunch at The Bay Horse. Even when the restaurant is full we still get excellent service from Monica and the team. We travel from Stockton-on-Tees on a regular basis because we like the choice of food, which also very good value for money. The atmosphere is great on Sundays. I would really recommend 'The Bay Horse' in Rainton... More

Nearly all the reviews about the Bay Horse are complimentary and this one is no different. A party of 4 stayed for 3 nights early December and everything about the room, food and owners was wonderful - no complaints. I would have no hesitation in booking again and would deffinately recommend it.

By far one of the nicest,friendliest places I have stayed at in the uk, we travel extensively will our work and visit many hotels, very few come close to the warmth of this little gem. Chris and Bev certainly know how to make you feel at home, with great food and drink,

Food was very good, well prepared and presented. The bedroom was clean and comfortable. The landlord and all staff made us feel very welcome and there was a really warm, friendly, country English pub atmosphere. We would like to stay there again when we next visit the area. Good value for money.
