We had a brilliant stay at the Aston Hotel. The staff were courteous and friendly and the we couldn't fault the service. Our room was comfortable, clean and spacious. We ate in the restaurant on the Friday evening - plenty of choice and a well-presented, tasty meal. Prices were a little high perhaps but certainly not overly expensive and the wine was realistically priced at £15 per bottle. You won't get stunning views here but the hotel is very handy for Durham and Beamish; both well-worth a visit. We would certainly recommend it and will definitely stay again.

We got a two night deal at the hotel and were very surprised what good value it was. On arrival at the hotel we were served toasted teacakes and coffee while we waited for our friends. We were checked in by a very friendly receptionist and were given a room upgrade as an extra surprise.The bedroom was very comfy and luxurious with all the facilities that we could need.Lunch served in the dining room consisted of hot soup and delicious sandwiches. The three course evening meal was equally delicious and came with a bottle of wine for each couple. We had two very comfortable nights sleep in a massive bed and two very good breakfasts. The staff were very helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. I would certainly recommend it as being excellent value for money and would love to stay there again in the future.

i have stayed at this hotel about 7 times, it has always exceeded the level of service I would expect for the price, much better accomodation and service than equivelant travel lodges or premier inns. The staff are brilliant. They really excelled last week when they had a disaster regarding the electricity and hot water. They called me and had already arranged to book me into another local hotel, arranging for a cheaper rate ( altho it was a more expensive hotel and reserving a table for dinner for me, I could not have asked for better service after a 10 hour drive. The ONLY negative point I have and its probably just me but I really hate having to pay an extra £2.50 for some mixed veg with a meal I've already paid £12 or £15 for.

I stay at this Hotel twice a year for 3 nights each visit and for the price and location I dont think it can be beaten.The rooms are spacious and clean, a massive bed, a fantastic power shower and the staff are very friendly and helpful.The restaurant is very good value and all the food is cooked fresh, I hate chips but they make the best handcut chips I have ever tasted !!!!!
