    A large room in The Old Post Office in a very nice village. with all local facilities. Ideal for our visit to Beamish which was only a 10 minute drive away.

    The only downside was parking, but we always found a space after a short time.

    Convenient and walkable to restaurants and pubs

    Parking could be an issue but not in our case
