The best restaurants serving British food in Esh County Durham North East

Called last minute to ask for a room and revived a warm welcome.Heard lots of interesting stories about the pub and the area. Hosts efficient, helpful and friendly.Room very clean, and bed very comfortable. Breakfast- a simple but excellent selectionThank you for your hospitality and warm welcome.

Enjoyed a three night stay in one of the Old Colliery Stables, which is part of the Royal Oak pub next door. Accommodation was basic but clean and comfortable and offered very good value for money. Microwave, fridge and crockery provided if you want self catering but we took advantage of the very tasty food next door in the Royal Oak which was great value including the full English breakfast we booked in advance for just £5pp per day. Service very good, staff were very friendly and helpful.

Lovely food, friendly and efficient staff.
