This was our second visit, and it didn’t fail to impress. On this occasion we stayed over Christmas, and the hotel was decorated fabulously. We had a castle feature room which was lovely. We also ate in the restaurant for dinner, which again was excellent. Breakfast was also very good. The staff ...

The location is absolutely great! near everywhere. The room is noisy because it may face to the main street. a little bit dusty. but overall is still comfort to stay. I used self check-in & check-out , except from breakfast time, I did not contact any staff during stay.

Great breakfast selection , staff friendly and attentive . Only 1 lift ( out of 2) was working but didn’t have too long to wait . Ideal location for St James’s Park. Car park was busy but you expect that , waiting for someone to come out before barrier was lifted . Would book here again .

We were visiting the Beamish museum and the whole area was good. People very friendly.
Quiet northern village.
A trip to The Emirates Riverside to watch the cricket, and we had 2 great nights at the Moorings. Lovely friendly staff, great meals and drinks , very comfy bed, and room. Special mention to Ron,s Taxi, who took us to and back from the cricket.
Food while been excellent didn’t have a great choice
The only down to this and it would have been the same anywhere, as unfortunately some other residents found it acceptable to be shouting and swearing till midnight , this is the only reason I didn’t give the whole stay an amazing response
