The hosts were excellent, very friendly and helpful. The property was beautiful, full of character and decorated to a very high standard. Our room was spacious and had lovely views over the gardens and countryside. The bed was very comfortable and both the room and the public areas were extremely clean. The food we had at dinner and for breakfast was delicious. There were several options available in addition to a full English breakfast although we didn't try them on this occasion. We loved the little fridge on the landing with bottles of water and fresh milk for our use. Each room had their own named bottle of milk which was a lovely touch. We highly recommend Westgate Manor as we were very impressed with all aspects of our stay.

The whole experience was fantastic from start to finish, we were sorry to have to leave really. All the staff were amazing, so welcoming, and nothing was ever too much trouble, super helpful. We were made to feel like we were special guests at all times.
We ate there for breakfast on both days, excellent quality food, and cooked to perfection. We ate in the bar area on our first afternoon, again, brilliant service and quality of food. Sunday lunch was by far the best, a truly traditional, and fantastically cooked and presented meal, well worth every penny.
Spend both evenings sat in the bar, and /or outside, great choice of drinks on offer, really enjoyed the ale on draft.
We enjoyed our stay so much that we have just booked again for a long weekend in November.

Centre of Upper Weardale, a town with character in the shadow of old limestone quarries, lead mining and continuing sheep farming. Well placed for Barnard Castle and Teesdale, Durham City and not far from the Yorkshire Dales and Cumbria's Lake District.
Walk from St John's Chapel to Wearhead by the river then back on the valley high road to the north parallel to the river. Or investigate Slits Wood a beautiful river walk past waterfalls to an old lead mining site. Cranesbill in May, holly and hawthorn berries in the winter.

We traveled for the train to Christmas town at Weardale railway with our Grandkids. This cottage was plenty big enough for us all to enjoy and the location to the train station couldn't have been better. Two days in Beamish museum was fab aswell.

Bit if an eyeopener.
Bit if an eyeopener. We have lived in villages from Yorkshire to the Scottish Highlands but Stanhope was a revelation ; all kinds of shops selling all sorts of produce. We strolled along the High Street ( Front Street ? ) on the morning of our departure, stopping to look at the butcher's shop, the fruit and vegetable shop, the shoe shop ( honest ! ) etc. Absolutely delightful and the locals so friendly. We had our dog in tow and all the pubs were dog friendly.
It even boasts its own castle.
