Burnhopeside Hall

Our second stay, this time with Americans, and they were as enchanted as we are. The lovely proportions of the house, the country manor ambience, the enthusiastic dogs you can take for a walk to see the happy piggies who contribute to your breakfast. Tea on arrival, fresh milk in thermos in the rooms as well, very informative farming journals (I want that tractor!), good books. The breakfast table is shared, so you can talk to other real humans for interesting conversations.

Goodness, what an incredibly delightful.experience at Burnhopeside Hall. Absolutely nothing we could fault. Thank you ,Christine for letting us into your wonderful home. Pure luxury and everything of the most high quality.. A huge bedroom really more a suite, and so beautifully furnished. A country house full of wonders and a billiard room too! . Nothing was any trouble and the wonderful cooked breakfast was made to order plus ahuge choice of fruits, cereals ,yogurt was fantastic served in beautiful Regency dining rooms. Cannot praise Christine , her son James and Burnhopeside Hall enough, wonderful.

A wonderful stay with Christine making you feel right at home. It’s not a bnb as such, more a historic country home where you have the pleasure of staying at. A comfortable big bed and cosy room. Loved walking the two friendly spaniels (Spencer and Barney) to go and say hello to the piggies before breakfast!

It was a pleasure to stay at Burnhopeside Hall, a historic family home, where the owner Christine, welcomes you to enjoy while you stay. The large bedroom , comfortable large bed and bathroom (including deep bath) were first class, as was the full English breakfast, fruit and cereals and access to sitting rooms and the gardens around the home. We enjoyed walking to the river with resident dogs Spencer and Barney and made the most of the park and ride to visit Durham.

A wonderful stay at a huge manor house, exceeded our expectations. Burnhopeside had everything we needed and more for our visit to Durham and Newcastle. Spencer the spaniel greeted us on arrival and offered plenty of cuddles and attention throughout our stay. The breakfast was fantastic, a home made feast served at any time we wanted and included fresh berries, yoghurt, cooked breakfast, toast, jams, cereals and teas. The room and bathroom had copious amounts of space and the super king size bed was unbelievably comfortable. We even spotted a kingfisher whilst exploring some of the 500 acres of grounds with our dog. Christine was so kind and hospitable we would highly recommend staying here.
