Burnhopeside Hall

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!

I stayed for one night with my dog and Christine was an absolutely amazing host . Nothing is too much trouble for her and that also goes for all the staff Bed and pillows were wonderful and comfortable . Everywhere was spotlessly clean . Breakfast was delicious and lots of choice The grounds were beautiful and myself and Willow loved the space and of course Christine's 2 spaniels . I will definitely be staying again and already planning a trip there next summer with my son and grandson from Japan . Best stay and well recommend .

From the moment we were greeted upon our arrival by Christine (and her beautiful dogs Barney and Spencer) it was clear this was going to be a special stay. We were given clear and concise information regarding the property and our room, as well as being offered a delightful and much needed pot of tea and biscuits which were taken in the glorious living room with magnificent views across the lawns. We felt as if we'd been invited on a country house weekend with all the luxury, peace and tranquility that entails. The room was spacious, the furniture and fittings superb and the bed extremely comfortable. Flasks of milk, a variety of teas and coffees, a selection of biscuits and even a coffee machine added to the comfort of the room. The property is set within many acres of land and on the first morning Barney and Spencer took us on a tour of the grounds which included woodland walks, a visit to the piggery and a lot of tennis ball and stick throwing! Breakfast was excellent with a selection of delicious fresh summer fruits, cereals, yoghurts, fruit juice and toast, together with a wide selection of cooked options including home reared pork sausages and bacon, smoked salmon, together with eggs of your choice. Added enjoyable features were a full sized snooker table, fascinating conversations with other guests over breakfast at a large communal table and a wide variety of bird species in the immedaite environs. Thank you Christine and your family for a delightful stay. We will certainly be back!

This is like a Stately Home set in its own grounds/wooded area. A beautiful building where you could easily film a period drama. The staff were great, very polite and helpful. The rooms were very comfortable with everything we needed. Breakfast was superb and made exactly how we liked it. Great place to take our dog with lots of walks. Free and easy parking for the car. Very quiet at night so sleep was excellent. Superb location for travelling around Durham.

This is such a lovely place to stay - peaceful with nice grounds and very dog friendly. The host is very welcoming and the rooms very comfortable. Breakfast is exceptionally good with lots of choice and the sausages and bacon coming from the estate itself.
