Lovely warm accomodation & fabulous food.

The accommodation was spacious, warm and homely! It far exceeded my expectations. We loved having the 2 bathrooms. Being able to have a bath without my child.coming in to use the toilet was such a premium experience 🤣 The staff were lovely and food in the restaurant down stairs top notch. We ate there both nights and found the food to be the best we've enjoyed on the trip. Highly recommend to families and groups in the area. If you need a little unwind with great food on hand I highly suggest you book in here.

Perfect accommodation for a family

We had such a nice and relaxing 2-night stay at The Cross Keys. The flat was even better than on the pictures. It is modern, very comfortable, spotlessly clean and the owners are so kind and helpful. Some breakfast items were provided which was wonderful as we didn’t have time to do any shopping before arriving. We ate in the pub downstairs twice and the food was excellent and reasonably priced. The location was perfect for us, about 20 min drive from the Beamish museum and Kynren. Parking was very easy, just in front of the door. If we travel that way again, there is no doubt that we will book The Cross Keys again.

Excellent large, pristine apartment above the pub. Beautiful location between Durham and Beamish.

We arrived as the pub was open so collected the keys from there.

June Weekend Stay

We had a warm and comfortable stay and despite the accommodation being above the pub it was quiet and secure. The apartment has wonderful views, it is furnished very well and it has everything you need, including a generous welcome pack and toiletries. The Owners are very friendly and helpful.

The Internet was patchy but it wasn't a major issue for the duration of our stay.

Lovely apartment. Great pub with delicious food at good prices. Excellent hosts

The hosts were great. So welcoming. The accommodation was above a pub. There was everything we needed and mow. A few bits in the fridge and snacks too.

A shower in the second bathroom would have made it easier for 9 of us but that didn’t spoil it for us.

We brought breakfast but they had cereal juice , milk, bread etc. It was lovely. Everything which we wasn't expecting was there. Nice touches like the free biscuits. The hoist definitely went the extra mile. Even the pub staff where friendly and helpful, The digs was fantastic so much so we had provisionally booked for next year , If I could I would love to book it over Christmas. Its so refreshing to have a nice place and super hosts Thank Steve and co.

Graduation stay

Our stay was for daughters graduation, there were 6 adults and one child, staff told us on arrival that the boiler was broken and they were waiting on a part, this made the stay quite stressful as we had to bathe the 18 month old with water heated from the kettle, the adults took cold showers as one of them was very pregnant this was not ideal, the apartment was lovely except for this one area

Broken boiler, had to park car on Rd Saturday night early on, moved on to car park after pub had shut

Fabulous accommodation

The only word to describe this place is PERFECT! We had 7 adults and 2 young children stay in the immaculately clean apartment. We had an enormous surprise to find a welcome pack of fresh food there for us, bread, milk, croissants, scones, honestly loads of stuff! Cleaning products, shower products, spare bedding and fleecy blankets! Fabulous 👏 We also ate downstairs in the pub on the Friday and the Sunday. The staff couldn't be faulted and couldn't have been more welcoming, plus the homemade food was tremendous. It's easy to see why they are regularly fully booked.

Nothing at all to dislike

A fantastic place to stay.

Large, comfortable, very well kitted out and despite being over a pub/restaurant it was very quiet. The restaurant meals were excellent and reasonably priced. The 2 bathrooms were modern and the shower was brilliant. The kitchen had everything we needed and they left several things like bread, milk, scones and cereals.

The entrance staircase from the carpark was steep, narrow, creaky and we wondered what we'd see when we entered the flat, however it was wonderful. The telephone number on the booking details is incorrect and needs changing.

Fantastic place to stay for a week away.

Booked in here for work. Beautiful views of rolling hills and surrounding farmland. Very comfortable, modern renovation, with everything you could need for a week away. Fantastic staying above a pub - great beer on tap and delicious hearty food. V welcoming hosts. ~12 minutes drive from Durham, 30-60 minutes on public transport.

Lovely stay in a comfy apartment with friendly hosts

The apartment was beautiful and fully equipped. Photos do not do it justice. Ideally located in a quiet rural area just 10-15 minutes from downtown Durham. The hosts could not have been nicer and more accommodating. Our family of 7 adults plus an infant and a toddler were perfectly comfortable.

Since you’re above the pub, you do hear some noise until midnight. No loud music but plenty of people chatting outdoors. The windows are great but some noise does filter through so may not work for very light sleepers.

Outstanding accommodation and such a great welcome from the owners.

Beautiful apartment with an incredibly warm and friendly welcome. Very clean and tastefully fitted. Really appreciated the lovely starter pack in the kitchen and the food in the pub is just outstanding

A light at the top of the stairs, over the door to the apartment would have been helpful for seeing when unlocking and locking the door.

Brilliant - what a find.

Exceptionally clean. Very high quality of fitments, both in the living room (massive leather sofas), bathroom, shower room and kitchen. Very roomy. The apartment is over a village pub, the people behind the bar were very friendly and so were the customers in front of the bar. Good beer. Good food. I've stayed in places around the world, including the Barcelona Hilton, five star hotels in the far east and the Randolph in Oxford. I would sooner stay here than any of them. If anyone is visiting the UK and wants to get a flavour of genuine Northern hospitality, you could not do better than this place. And no, I'm not related to the landlord!
