Easy checkin. Excellent position. Room was clean with soft bed and great bathroom. 2 flights of stairs to get to room but they are easy to negotiate. Nice and quiet and is based above a well known restaurant with excellent food and service. Great stay and value for money.

We had a lovely overnight stay at the Old Mill. The restaurant food was delicious and the staff very pleasant .However the radiator in our room leaked badly so the carpet was soaked. This was obviously a known fault as there was a beaker propped against the radiator pipe .There was also only 2 sockets in the room. I had to unplug the lamp to use the hairdryer and charge my phone in socket on floor by the door.

Amazing value for money
Amazing value for money in an old inn that has been upgraded sympathetically. Service was great and friendly and the pub style food was excellent. Highly recommended.

A very convenient and pleasant place to stay whilst visiting family. Our room was a bit on the small side but no problem for just a couple of nights stay, ditto the bathroom which could have done with a shelf for personal toiletries etc., which had to be left in the room which was a small inconvenience. The staff we dealt with were all very pleasant, cheerful and helpful. Also breakfast was delicious. As we were visiting family we didn't have any other meals here so can't comment on the food.

I booked 4 rooms, for a friends visit to see the Kynren, location was perfect, easy parking and just a short drive to Bishop Auckland. Staff and service was excellent, very friendly and helpful, we got access to our rooms much earlier than expected. Rooms large and comfortable, great shower plenty of hot water. Food was superb, great choice large portions, all in all just perfect. Just a point of note, the stairs to the second are a little steep and no lift, so maybe ask for first floor rooms if you struggle with stairs.
