Although I was the only resident at the hotel that night I was well catered for. I was disappointed the restaurant was closed but it must have been a quiet night. My breakfast was prepared and left for me and entry instructions to the hotel.

Lovely clean room and very comfy bed. Plenty tea and coffee in the room and towels. We were in room 2 which has its own decking terrace.
The main car park is at the back of the hotel and there are a couple of spaces at the front too but both sides have very close access.
We had the full English breakfast both mornings which is not included in the booking price but worth every penny. It really set us up for the day.
We're just home after a two night stay and have already booked again for our next visit.
I would definitely recommend The Moorings.

A little hidden gem
We had a pleasant stay and the staff were very friendly. Our only issue was we found it cold although the heating was on in the room. We would come back and definitely recommend this little hotel.

An exceptionally welcoming place
We stayed while visiting the Beamish museum. The rooms are similar in quality to those in chain hotels but what makes it special is that it is family owned and run and their attention to their guests is outstanding. I cannot speak too highly of Lesley with whom we had most contact during our stay. The food in their restaurant is of decent quality and generous to a fault, a similar comment applying to their breakfasts. If you want somewhere welcoming and reasonably priced while visiting Beamish look to further.

Lovely stay.
We stayed one night. Excellent value for money. Rooms clean and tidy and very quiet when we stayed.
Just one niggle was when checking in the lady mentioned it was an extra £5 each for a cooked breakfast, however this wasn’t stated on booking. I did mention and showed the confirmation email. She checked with another staff member and said it was fine and was included in the price. The cooked breakfast in the morning was excellent and couldn’t do enough for us. The lady serving the breakfast was very welcoming and friendly. Thank you.

They gave us a very warm welcome and even though it was quite late, cooked us a good meal as soon as we arrived. The room and en-suite were very spacious and the bed comfortable. We really enjoyed the quietness there.
