Stayed here after day at Beamish and before heading to Diggerland. Clean rooms. Bathroom ideal with door shutting over toilet to allow sink visits from younger family members. Breakfast was great - with plenty of choice and with up to 2 children eating free with 1 full breakfast is fantastic value. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Would stay here again.
Excellent Premier Inn. Really clean. Very comfortable beds. Exceptionally friendly, helpful staff team. Lovely breakfast cooked fresh to order. Highly recommend. Excellent location for visiting Beamish, Angel of the North, Metro Centre and Durham.
We stayed in the premier inn in Washington, nice place for the area as let us have easy access to sites and nearby attractions, great place to stay, smallest room i have ever stayed in at a premier inn but has the usual comfortable bed and all the bits you need foe a few days relaxing and having look around, staff are very nice here, very helpful and friendly.
"Not quite up to scratch"
We visited this Premier Inn to visit Beamish Open Air Museum (which is mind-blowingly wonderful). Whilst we can't fault the staff and the breakfast, and the location just off the A1(M), the room itself wasn't what we've come to expect from our favourite hotel chain. For a family room, it was rather cramped; we knew that there was going to be a shower room rather than a bath, but the weird schizoid door that was shared between the full shower room and the toilet, with a translucent screen between the loo and the shower, didn't inspire confidence in one's privacy, or tempt any of us to share both at the same time. The sink was a bit grubby, too, with not much in the way of shelves in the bathroom for soapbags, etc. We've been to loads of Premier Inns - this one, I'm afraid, we won't be returning to. Sorry guys!
