Rose & Crown

Cheryl and Thomas Robinson have managed to inject high standards of hospitality and service while maintaining the essence of an informal village inn. There is a rustic charm about the place, the menu is as rooted in the environment as the pub itself, with a genuine local flavour, and characterful rooms combine period detail and contemporary style. A Teesdale treasure in an idyllic village.

Truly outstanding dinner, skate boned and wrapped, tomato salad with 3 different types of tomato, olives, pine nuts, huge fish platter excellent local cheeses, lemon posset with raspberry sorbet, and a very fine Muscadet. Service excellent.

Another enjoyable stay here, it just gets better and better. There's always a warm welcome from the wonderful staff. Excellent food served in both the cosy bar and the elegant restaurant. Superior furnishings and decor throughout the hotel. Very dog friendly with free treats provided in room and on the bar, lots of nice walks from the doorstep.

Have stayed here on several occasions with my sister Daisy and my mum & dad, it is the most dog friendly hotel we have ever stayed in. We are allowed in the very comfortable bar where we sit under the table and eat the excellent treats provided by the owner, oh by the way my name is Gilbert and I am a nine year old westie. My dad, Kevin particularly likes the relaxed friendly atmosphere in the bar at lunch time. In the evening my mum, Marilyn likes nothing better than putting on a posh dress for fine dining in the romantic oak panelled dining room. We all love the R&C to bits.

On a cool August day we received the warmest of welcomes at this beautiful and comfortable inn. It’s several years since we had enjoyed a stay here and we were once again charmed by beautiful rooms, delicious food and great service. We are planning another trip for this year. It’s an oasis of calm in a troubled world!

Have stayed at the R&C many times. All of the rooms are furnished and decorated to a high standard. The housekeeping is excellent. All of the staff are kind, friendly and helpfull. The food served in both bar and restaurant is of faultless quality, good choices on bar and restaurant menus. The comfortable bar, overlooking the village green is a very relaxing place in which to enjoy good food and a drink. More formal dining in the oak panelled dining room is candle lit and romantic. Very dog friendly, lots of good walks locally.
