Stanhope Old Hall
A Grade II* listed manor house in Weardale, with medieval origins said to go back to 1139.
Three rooms, a panelled lounge, a dining room and an open fire.
Stanhope Old Hall is a Grade II* listed manor house of medieval origin. A house has stood here since the twelfth century, traditionally dated to 1139. It is said to have been a hunting lodge for the Bishops of Durham, and was rebuilt in the 16th and 17th centuries. It sits right on the coast-to-coast cycle route, a welcome place for weary cyclists to rest and unwind. Inside there is oak panelling, a great stone fireplace, and a kitchen where everything is made from scratch.
Stay the night, come for afternoon tea by the fire, or sit down to Sunday lunch. We only ever seat sixteen, so every plate that leaves the kitchen gets the time it deserves.

The kitchen
Our chef trained and worked in professional kitchens for years before this, and cooks the way she was taught: stocks made, bread baked, nothing bought in that can be made here. The menus change with what the dale and the coast are giving us, which is why they are written weekly rather than printed.
