A very pleasant stay

Beamish Mary Inn was built in the 19th. century to serve the needs of the quaintly named industrial village of No Place. It seems still to be the village's social focal point with occasional entertainment provided. Once on the main Stanley to Chester-le-Street road the village is now by-passed and quiet but retains a good bus service. It is about a half mile from Beamish open-air museum. One of the two bars has an open fire, the other a cast iron stove. There is a good menu and local real ale available. The proprietor, staff and locals were all very friendly. Our room was a family room with two double beds. It was quite spacious and had a very well constructed and spotless en-suite. We also noticed new double glazing. Light eaters should make this clear at breakfast. The proprietor very kindly gave us each an extra egg when we asked for no sausages! Anything that Beamish Mary lacks in rural charm is more than compensated for by the warm welcome and value for money.

The landlord greets you with a question as soon as you arrive... "Do you want to see your room before you pay"? I guess the answer should have been yes, but after a long trip you are just glad to have arrived. As much as they want to keep the pub as a shrine to times gone by, surely they could make an effort to bring the rooms up to a more modern standard. The view from our window was of a rear yard with a less than inviting seating area for smokers to use. The food is home made and flavoursome, but prices as a restaurant not a pub.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property, thanks to its bright and elegant rooms and the owner’s exceptional hospitality. The room was comfortable and tastefully decorated, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere. The owner made a commendable effort to ensure our stay was enjoyable. His friendliness and the excellent homemade food, including fresh bread, added a personal touch to our experience. The breakfast, with its delightful homemade offerings, was a highlight, setting a positive tone for the day. The property’s location is also a plus, being conveniently close to the Beamish Museum. This allowed us easy access to one of the area’s notable attractions without any hassle. Additionally, the stay was very reasonably priced, offering great value for the comfort and amenities provided. For travelers seeking an affordable, spacious, and welcoming place near the Beamish Museum, we highly recommend this property.

It is a very old property so anyone expecting a 5* look elsewhere. This inn has cracks in the odd wall and the carpets and furniture are not new but everything is so clean, homely and friendly. The food is all home cooked and so tasty. The staff are so helpful and nothing is too much trouble. We would use this inn again in the future.
