Oak Tree Inn

This was one of the loveliest places we have stayed, it is a really friendly place , staff and customers were all lovely and friendly thoroughly enjoyed it, bedroom was beautiful, no complaints at all , it was well worth the money , its facing a shop so if yoi need anything its open

Great accommodation in a lovely friendly pub with a good choice of beverages at a reasonable price, the locals made us very welcome. Susan is a wonderful host who did everything to make our stay a pleasant one. Highly recommend. Perfect location for visiting Beamish which is superb.

What a beautiful, unique, historical inn with amazing tasting pints of a variety of lagers and ales with lovely, welcoming staff to match. Stayed one night on route to completing coast to coast cycle and this lovely place did not disappoint. Great atmosphere with locals and guests alike and Sue who has just recently returned to work there again after being away was an absolute superstar one of nicest human beings I’ve ever met. Will without doubt be back with friends this time after visiting local beamish museum for the day. Anyone looking for an authentic experience of an age gone by with a pint in hand and great atmosphere then this is the place. Believe me you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Sue and all the staff who made this one evening a very very unexpected enjoyable experience. Yous are a credit to the industry and a nod to better days that seem long ago in these times we find ourselves living in. See you again soon. Mark

What a find! This stunning place started out as a manor house in the 1600s (we asked!) and has retained its charm. We had a fabulous room/studio in what had been the old stable block. It was immaculately done out, spacious and comfortable. Comfy bed, lovely sitting room area, bathroom with toiletries, hospitality tray! Couldn't ask for more! Freshly cooked breakfast, veggie for me, full English for t'other 'alf, topped off a perfect stay. Such friendly hosts, too! We'll definitely be back!

A lovely stay. Stayed with friends as we were attending a wedding in the local area. Staff were very friendly, beautiful building, that’s been done up to a very high standard. We had the breakfast well worth getting, all lovely and fresh, cooked to perfection! Overall a great stay, we would all definitely return again.

Good point - room was cosy Bad points - bin liner being used as black out blind!! Condition of paintwork especially skirting Condition of walls Cold shower, went from chilly to baltic and back to chilly No soap/hand wash at sink Breakfast was greasy and tasteless and included tinned tomato No remote for TV so had to use torch to see the tiny buttons underneath to change channel/volume. None of this was anything like all the positive reviews I had seen before booking. Clearly none of thos positive reviews stayed in the room I was in!!

Stayed for one night as I was up on business in Consett, easy check in but it did feel a bit like the slaughtered lamb from American Werewolf as I walked in with the locals staring at me. Room was spacious, clean and with everything I needed. The reason I chose the oak tree was because it stated it done food and breakfast. They have now stopped food as I was told so had to order a pizza in which wasn’t ideal and breakfast was served from 8.30 which was too late as I had to be at my conference by 9.00. But apart from that it was ok for the price

We had a very pleasant night. We were friendly greatest, the room was cosy and better than in the pictures. The breakfast, at an extra cost, was good. We had our dog with us, and she was also warm welcomed.

This is an excellent place to stay the rooms are very comfortable and very clean the breakfast is fabulous and the welcome is great by the lovely couple who run the pub will definately return in the near future
