Clow Beck House

If we were able to visit regularly, we would not write a review - because we would want to keep Clow Beck House secret. Yes it's that good! You get a friendly welcome from Heather and the B & B rooms are almost suites - as you get a generously sized room with a sofa and an en-suite bathroom but also what is effectively a small dressing room. The dining room - a really attractive space - is organised for 'social distancing'. There is an extensive menu for breakfast and in an evening, if nothing on the menu suits, David will rustle up alternatives. Anything that you choose is excellent and should you wish there is a good choice of beers, spirits and wines. The garden at the property is lovely - with quirky features and if you want to venture towards the river or the village there are pleasant, level walks. If you are not familiar with the area, Heather can advise on places of interest. Although at first glance the prices might seem high for a B & B; you are staying at what amounts to a very quietly situated small boutique hotel, with lovely grounds and with facilities as good, if not better, than establishments using that description. Oh - nearly forgot - the parking area is conveniently adjacent to the B & B rooms).

Clow Beck House is a top-grade hotel/B&B (5 bedrooms) in a converted manor house on the edge of a quiet village near Darlington. We stayed one night in September 2021. It was already dark when we arrived late in the evening. Heather welcomed us warmly and helped us with our bags. Our room was a good size with sofa, comfortable bed, well-lit dressing room and large bathroom. Bedrooms are off an external walkway - fine on warm days/evenings, but maybe not so good when it’s cold/raining. There had been a problem with the electricity, but there was still a full a la carte menu and no problem with bringing our choices to our room. Very good breakfast the next morning - all was just as it should be. Although we only stayed one night, we have no hesitation in recommending Clow Beck House. David and Heather's welcome and attention to guests is exceptional.

As described by others, it's a hidden gem. Lovely quiet location,but easy to reach local attractions, good sized rooms with everything you need, fabulous food and welcoming and helpful hosts for which nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommended.

Very generous hosts, stunning grounds, nothing was too much, a true 5* experience, food was excellent and Heather and David go above and beyond to ensure you are catered for, looking forward to returning here with friends

Fantastic hospitality & lovely hosts Stayed here midweek with 2 other couples. The owners could not have done anymore to make us feel at home. The food was 5 Star - highly recommended; the accommodation well set out, spotlessly clean and lovely location. Would go back there in an instant. Well done guys and thank you
