What a gem of a find, unfined real ale which is spot on, pizzas with an indian twist, surrounding is awesome...sat in the bar, or with the brew in mash tuns, boilers and fermentation tanks, alternatively you have the yurt to snuggle into with your ale. Utterly awesome.

Went to a session today with my 3 year old son. He had a wonderful time making pizza rolls and gingerbread men, which he also decorated. Everything clean and well organised. Can’t wait for the next one.

Small independent micro-brewery just outside Durham. Brewing cask, keg and bottle-conditioned beer. Shop and taproom on site. Tours most Saturdays must be booked in advance.

Excellent beer, delightful staff, hilarious and informative brewery tours, and a pleasantly off-beat place to settle down for a reflective pint or two. And a chat. And maybe a bottle of something unusual for later. Can't recommend it highly enough. :-)
10. The Bay Horse Wolsingham

Reviewed By chrisstevenson83 - Sedgefield, United Kingdom
Situated in the village of Wolsingham, the Bay Horse Hotel is a converted 19th century farmhouse. The bar is stunning, warm, comfortable, and inviting. The restaurant is small and quaint, giving the option of an intimate diner for two, or as a party. The rooms are pleasantly decorated and en suite. However, there are a lot of stairs so would not be suitable to some. We spent four nights here, and it felt like family. Staying in room two, we had access to the front balcony. The views from this are great. Taking in a beck, bridge, stone cottages and rolling hillsides, it is an ideal place to while away a few hours with a nice glass of wine. Our hosts, Amanda and Rob, were amazing. Friendly and welcoming, they made us feel at home. As we were the only guests mid-week, they allowed us a good lie-in and made breakfast when we went down, rather than a strict timetable. They had great local knowledge on good walks, attractions and events. They could not do enough for us, even offering a fleece blanket so we could enjoy the balcony one cooler evening. Bed and Breakfast starts at around £50; meals are around £10. A well-stocked bar has a wide variety of drinks, beer and such is from Cameron’s Brewery. The Bay Horse is perfect for a drink, meal or short stay. For walkers, it’s ideally sited for access to Weardale. With only a short stroll to the high street, it’s a great place to forget it all, relax, and enjoy some fresh air.
