Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the Beresford Arms. The rooms looked lovely and are located at the rear of the property in a converted barn, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. While slightly disorganized, my bedroom was very comfortable. The dinner was lovely, enhancing my overall experience.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms that are well-appointed, very comfortable, and accompanied by friendly staff and fabulous food. However, the continental breakfast may not meet everyone's expectations. The location is set in a quiet village a short drive from Newcastle, ideal for exploring attractions. The dining experience is good, featuring local produce, but could be improved. The service is welcoming and efficient, offering a clean and tidy environment throughout.
I had a fantastic stay at the Beresford Arms. The rooms were brilliant, ideal for what I wanted, located at the back of the building away from the busy bar, ensuring a quiet and peaceful stay. The service was top-notch, with lovely staff who were accommodating and friendly. The location in the quiet village of Whalton was perfect, allowing easy access to various attractions. The dining experience was delightful, and the facilities met all my needs perfectly.
