Found the pub purely by accident tonight and the wife and I had cheeseburger/bacon cheeseburger. Probably THE best burger I've ever had! Also had a portion of home made chips between us and they were fabulous! Bar staff were lovely and friendly and although a real ale drinker my pint of John Smith's Magnet was thoroughly enjoyable. Gem of a pub and will definitely be back ( if only for that fabulous baconburger!!).
Our Katie and I have visited for the first time today and can't wait to visit again. The food was piping hot and delicious. We had the steak pie and New York Cajun chicken with cheese and bacon both served with home made chips. The portions are man size but we still had a dessert. Jam sponge and Sticky toffee pudding. Perfect! The staff were very pleasant and we highly recommend. If you want excellent homecooked food at a great price served in a clean environment by friendly welcoming staff, this is the place to go. Thank you
Had our tea there this evening,steak pie was the best I've ever had,delicious,chips were perfect!my partners burger was huge & tasty!£13 for 2 large meals,came out stuffed!excellent overall!!!

Wounderful. Food. Staff. Great wine and beers. Cheers Saxon for 2016. I no the high standards as always stay high. I will be back lots of times in 2017.
Used for a two night stay to explore the beautiful area nearby. This is a very nice pub/hotel in a quiet location with the friendly staff demonstrating warm hospitality. Room was very comfortable, clean and with good facilities. Good food, especially the breakfast which was freshly cooked. Choice of beers was OK and so were the wines; conniesors may want wider choices but I'd ask them to consider the price of stay and location.
a great place the food is lovely and the service is the best never been in a room so expecting its good. lovely eary with very nice people about
Lovely area with nice walks of the river and huge lake lots of wildlife.
Standard room had every facility needed.
Bed comfy but was just a normal double size could have done with at least a king size. Nice quiet area. Staff friendly and helpful. Large portions For meals if eating in the huge restaurant.
Whole pub/rooms were extremely clean and looked freshly decorated. Would definitely stay again if we were in the area but probably ask for a larger bed next
Time.
Quiet location opposite a lovely saxon church. Rooms were spacious, modern clean and well appointed. Really central for visiting places of interest in County Durham.
We had a problem with our door lock and within a few minutes it was fixed. Breakfast was ordered the night before selecting from a menu sheet and selecting the time you would like to eat. Next morning in the sunny Breakfast room you had a warm welcome from Shaun and your hot beverages and hot food and drinks were bought to your table for the time you selected. A good assortment of cereals, juices, spreads, yoghurts and fruit also available as you entered.
We also had an evening meal which was lovely.
Thanks to Claire the Manager, Julie and Shaun for a great stay! All the other staff were great also but didn't get there names.
Great location for visiting Beamish, Durham, and Kynren. Comfortable, modern clean rooms with better quality furniture and facilities compared to most hotels of the same price. Staff are fantastic and Vicky was great! Had a great evening meal. Breakfast has plenty of choice ordered the night before. Has on-site parking.
Stayed here for 1 night . Food was excellent and the room was spotless and comfortable. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Would highly recommend and stay again .
The Saxon Inn is set in a lovely quiet location. It is perfectly situated to visited lots of places of interest. The staff are lovely, so helpful and friendly. The rooms are beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean. It is really great value for money as well. I would highly recommend The Saxon Inn.
Absolutely amazing stay the staff are lovely and always chatty and nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was superb the chefs are incredible we decided to eat in every evening because it was so good. The rooms are lovely and clean and quiet we had a lovely nights sleep.

Had a wonderful stay, room was wonderful with lots of lovely little touches. Staff were so nice and helpful and the breakfast kept us going for lots of cycling. Nice short walk down to the river. Would highly recommend
We stayed here as a stop over on our way to Scotland, we were allocated room 9, this had everything we could possibly need and more, the room was clean and modern, we had a great night sleep, it was very quiet and great value for money.

6 of us went to the Saxon Inn for Christmas dinner yesterday, the Saxon is a lovely hotel/inn, the atmosphere and ambience were lovely, starters were divine, main meal was tasty and veggies were cooked to our liking, and the desserts went down a treat. This inn have nice clientele and welcoming staff, the staff all worked extremely hard yesterday, we enjoyed it so much that we have come back today for our dinners, why cook when there’s affordable tasty food on your doorstep? Thank you everyone at the Saxon for making our Christmas Day xx
