The Experience
The building dates to 1733 and stands on the village green next to a Saxon church. Roses ramble across stone walls at the front, so grab a pint of local ale, then sit in the sun and watch life pass by. Inside, you can roast away in front of a fire in the wonderfully old-school bar while reading the Teesdale Mercury.
There’s a peaceful sitting room for afternoon tea, then an oak-panelled restaurant for excellent food produced by head chef Dave Hunter, using produce from the inn’s kitchen yard and just about everything else from local suppliers. The well-put-together menu includes fish from Hartlepool quay, trout and game from local estates. Stylish rooms – some in the main house, others out back, a couple in a cottage next door – have warm colours, comfy beds, Bose sound systems and super bathrooms
You’re near to fabulous Barnard Castle for browsing the antique shops or the moors for cobweb-blowing hikes.

Romaldkirk sits peacefully in what has been called 'England's Last Wilderness' and you're close to the route of the Pennine Way. A few miles away is Grassholme Observatory for stargazing; you can fish in local reservoirs or the river Tees for trout and grayling. Visit High Force Waterfall, painted by Turner, or the Bowes Museum in Barnard Castle, six miles.

Introducing
Thomas & Cheryl Robinson
The inn has been owned by the Robinson family, who have farmed in Teesdale for four generations, since 2012. They also own and run Headlam Hall Hotel 15 miles away. Thomas generally spends his time at the Hall while wife Cheryl oversees day-to-day operations at the inn. You are very well looked after.
Have stayed at the R&C many times. All of the rooms are furnished and decorated to a high standard. The housekeeping is excellent. All of the staff are kind, friendly and helpfull. The food served in both bar and restaurant is of faultless quality, good choices on bar and restaurant menus. The comfortable bar, overlooking the village green is a very relaxing place in which to enjoy good food and a drink. More formal dining in the oak panelled dining room is candle lit and romantic. Very dog friendly, lots of good walks locally.
