Can any of you guys recommend a reasonable place to stay in the consent area of Durham for a night ?

I have a couple of large jobs in that area and need to stop the night,
 
Apparently you have a royal visitor up that way shortly.

You may want to consider the Beamish Park Hotel.
Not exactly in Consett, maybe 8 mile outside but within minutes of the A692 which will take you straight into Consett.
Lovely hotel, nice rooms. Stayed there many times and can't fault it. Also a decent pub across the road!

HI
 Beamish is about 7 miles from consett and there is a pub called the beamish mary, at a place call  No Place, which has good food,  bed and breakfast and reasonable and a bit  differant to the norm

Geoff, be very careful up there, its a strange place people have been known to disappear, especially carpet cleaners. Think Gordon eats them

[James Jacob]

Hope not... lol i plan to move up that way one day
