About Old Coach House At The Golden Lion
Rooms at Old Coach House At The Golden Lion come with en-suite bathrooms and drinks provided, with family rooms available for those travelling with children. It's a straightforward, comfortable base rather than a designer retreat, set within a historic building on Market Place in St Johns Chapel.
Downstairs there's a restaurant and bar on site, breakfast is served each morning, and kids' meals are catered for. Free WiFi runs throughout, reception operates around the clock, and pets are welcome. Free on-site parking makes it easy to arrive by car and leave it there for the duration of the stay.
The surrounding area is good walking country, with Hamsterley Forest and High Force waterfall both within reach for a day out, and further pubs and restaurants nearby for evenings out. It's a practical spot for exploring County Durham's countryside without needing to move the car each day.
