Lord Crewe Arms, Durham

Description: Lord Crewe Arms

Nestled in the heart of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, in the historic village of Blanchland, the Lord Crewe Arms is set in a 12th century priory and a row of tied cottages. Recently having undergone a thoughtful restoration, this magnificent property offers cosy accommodation, delicious, hearty cuisine and friendly, welcoming hospitality in a delightful heritage location.

Fantastic for both 'staycations' and active holidays, the Lord Crewe Arms is ideally placed for enjoying the charms of the Northumbrian countryside, with hiking, fishing, cycling and sailing high on the list of activities available from the hotel. Aside from the village of Blanchland itself, nearby attractions include the Roman town of Corbridge, and the historic city of Durham.

With a number of unique dining venues, the Lord Crew Arms takes great pride in its robust modern British menu, based on the finest, locally sourced and seasonal produce, with fruit and vegetables from the hotel's kitchen garden. The vaulted crypt bar is also a unique spot for drinks and pub food, and serves a magnificent range of beers, wines and spirits, specialising in locally brewed artisanales.
