"The Greenhead offers excellent standards of cleanliness, hygiene and attention to detail. Consistently high standards of hospitality, service, food and comfort".

Situated at the foot of rural Weardale and surrounded by fields and woodlands, The Greenhead is just 500 yards off the main A68 at Fir Tree, and only twenty minutes drive from historic cathedral city, Durham.

“Luxury Hideaway” Reviewed 28 October 2011 :

We picked the Greenhead Hotel out of the blue when the need arose to stay overnight in the Vicinity of Crook.
If we had searched for a week I do not think we could have found any place nicer, more comfortable, well appointed and so quiet. The owners have renovated a truly beautiful property in excellent taste and in perfect harmony with it's history
The breakfast deserves a paragraph on it's own, perfectly cooked and served locally sourced ingredients, even what was denoted a "small" serving was enough to keep us going all day!
A perfect place to hideaway and visit the local attractions at your leisure
Room Tip: The twin bedded room on the ground floor has a huge picture window overlooking the cottage garden.
