Great Inns of Britain

The Rose & Crown enjoys a picture postcard setting in Teesdale where, since 1733, the Inn has overlooked Romaldkirk’s three village greens, complete with medieval stocks, water pump, Saxon church and charming stone built cottages.

Stepping inside, the Inn effortlessly blends contemporary fittings and furnishings with the period interiors of polished panelling, old beams and gleaming brasses. The bar is a popular watering hole for locals and residents with polished wood ceiling, oak settle, old prints, carriage lamps and enormous dog grate.

The twelve en-suite bedrooms are individually decorated and furnished with luxurious fabrics, Bose music systems and Molton Brown bathroom accessories. The seven bedrooms in the main house boast period features, some with exposed beams and antique furniture, with a couple having private sitting rooms; while the five bedrooms in the courtyard offer a more modern, contemporary décor.

Guests can dine in either the Brasserie or the Restaurant and enjoy dishes that make the most of local and regional produce. With oak paneling, white tablecloths, candlelight and sparkling silver, the Restaurant offers a fine dining experience, while the Brasserie provides a more informal setting with large cartoon prints of French waiters and candlelight.
