Teesdale - plan your country escape

Welcome to the Rose and Crown at Romaldkirk, a picture perfect inn in a quintessentially English village in the heart of glorious Teesdale.  As Fiona Duncan of the Sunday Telegraph writes, “Everything about this place is perfect.”

Step inside and you will see the hallway is festooned with awards - testimony to the high standards of hospitality that make the Rose and Crown first choice when staying in Teesdale within County Durham.

A popular haunt for local diners from Barnard Castle and the surrounding villages, food is of the essence with locally sourced produce much from within Teesdale itself, freshly cooked and beautifully presented, with a choice of dining in either the restaurant or less formally in the brasserie.  Drinks can be enjoyed in the cosy bar with its open log fire and in summer guests enjoy drinks outside overlooking the village green and the beautiful Teesdale scenery. The beautifully furnished and cosy lounge is well equipped with maps and guides to the best walks in Teesdale.

All the rooms are stylishly furnished under the careful supervision of Ali Davy, superbly comfortable and well equipped with those little touches that make a guest’s stay special – Bose sound systems, glossy magazines, Come Rain or Shine, (Chris and Ali Davy’s personal guide to the highlights of Teesdale, County Durham and beyond), luxury toiletries and big fluffy towels.

Throughout the historic building contemporary styling combines with original features to create a superbly comfortable and welcoming place to stay – without a doubt a very special gem and a perfect base for exploring Teesdale with its picturesque little villages, historic properties, breathtaking unspoilt scenery and the fascinating Bowes Museum.  All of this is right on the doorstep of the Rose and Crown in Teesdale.
