Oak Tree Inn  

Tucked in Stanley’s calm countryside vibe, Oak Tree Inn sits about 3 km from the town centre. A short drive lands you at Beamish Open Air Museum and Causey Arch, with Newcastle city centre and Durham an easy trip for day trips. Family-friendly spot with easy on-site parking.

This snug inn has just six recently refurbished rooms and a cozy, authentic British feel — think open fire and comfy beds. Rooms offer showers, flat-screen TVs, separate sitting areas and desks, and some overlook the terrace and garden. Simple, value-driven stays with northern hospitality.

Kick back at the bar or the on-site restaurant, sing at karaoke nights, or let the kids run in the playrooms. There’s a terrace and garden for fresh-air breaks, an ATM onsite, and free self-parking. Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps things connected while you unwind in the country air.

Complimentary wireless internet and luggage storage make short business stays easy. Free self-parking is available onsite.

Enjoy meals at the inn’s restaurant and wrap up with a drink in the bar/lounge. Full breakfasts are served daily (8–9 AM) for a fee, set up to fuel your northern-site exploring.
