Just a 10 minutes drive to Bishop Auckland and only 12 miles from the City of Durham we are ideally situated to take advantage of the many local attractions and historic sites in our region.

After a major refurbishment lasting over 18 months The Fir Tree Country Hotel, bar and restaurant reopened its doors. Your hosts George and Annette and the team look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful, new surroundings, whether you’re staying in the hotel, having a meal in our restaurant or just a quiet drink in the bar we feel confident that your first visit won’t be your last.

There has been a bar on the site for well over 120 years now which has become a landmark in the village and surrounding area. The completely revamped restaurant now seats over 70 people comfortably in a pleasant atmosphere. If you’re taking a seat in the restaurant our chef has created a menu for you with something to please just about any taste, and not to mention our already famous, Sunday Carvery, which is as impressive as it is satisfying.
