Headlam Hall Awarded 4 Stars!

06/05/2010

After operating for the past 30 years as a 3 star hotel we are delighted to have been awarded 4 stars by the AA and Enjoy England (The official tourism authority for England).

Many aspects of the hotel have been to a 4 star standard for a number of years but over the past 12 months we have invested in meeting the final requirements.

It is not the stars that make a good hotel but the real guest experience, however, it is a sign of the standard of facilities that have been developed at Headlam over the years and it makes us Teesdale's first 4 star hotel!
