What a location, such history, wonderful owner. We arrived around 4:30, were warmly welcomed and then discovered the history. This place is all that is good about giving back to the countryside and community. We ate very well in the evening (local meat, Whitby scampi), slept deeply and had a lovely breakfast. Saw golden plover, red grouse, many lapsing and a meadow pipit. Thank you Lorraine for your wonderful hospitality.

A must stay if you plan to be in the north Pennines

Popped in for home made scones, flapjacks and coffee on a chilly day during our Sea to Sea cycle. Fire lit dining room greatly appreciated! Staff great and lovely to talk to the owner. Thank you for the swimming trunks recommendation! Next time we will we stay overnight.

Warm welcome

This is the most excellent place to stay. The host is very very nice. She cooked a meal for me as i was the only guest. The meal was all fresh made. She put in the stove for me and i felt like an guest how a real guest should feel. 
The guesthouse is in the most beautiful and relaxed place one can think of. 

Terrific hist and place to be

My husband and I stayed at the Parkhead Station House, at the end of our 2nd day of the C2C, with my parents who were our support team! A fantastic warm welcome awaited us all and we were shown to spotless bedrooms, comfortable beds, tea and coffee plus a powerful shower. Dinner was pre ordered from a locally sourced menu and was delicious, breakfast was the same and much appreciated before the final day of cycling. The Station House is at the top of the Crawleyside Bank climb, and though tough at the end of day 2, is a place to recharge and almost celebrate as it is all down hill on day 3! A gem of a place and would highly recommend and thank you to Lorraine and Louise who made us feel so welcome.

C2C stay on top of the world!

The Parkhead was built specifically for cyclists on the second night of their C2C ride, and what a gem. Modern accommodation; terrific warm showers, comforty beds and delicious food for dinner. For weary riders this place is an oasis.

Fantastic accommodation on second night of C2C ride

Loved the place, great to hear about the history. Owners very Covid conscious. Food spot on and service good too.
Secure storage for bikes.
Definitely stay again. 
Thanks (sorry for not reviewing earlier)

C2C stay

I stayed for two nights while cycling in the area on Durhams disused railways. I had previously had great lunches here but didnt realise it was a B&B until planning my trip.  Its a lovely old building with loads of dark wood & beams but is quite remote but this gives great views, weather permitting. Once inside the welcome is very warm. Great hosts.
Despite still having some restrictions on menu the food was great, homemade soup excellent (had it both nights) and rhubarb crumble and custard, mmmmmm.

A great stay in stunning scenery

Stayed at Parkhead Station for one night on C2C stopover.
Guests should be aware that this is a no frills accommodation - no WiFi, and very bad phone signal.
Owners are also still very Covid cautious, so expect to wear masks in all communal areas, and have your temperature taken on entry.  This is their right and should be respected.  It does mean you can't sit downstairs unless it's outside.
Bikes stored in shed outside.
The B&B stands on it's own so you do need to pre-book an evening meal (6.30pm is latest sitting).  Food was hearty and excellent and service very friendly (although made us laugh that waitress didn't wear a mask after the copious safety precautious).
Room was small, but perfectly adequate with nice shower en suite and great views.
We stayed in Waskerley and even manged to get mobile data, which we couldn't elsewhere in the building.
Breakfast had to be chosen the night before - no cereal etc (suspect for Covid reasons), but cooked breakfast was more than enough.
Very warm welcome and really good stay.
Would definitely recommend and would return.

Great C2C Stopover.

I cannot recommend staying here highly enough! From the minute I arrive I felt incredibly welcome. Lorraine was the warmest and friendliest of hosts. Unfortunately my Mum had been forced to drop out of the ride due to injury and Lorraine went out of her way to make be feel at ease despite this. I wasn't keen on eating in the restaurant area alone so she prepared me a meal for my room. Incredibly kind! The room has wooden floor and doors which gives a lovely feel. The shower was warm and the room spotlessly clean. The views are astounding too! 
Breakfast was home made and tasted fab! 
Highly, highly recommend!!

Coast to Coast stop!

This guest house hit the spot for our overnight stay on the C2C bike trail. It offered a clean and comfortable room and a nice hot shower. Food served in the evening was nice along with breakfast the following morning. Owners are a friendly family run business and would stay again
