We went for Sunday lunch but had to wait 50 minutes to get it even though we had booked a table.  Food was awful, dry Yorkshire puddings rock hard roast potatoes, bland veg, just awful. Dreadful service, will not be going back. Very different to the night time.

very poor, staff had bad attitude, food awful.

Based on the food this was 5/5.
Very busy on a Wednesday lunch time!!, so be sure to book.  Old school need to ring up, also website not the best but ?? if you know you know….
It’s a big place so you could probably go there on spec, certainly as a couple, any more might be a challenge.  
My Pork Stroganoff was perfect….

Wednesday Lunch

We spent two nights here as we were going to Sedgefield Races.  This is a traditional pub with good home cooking and a good selection of beers and other drinks.  The rooms are a bit old fashioned but excellent value at £80 for B&B.  The staff were, without exception, friendly and efficient.  The Dun Cow seems to be a fixture in the community as the extensive dining room and bar were full on a Tuesday evening and many people also seemed to pop in for morning coffees or lunch. Special thanks go to Mark, the chef, who drove us to the races on a wet day!

Great traditional inn

I never normally write reviews but in this case it's a must. My cousin suggested the dun cow inn after doing a family tree & finding out our 3rd time grandmother had worked there. The food was absolutely amazing especially the chips & the service from the staff was really good too. I would definitely recommend the dun cow inn

Brilliant service & beautiful chips

I am actually regular reviewer and as happy to write a very honest and good review as a poor review. I'm sorry this is a poor review but I will make it completely honest. 
First . The good things 
The location is fabulous. We stay every August for the festival and Sedgefield is a lovely little village. 
The staff. I can not fault the staff. From the ladies we spoke to on the desk both on leaving and check in, to the young staff in the dining room, the staff are pleasant and courteous. 
The food is good. The breakfast is extensive, the choice is good and we felt the breakfast was value for money. 
The not so good. There was a mess up with our booking. We had booked a year ago but when I rang the week before our stay nobody had heard of us and our room was booked out. It took a lot of phonecalls and me crying before it was sorted. Communication was awful and even 2 days before we arrived I was ringing frantically trying to find out what was happening, thankfully we did have a room when we arrived. 
The room. This wasn't good. I took pictures and showed the hotel staff but I'm not going to post them on here. The room was filthy. There was a thick layer of dust around the edge of the carpet. The walls were covered in mould and stains from damp. The window nook was black with mould. There was a thick layer of dust on the television, there were cobwebs on the lights and the pelmet of the curtain was hanging off. 
The bed was like something you'd get out of a skip. The springs were all finished and one side of the bed was so flat that during the night you rolled out unless you blocked yourself in with a pillow. The bed was on wheels and not attached to the headboard so when you got in the bed shot away from the wall and your pillows fell down the gap. 
My partner has asthma and breathing was almost impossible for him, we opened the windows, bought antihistamines and hoped for the best 
On arrival we were given a free bottle of wine for the confusion about our booking ( had I not rang the week before to enquire we would have turned up with nowhere to stay!) and when I showed the lady on reception the photos of the dust/ mould/ mildew when we left she knocked £40 off the bill. Like I said, she couldn't have been more helpful. But at £80 a night for a double room I'd expect a clean functioning bed and a dust free room. 
Sadly we won't stay again.

Needs much improvement 

I had a great little stay in this traditional hotel. I was immediately impressed to be informed that they would go out and buy gluten free bread and sausages for my breakfasts when I told them of my intolerance. Going by the busyness of the restaurant each night it must be a very good place to eat (I only got to eat an evening meal once due to my work, my loss). The staff were very friendly and accommodating throughout. 

Pleased and pleasing

If you want somewhere to stay that is NOT corporate all that that entails, then this might be the answer. It's a traditional pub, but a quiet one.  Arrive put your bag in the room (Room is oldy worldy but it's fine), go have a relaxing pint. You can literally park by the front door, so very handy. Want something to eat, well if you arrive late like me the bar food was finished, an OK Chinese is right opposite for a takeway to the Dun Cow. Breakfast is full English and really good. Price inc' this excellent breakfast a very reasonable 70 quid. 

Antidote to the corporate chains

Rang to book table was told one would be allocated. Arrived had to stand at the side of the bar until everyone was served. One person serving and a girl running  backwards and forwards to back room. Told to sit anywhere. Sat down and waited and waited and waited. Tried to get girls attention. Did not see any orders being taken or food being served. We left, thanks Dun Cow great night.

Unbelievable 

We stayed overnight at The Dun Cow recently due to a family wedding nearby. When we arrived the smell of the food was amazing. The pub was busy with diners and is clearly popular with the locals. We’ll definitely be going back for an evening meal. A very warm welcome from all staff. The rooms were cosy, clean and well equipped. Breakfast the next morning was excellent, a good choice and the cooked breakfast was delicious. 

A couple of staff members stood out. There was a young lad working behind the bar who knew his gins well and recommended several. He was right. 

However the standout staff member for us was Richard who greeted us in reception when we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble for him. Even to the point of offering us a lift to the wedding venue rater than struggling to get a taxi. He ensured we were looked after and is a credit to the business. 

We will be back.

Ah excellent stay, found w hidden gem

I wanted somewhere for an overnight stay near the A1 , with onsite parking , where i could have something good  to eat and drink and a comfortable sleep. The Dun Cow ticks all those boxes .   Despite the many pubs and restaurants in Sedgefield . I decided to eat here and  wasnt disappointed - the food was excellent. Even on  a very busy saturday evening  the  service was exemplary and my room  ( despite it being an old building ) , was spacious and very well equipped . A special mention for all the staff who - at reception , in the bar and in the restaurant at breakfast - were all unfailingly efficient , but also relaxed and very friendly . At a time when some hospitality venues seem to be cutting corners , The Dun Cow is getting it right . many thanks
