The Morritt Hotel, Barnard Castle

Located in the picturesque hamlet of Greta Bridge, this traditional and peaceful 4-star AA hotel is in a beautiful location close to the Tees Valley and Yorkshire Dales.

The Morritt Hotel is Teesdale’s hidden treasure, just of the A66, some 9 miles west of Scotch Corner. This 17th century former coaching inn offers a warm welcome to everyone, whether for business or pleasure. In the winter you will be greeted by our roaring log fire in the lounge, while in summer you can relax with a drink in our well-tended gardens.

No 2 bedrooms are alike, all different in size, shape, style and furnishings. Each room is individually styled, many with original features of this Grade II listed building.

Whether you are staying for a short break or a longer holiday, there is a wealth of things to do and places to visit in the nearby area. Historic houses and gardens, castles, abbeys, Roman ruins, craft and antique shops, horse racing, motor racing, wildlife sanctuaries and countryside walks are just some of the options available to you.

For more specific information, there is always a vast selection of information leaflets and maps available to our guests.

Whatever you plan for the day we're always happy to prepare picnics and offer advice, and you can be sure there will be a warm welcome waiting for you on your return.

There are 27 bedrooms in total, 21 in the main building with a further 2 in the courtyard and another 4 in the cottage, all located within the hotel grounds. There is no lift at the hotel as we are a Grade II listed building, so rooms in the main building are located either on the first or second floors. The 2 courtyard rooms are first floor bedrooms; however, each of the 4 cottage rooms are on the ground floor with parking directly opposite. One of these rooms has accessibility for a wheelchair.

All rooms allocated will be with double bed unless requested, the exception being rooms for sole use which may be twin bedded, unless otherwise requested.
