Runa Farm

We booked last minute and were very impressed with the friendly service and accommodation.

The hotel staff were lovely, we were upgraded to a deluxe room with a hot tub, as it was my partners 50th birthday. Also a lovely touch, a bottle of prosecco waiting in the room with a card.

Stayed for our daughter’s wedding which was first class. Food, staff facilities and organisation was exceptional. Thoroughly recommend.

Our experience was generally good, the staff both on reception and in the restaurant were very pleasant. The food was disappointing as it didn’t live up to its expectations of the menu, which was a shame. There was a lot of noice coming from the outside patio area as people used this space for smoking and vaping. Our room over looked this, you could hear a lot of noise even with the window closed along with the various smells from the smoke.

Absolutely amazing

Room was small but perfect for what we were after, and It included toiletries and tea making facilities. We had a private hot tub which was brilliant. The was a good selection at breakfas,t but at dinner there were quite a lot of meals unavailable, but what we had was very nice. The hotel was generally quite shabby but that is the intention I think and it did add to its charm.

Food was lovely although my wife’s breakfast order was incorrect. Got black pudding and tomato despite asking not to have. A bit of a waste but rest of food was excellent. Bed was very comfortable. Room was lovely.

Had a lovely stay at the hotel. The staff were very accommodating. Only one very minor issue was the lighting in the room was poor - due to lack of lights

Amazing place to stay. Wonderful location, views were amazing but easy to find. excellent facilities in the room.

Heating was broken in room absolutely freezing and could not be fixed. Not able to change room was given a blanket not good for the £190 cost

Excellent stay at runaway farm cottage had a lovely birthday celebration ,all staff at runa are so helpful

Perfect for a wedding

Absolutely amazing stay!! Would definitely recommend!

Attended a wedding here and it was a beautiful setting.

Stayed as part of a weeding, lovely food, room was very small.

What an utterly lovely find this place is. Quiet, rural views, clean, fabulous staff and exceptional facilities. There are lovely little touches in the rooms which makes the whole stay feel like a proper treat. I can’t wait to go back.

Fabulous night spent to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Will definitely return!!

Runa farm was a brilliant place to stay and i only wish i had more time there. the only thing i would say needed changing in my room would be to get a proper kingsize mattress or a topper so you can feel the zip and one of the chairs sort of blocks access to the shower

Lovely stay , staff super friendly. Food excellent

We had an absolutely amazing stay! The hotel itself was beautiful, but the highlight was definitely the hot tub – the perfect addition for a truly relaxing getaway. From the moment we arrived, everything felt effortless and welcoming. The staff in the restaurant were fantastic—so friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. The food was outstanding, full of flavour and beautifully presented, and the cocktails were just perfect. Every little detail made the stay feel special, and I wouldn’t hesitate to return. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious break!

Place was amazing, room was perfect, hot tub exactly how it should be. The only thing that let the stay down was how slow the service was with food in the restaurant, the food was really nice just the overall service wasn’t great that was both the evening meal and breakfast, the restaurant wasn’t busy either on the evening or morning so not sure if this is a 1 off or the normal but overall great stay I would definitely go back again but maybe not have a meal on the night especially.

Took my mam for her 80th birthday!!! Amazing from start to finish!!! Beautiful place!! Staff so helpful, will definitely be back xx

Amazing Room lovely Hot tub great Reception staff lovely Meal in the smithy was unreal

Great stay

Fabulous find - lovely place

Great selection of rooms. Lots of parking. Excellent breakfast .

This is a lovely spot to stay near Barnard Castle. Excellent breakfast

First time staying here. Warm welcome on reception, lovely room and stay. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Food was lovely-drinks on the pricey side but to be expected with being in a remote place! Bed super comfy and shower was fab! A lush stay all round ❤️

Runa Farm is very very nice. The bed was lovely and comfy, the decor was very good and clever! Shower lovely, toiletries lovely and just lovely. We had an evening meal which was a touch expensive but very high quality.

A fantastic stay overall. The room was clean and of a very good standard. We were greeted by Emma on reception and made very welcome. We had a meal in the restaurant and it was excellent. Thanks go to Lewis for his attentive service. We will definitely be back. Nick and Tracy.

Hotel was stunning, priced very reasonably for the standard and the staff were impeccable. Couldn’t ask for more.

Comfortable for our one night stay. Enjoyed an evening meal in the restaurant and a nightcap in the garden. Friendly service. Booked for a second night.

We had a great stay. Customer service was brilliant. Could do with better road signage as it wasn't very clear where the entrance was.

Honestly the most beautiful place woman on the desk was amazing so helpful and cherful me and my parted got the deluce double with hot tob and it was absolutley amazing perfect and the breakfast was beautiful also will defo be coming back

This is a lovely place to stay, very peaceful and quiet and close to Barnard Castle. The staff are friendly and the service was excellent. The rooms are as good as they look on the photos. Good WiFi and place to catch up on work near the bar area. I see it is a Wedding venue too, I’d say it’s a great place for a party.

Form the moment i arrived i could not ask for more off the staff with working till very late the night porter made as both a hot drink when we came back the restaurant staff was amazing also and the grounds man to thank you will stay again

Excellent venue, nice rooms, only complaint was the bathroom radiator did not work, rest of the room fine. 5* breakfast.

Stayed for

Modern stylish property, lovely helpful staff. Restaurant, food was great

Excellent

Quick check in. Staff friendly.

The venue was lovely. The rooms had a drain smell. Items not in toom on arrival dressing gown slippers chocolate. Water milk tea not replaced no staff available. Breakfast appauling must have been cooked and left . There was not enough domestic or kitchen staff which left dirty rooms and poor food.

Almost perfect. Amazing dinner menu and quality. Only improvement, please cut the permanent shrieking “music” in the dining room

Hotel molto originale, in campagna e quindi molto quieto e silenzioso, con una struttura veramente curata, camere rinnovare e molto carine, pulizia impeccabile, personale giovane, molto competente e accogliente. Colazione completa e buon ristorante, con buon servizio e buoni piatti. Consigliatissimo.

On the whole very good! Only issue we had was a little noisy but to be expected as a wedding venue.

Loved this place and cant wait to go back. My room was beautiful and the service was 10/10. Staff were super friendly and always had time for you which is such a nice touch when youre out on the road alone. Highly recommend.

Really nice stay. Thoroughly enjoyed the food. Breakfast and evening meal both excellent. Liked the rustic decor which gave a lovely feel to the place and the staff were a credit to Runa farm - so friendly and helpful

The location is lovely, but Runa Farm simply doesn't stack up when compared to other accommodation in the same price bracket. Personally, I won't stay here again for several other factors than just price; all of them inexperienced staff issues.
