9/10 Wonderful! (974 reviews)

Handsome furnishings,linen,& building. Breakfast has moved to the basement instead of lovely dining room,so I did not eat,no room service even for coffee & pastries. Attic room with small window,good view of Grey Street. Shower over bath is awkward for elders. Poor wi fi,a nuisance. Took 3 requests to get my room heated. Very peaceful in the attic!

You need at least a day to visit. Make sure you see the winding house in the colliery area as the operative is amazing and worth the entrance fee on his own.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Take a packed lunch as meals in restaurant are pricey

4/5 - Good

Excellent but please allow at least 2 days so that you can see everything.

Get an annual ticket and visit in the afternoon on the first day, it'll probably be a bit quieter after. 2.00 as the school trips go home then. You can get your bearings ready for a full day the following day.

Buy tickets online to save queueing when you arrive. The queue for the bakery looked long but didn’t take a huge amount of time to get through. Don’t have your heart set on a particular item of food as when it’s gone it’s gone! Avoid the Pork Pie’s at all costs, they are filled with chunky meat that looked like dog meat, they did not taste good! The queue for Fish and Chips in the pit village takes around an hour when full. We arrived at 3pm and were told by staff that we may queue for an hour but might not actually get any food. When it’s gone it’s gone!
