The Spotlight on South Causey Inn

Rustic Charm Meets Live Music Adventures

South Causey Inn is a charming, countryside-style hotel nestled between Durham and Newcastle, offering a cozy yet upscale experience for concert-goers. With 60 individually styled rooms—from snug en-suites to luxurious themed suites with private hot tubs and copper baths—this family-run inn is known for its genuinely warm hospitality. Set in 100 acres of scenic countryside, it also offers a slice of Northern history, being just minutes from Beamish Museum and Tanfield Railway.

Why Concert-goers love it

Though tucked away in peaceful countryside, South Causey Inn is ideally positioned for quick trips into Newcastle or Durham for gigs and festivals. After a late show, you’ll return to a tranquil retreat—far enough from the city buzz to unwind, but close enough for easy access via car or taxi. With flexible 3:00 PM check-in and a relaxed vibe, it’s perfect for resting up before or after a big night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want a unique stay with personality
  • Solo travelers looking to pair a concert with some countryside calm
  • Couples planning a romantic music-filled weekend
  • Fans needing a quiet space to recharge after standing-room-only gigs
  • Budget-conscious concert-goers wanting value with charm

Food and Drink Options

South Causey Inn’s family pub restaurant and cocktail bar are open late, so you can grab a bite or sip something local after your gig. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the on-site dining options are hearty and satisfying. Breakfast is available and perfect for a lazy, post-concert morning.

Nightlife Options

There’s a cocktail bar on site with a laid-back atmosphere, ideal for winding down or warming up before the show. While nightlife in the immediate area is more chill, you’re a short drive from Newcastle’s vibrant bar and club scene if you want to keep the night going.

What People Say

Guests rave about the unique room designs, peaceful location, and above all, the exceptional kindness of the staff. Many reviews mention how refreshing it is to return to this quiet refuge after busy nights out. The on-site food also gets consistent praise for its quality and comforting portions.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the rural location means you’ll need a car or taxi to reach city venues, and cell service can be patchy in spots. But for many, that’s part of the charm—a true escape from the ordinary.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a memorable, peaceful place to stay after a concert, South Causey Inn hits all the right notes.

We'll be back!

Liked: Atmosphere was great, but background music was too loud and rock music at 8am was a harsh way to greet the day. Reception staff were superb, coffee tray & toiletries really nice, showers lovely, rooms well appointed. Staff were exceptionally helpful when I rang with questions - a really lovely place to stay
Disliked: Abbie wasn't very friendly, made us feel rather rushed. We were very surprised when she told us that the salmon could only be cooked well done! We asked her to check with chef as this is NEVER how salmon should be cooked (Michelin star chef was one of the party so we knew what should be possible). Food was very very good but portion size was overwhelming (even for two men with healthy appetites)

Excellent staff, food and venue....

Liked: It was a really charming place, quite a larger site than expected and easy to get to. The food was fantastic although the portions were huge! The staff were the stand out though, everyone we dealt with was so helpful and friendly. The room was lovely, lots of nice touches and very clean.
Disliked: There were literally only two things. The bed was quite hard so I didn’t sleep well. And we could hear absolutely everything going on in the room next door, they were watching tv until 4am and where very loud when talking in the morning, very thin walls so I’m not sure I would choose to stay here again sadly
