The Spotlight on The Lambton Worm

Classic British Charm Meets Concert Convenience

A warm and welcoming inn in Chester-le-Street, The Lambton Worm offers a traditional British pub atmosphere with modern comforts. Just a short drive from major North East concert venues, this cozy B&B is ideal for music fans looking for a friendly base with a local vibe. Featuring en-suite rooms, a popular on-site restaurant, and a well-stocked bar, it’s a charming blend of comfort and convenience.

Why Concert-goers love it

Located just 1.6 miles from Lumley Castle and within easy reach of Newcastle and Sunderland gig destinations, The Lambton Worm makes show nights a breeze. With free on-site parking and a 24-hour front desk, late arrivals are no problem. The peaceful village setting means a quieter night’s sleep after the encore, while the warm pub downstairs keeps the energy going post-show.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends who want a laid-back base with pub access
- Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list tour
- Couples looking for a cozy weekend escape
- Fans needing quiet recovery after a big gig
- Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to skimp on comfort

Food and Drink Options

The Lambton Worm serves up hearty British fare all day long, with breakfast available each morning — ideal after a late night out. The on-site restaurant is known for its local specialties, and the pub offers a selection of ciders, beers, and wines. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the friendly bar staff and evening dining options make it easy to refuel.

Nightlife Options

While the B&B itself doesn’t host live music, the on-site pub atmosphere is lively and authentic. You’re also within easy reach of bars and clubs in Durham and Newcastle for those wanting to keep the night going. It’s a relaxed spot to grab a pint before or after the show.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, clean and comfy rooms, and the pub's excellent food. Many reviewers highlight the convenient location for events at Lumley Castle and nearby venues, and the free parking is a big bonus. It’s often described as “great value” and “full of character.”

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the rooms can be a bit compact, and there’s no lift, so upstairs rooms may be a slight challenge with heavy luggage. Being a pub inn, it can have a little buzz on weekend nights — perfect for social butterflies, but light sleepers may want to pack earplugs.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers seeking a mix of affordability, local charm, and convenience, The Lambton Worm hits the right note.

Not the best experience....but we...

Liked: The room was spacious and the service in the restaurant was good.
Disliked: I was disappointed with breakfast. I am a very easy (and cheap) customer as I don't order a cooked breakfast. The continental selection was very limited; on more than one day there was no orange juice and no fruit yoghurts. There were a few sad looking pears, but no other fresh fruit. The cereal choice was not great.I also had a problem in my room on the first night; the roller-blind collapsed as I went to close it. As there was no one on reception I told the guy behind the bar who promised to report it. I also told the lady on breakfast duty the next morning, who also promised to report it as a maintenance job.I returned back to my room that evening to find the blind just lying on my bedroom floor. I immediately told Calum behind the bar who managed to secure it to the window with gaffer tape, but that meant I was unable to open or close it for the remainder of my stay. The place clearly is in need of hands-on management to ensure maintenance is done promptly.
