The Bird in Hand, Beck Row

My Wife and I stayed at the bird in hand the second week of June 2011, whilst in visiting family and friends in the area. What started out as an intended stay two nights doubled to four, as we were so happy with the accommodation, staff and the food on offer at the "Bird".
The accommodation was out standing! even for outside chalets (the only problem was the noisy generator light sets at the base entrance!!!!) get a chalet on the back row if you can!!! no problem then. The staff from the highest level to the lowest were fantastic!!!!! the bar staff saw me coming every time and new what we drank from the second round and briefed new staff in advance (very important as an ex landlord) they make everybody feel special. The food was also outstanding for quality and value. I would recommend this as a place to stay for anybody visiting the area it is within very easy reach of most major roads and a visit down to the north and east of London was managed in really good time 1hr 15 mins to the north circular road. In fact on our return to County Durham we told someone who wanted to book straight away!!!!!!
