The Lambton Arms is appreciated for its central location in Chester-Le-Street, making it convenient for accessing local shops and the train station. Many guests find it great value for money, especially when attending events like engagement parties in the good-sized function room.

My room had tea and coffee making facilities. The provided biscuits tasted quite good. The bathroom included fresh towels and toiletries.
The elevator made a strange noise sometimes.

a stay with issues

faulty toiletmissing remote
The room was not great. the toilet didn't flush well. The manager showed me a trick to make it work, instead of fixing it. also, the tv remote was missing, and i never got a replacement. there was no regular room service. Only the tea tray got refreshed if they remembered.
