We arrived much earlier than we expected (2pm), but there was an extremely warm welcome and refreshments available as soon as we arrived.

"Nothing is too much trouble for Lorraine and Terry"
I'd previously stayed whilst on a cycling trip and was confident taking the family there whilst on a trip up to Scotland. The setting is amazing and we enjoyed arriving in snow which added to remote beauty of the place. The owners are very friendly and make every effort to make sure that your stay is comfortable. An evening meal is available and though the choice is limited there was something that we all liked and the meal was as generous as it was tasty. Read less

Parkhead Station gets its name from the railway station that was at the location. The building has a historic charm and given that it caters for walkers and cyclist it is wooden floors throughout.

"Top stay in a Top B&B..."
We were staying 1 night whilst on the C2C cycle trip. Parkhead Station was our last night and we saved the best til last! It was hard work getting there on a bike after 6 hours in the saddle, but it was worth it. Terry, Lorraine and Brenda gave us a firt class reception...that cup of tea on arrival was nectar...the food that followed for dinner was equally good....home cooked, fresh ingredients, great presentation and service. The whole ambience of the place was fabulous..warm and welcoming.... Read less

Parkhead is the former station master's house which has been sympathetically restored by owners Terry and Lorraine Turnbull to provide B&B & Tea Rooms with added attractions such as a Photographic/Art Gallery, Artwork ,railway memorabilia (kindly donated to Parkhead from numerous customers/visitors) also artefacts to test your knowledge. Parkhead Station once described as 'an extraordinary and disagreeable Dales relic' in 1998 before restoration but present day descriptions by visitors include terms as 'an oasis of the moor', 'haven' and 'sanctuary' with many clients returning to Parkhead regularly. Standing approx.1500 feet above sea level in the Northern Pennines (designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) Parkhead Station marks the 100 mile point on the renowned C2C long distance cycle route on the traffic free section of the Waskerly Way and down hill to the coast! Parkhead is ideal base if you wish to take some time to visit the many other attractions Wear Valley have to offer: Killhope Lead Mines, Dales Centre, Stanhope Village and numerous long/short walking routes. Durham area: Beamish Open Air Museum, Tanfield Railway, Durham City and Newcastle City. Literature is available in our Tea Rooms and Bed Rooms; of course we would be more than happy to help you plan your outings with our local knowledge.
