Pub Atmosphere & Community
The Beamish Mary Inn operates as a working pub where guests interact with local patrons and staff. The inn offers a unique pub atmosphere with social engagements and live music on Friday nights. Evening meals are served in front of a real fire in the pub area, with home-cooked options such as steak and ale pie and large northern portions.
Accommodations & Family Rooms
The inn provides spacious family rooms with two double beds, a private bathroom, and views over fields or the village. Guests can choose from double rooms with private external bathrooms or deluxe double rooms with en-suite showers. A seasonal refurbishment program is ongoing to update room decor and fittings.
Dining & Breakfast
A full English or Irish breakfast is served each morning, with vegetarian and gluten-free alternatives available, along with cereal, yoghurt, and homemade toast. Evening meals include a wide menu of home-cooked food, with a strong recommendation for the corned beef pie and steak and ale pie. Breakfast is cooked to order and served at a time chosen by the guest.
