Being regulars at the Aston Hotel Sheffield we had no doubt when booking for the Beamish Family Break at one of the excellent Aston Group of Hotels but we were a little concerned when emailed a few days beforehand of the refurbishment and take over by Holiday Inns. These fears were soon allayed by the warm welcome at the Reception. Our weekend break included two nights in a very comfortable quiet room, good value breakfast dinner in their A La Carte Menu for the first night and two tickets for the Beamish Open Air Museum, an excellent value for money break. Although we have to stay with the arrival of two coaches for a one night stay on the Saturday it was a bit hectic for Dinner and breakfast on Sunday but a quiet word with the receptionist to co-ordinate our timing a potential problem was overcome. A most enjoyable stay and something we must consider doing again in the not too distant future.
