At The County we pride ourselves in our fantastic reputation for fresh food and locally brewed real ale served up in a warm and friendly environment. Our Food
Only the freshest of ingredients will do and if we can source the produce locally we will. We are fortunate to have some great local suppliers on our doorstep and our menus are frequently developed to capture the taste and freshness of their superb range of seasonal produce. Our Ale
Locally produced food wouldn’t be complete without our locally produced ale. We do like our ales at The County… Double Maxim, Caps Off and The County’s very own brew are firm favourites. They are complemented by a range of guest ales from breweries around the country which means there is always a good selection of beers for the aficionados! Each individually designed room will feature the sort of home comforts you come to expect at The County including en-suite facilities, comfy thick duvets, fluffy towels, toiletries, tea and coffee making facilities, Wi-Fi connectivity and flat-screen TVs. Us
It is our mission to make sure you are warmly welcomed and feel at home as soon as you step foot inside The County. Our relaxed atmosphere combined with friendly service perfectly complements our great, honest food and is the secret ingredient to the whole The County experience.

💛 Supporting Paul & Andrew in Memory of Julie 💛

In Julie's memory, her husband Paul, along with their son Andrew, are taking on an incredible 50km trek across the Sahara Desert to raise money for St Teresa’s Hospice.

It’s a huge challenge for a cause that means so much to them, and we’d love for our County community to get behind them.

If you’re able to donate, every contribution will help. And if you can’t, simply sharing their fundraiser will help spread the word and show your support. ❤️

Let’s help Paul & Andrew make every kilometre count for Julie.

A lovely day at the Aycliffe4Aycliffe Business Expo! 💚
It was great to see so many local businesses and share what The County can offer, from comfortable rooms for visiting colleagues to good food after a busy day.
Thank you to Aycliffe4Aycliffe for organising the event and to Planet Leisure for hosting us. And thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand for a chat!
