About Fatfield
Where to stay in Fatfield
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Fatfield is an address inside Washington rather than a destination with its own centre, so the practical choice runs between a room elsewhere in Washington and one in the wider City of Sunderland. St George's Church is the local marker. Rooms in the surrounding Washington areas suit drivers, while Sunderland proper holds the larger stock of beds.
