Absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful 20th century house. Really really clean. Gorgeous location. Really friendly staff and the breakfast was delicious (actually in terms of options it was by far the best we have had in the four days we have been away in different hotels). Really just an excellent stay. Wouldn't hesitate to go back next year.

I only have two criticisms of the stay. One, the driveway really does need resurfacing in places as there are some rather monstrous potholes. Two, the bedroom wasn't really big enough to fit the bed as with our luggage we couldn't really get around it. We'd make sure we got a slight larger room next time (the bathroom was fantastic though and very large). And that's it. Really two very small issues for what was a fantastic stay :)

Quality furniture, very pleasant staff, comfortable bed, nice bath, exceptional breakfast. Nice location very quiet just owls hooting at night.

Many attention to detail defects. Or would get full marks. T spoon welded to saucer, lifted saucer with someone’s hit chocolate! Towels very rough drying issue. Huge ketchup bottle on tables? Soap in bathroom had about three squirts left in it. Top it up or replace. Bath squirty soap shampoo conditioner had encrusted product on end of spouts and runs down bath. Lots of negative signs. No WiFi rooms but no mention in room guide. Crazy signage to driveway. Chaotic parking. Just needs a few tweaks as a lovely place and it seems huge investment to look good but nothing to show care for customer needs. Breakfast from 8.30??? It’s not what guests want. I was lucky and breakfast was superb!

The staff were amazing - friendly and professional. Room was very clean. Breakfast was fantastic and portions were huge. Although we didn't go in the garden, it looked like a nice place to sit when the sun is shining.

The lack of a shower in the room - It did have a bath with Jacuzzi, but a shower is important. Having to ring the bell and trying to look for someone if not answering first time round. And some of the guests (lol). Also entrance and drive way really needs to be improved

Friendly hosts and great service. A very comfy bed, excellent breakfast and a clean and well decorated room. Location was perfect for us being 10 minutes from our Son. We didn't have time to explore the area so can't comment on that. Overall a great stop over.

Small room, a little castraphobic but still had everything you needed. Small shower head had little power and very squeaky bathroom door.

Super friendly staff that couldn't do enough for us. Even created a lunch bag for both of us as daughter was racing at the local velodrome with a lovely message too. Great beer and an amazing snooker room. Bedroom was one of the best we'd ever staying in. And the chips were the best! Highly recommended.

Menu could be expanded but the food was excellent.

The location was lovely and very quiet. The room was amazing exactly like the photos on website. Patio outside so we could eat outside morning and night. Fabulous food cooked to perfection and good value for money. The hotel was a family business and the family and their staff were professional and friendly they couldn't do enough for us. It was a suprise night away for my fiancé for his 60th birthday and the Manager gave us a complimentary bottle of prosecco and congratulated him. We will definitely be back as we have never stayed in such a lovely place with such friendly staff.

Couldn't fault a thing.

The location, the hole in the trees that lead to a beautiful walk with the view of Roseberry Topping. I have been three times now and every time they have been friendly and accommodating, The breakfast is really good, full English breakfast, coffee refill, cereals and fruit. I enjoy coming back to this hotel. Staff are friendly

The property was on the edge of town set in large wooded area making feel you were in middle of the country side. Fortunately it was still close to many of the surrounding attractions. We visited Thorton Le Dale (Bangers and Cash show) on the way up and did a day out to Beamish about 45 minutes away to the North. The staff were very welcoming and when we had an issue with our shower tray not draining we were upgraded to a better room without any quibble. The new room even had a spa bath. We made use of their £40 meal deal on the first night which was good value. Breakfast was plentiful. Although we didn't have twin beds as requested, the bed was plenty big enough for us.

Car parking is a bit tight so make sure they will have space when you book. This hotel is work in progress in areas being an old building but shouldn't affect your stay.

Everything, our room was spacious & comfy beds, everything you need as had kettle with tea/coffee tray well stocked & bathroom had all the toiletries needed. Breakfast was delicious and plenty of variety 👌 We even got a lift to the golf club where our function was which was kindly offered when we checked in ❤️

Nothing we didn’t like

Staff were excellent. It was set in a beautiful semi-rural location.

I did not enjoy having large dogs in the dining area. I know this is a British thing but it is potentially unhygienic. The venue was understaffed when we checked in. The room was too small to accomodate us and our luggage.
